    VCP-dependent muscle degeneration is linked to defects in a dynamic tubular lysosomal network in vivo

    Alyssa E Johnson, Huidy Shu ... Graeme W Davis
    The AAA-ATPase VCP sustains sarcoplasmic proteostasis, in part, by controlling autophagosome-lysosome fusion and the integrity of a dynamic tubular lysosomal network.

    ISG15 counteracts Listeria monocytogenes infection

    Lilliana Radoshevich, Francis Impens ... Pascale Cossart
    The induction of ISG15 during bacterial infection can be independent of Type I Interferons and leads to an increase in the secretion of cytokines known to be critical for bacterial clearance.

    STIL binding to Polo-box 3 of PLK4 regulates centriole duplication

    Christian Arquint, Anna-Maria Gabryjonczyk ... Timm Maier
    Binding of STIL to PLK4's characteristic Polo-box 3 links PLK4 kinase activation to STIL self-association and is a crucial regulatory step for the localized recruitment of downstream factors in centriole duplication.

    Promiscuous interactions and protein disaggregases determine the material state of stress-inducible RNP granules

    Sonja Kroschwald, Shovamayee Maharana ... Simon Alberti
    A comparison in yeast and human cells reveals a remarkable variability in the properties of RNP granules and highlights a key role for protein disaggregation machines in regulating RNP granule assembly.

    The deca-GX3 proteins Yae1-Lto1 function as adaptors recruiting the ABC protein Rli1 for iron-sulfur cluster insertion

    Viktoria Désirée Paul, Ulrich Mühlenhoff ... Roland Lill
    Two newly identified assembly factors for the ribosome-associated iron-sulfur protein Rli1 reveal a general mechanism for how the cytosolic iron-sulfur protein assembly (CIA) machinery recruits apoproteins.

    Erk regulation of actin capping and bundling by Eps8 promotes cortex tension and leader bleb-based migration

    Jeremy S Logue, Alexander X Cartagena-Rivera ... Clare M Waterman
    Eps8, a specific effector of oncogenic signaling, organizes the cortical actin cytoskeleton of cancer cells to promote mechanical properties that favor a newly identified mode of confined, adhesion-independent cell migration.

    Immune surveillance of the lung by migrating tissue monocytes

    Mathieu P Rodero, Lucie Poupel ... Alexandre Boissonnas
    Monocytes display distinct migratory and functional activity compared to dendritic cells and alveolar macrophages in the lungs.

    The Notch-mediated hyperplasia circuitry in Drosophila reveals a Src-JNK signaling axis

    Diana M Ho, SK Pallavi, Spyros Artavanis-Tsakonas
    A diverse group of modifier genes, including the proto-oncogene Src, cooperate with Notch specifically to control cell proliferation.
