    A mechanosensing mechanism controls plasma membrane shape homeostasis at the nanoscale

    Xarxa Quiroga, Nikhil Walani ... Pere Roca-Cusachs
    Cell stretch release generates plasma membrane (PM) evaginations of ≈100 nm, triggering a local event of actin polymerization that flattens and recovers PM shape.

    Fluorescein-based sensors to purify human α-cells for functional and transcriptomic analyses

    Sevim Kahraman, Kimitaka Shibue ... Rohit N Kulkarni
    Live human pancreatic α-cells can be purified effectively using zinc-based reaction probe diacetylated Zinpyr1 and cultured as pseudoislets without losing their viability and function.

    RNA-binding deficient TDP-43 drives cognitive decline in a mouse model of TDP-43 proteinopathy

    Julie C Necarsulmer, Jeremy M Simon ... Todd J Cohen
    Impairing TDP-43 RNA-binding capacity through a single acetylation-mimic mutation alters TDP-43 function and recapitulates biochemical, molecular, and behavioral features of sporadic TDP-43 proteinopathies, thus providing opportunities for new research into pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.

    PerTurboID, a targeted in situ method reveals the impact of kinase deletion on its local protein environment in the cytoadhesion complex of malaria-causing parasites

    Heledd Davies, Hugo Belda ... Moritz Treeck
    A new mass spectrometry-based method to identify and quantify changes in a subcellular local protein environment shows the impact of deletion of a kinase the human malaria parasites export into the host cell.

    Atypical peripheral actin band formation via overactivation of RhoA and nonmuscle myosin II in mitofusin 2-deficient cells

    Yueyang Wang, Lee D Troughton ... Qing Deng
    Mfn2 depletion upregulates cytosolic Ca2+ in mouse fibroblast cells, leading to RhoA and nonmuscle myosin II overactivation and a prominent peripheral actin band structure, which is dependent on the contractile force on the cell–substrate interface.

    A cell wall synthase accelerates plasma membrane partitioning in mycobacteria

    Takehiro Kado, Zarina Akbary ... M Sloan Siegrist
    A newly established reversible model of membrane departitioning and repartitioning in bacteria uncovers the role of a cell wall synthase in regulating membrane partitioning.

    Continuous sensing of nutrients and growth factors by the mTORC1-TFEB axis

    Breanne Sparta, Nont Kosaisawe ... John G Albeck
    Single-cell data on cell signaling responses to nutrient variation enable quantitative models of cellular control over protein synthesis, formalizing the concept of mTOR as a homeostatic controller of cellular metabolism.
