SpoIIIE forms a protein channel that spans the two lipid bilayers of the septum and mediates chromosome translocation and reversible membrane fission during Bacilus subtilis sporulation.

Cytonemes mediate, and are essential for, Wingless signaling from the Drosophila wing disc to disc-associated myoblasts and for Delta-Notch signaling from these myoblasts to the dorsal air sac primordium.

oMAP4 is a microtubule crosslinker that restricts motor driven microtubule motility and cooperates with microtubule motors in the establishment of paraxial microtubule arrangements in differentiating muscle cells.

Under normal nutritional conditions, G-protein coupled receptors can control autophagy by regulating the degradation of key autophagic regulator Atg14L through ZBTB16-mediated ubiquitination and proteasome degradation.

Cellular hallmarks of thermal limits are evolutionarily conserved in nematodes, and changes in surface to volume ratio reflect restricted aerobic metabolism at these limits.

Female meiotic spindles correct trisomy by expelling extra chromosomes into the first polar body.

A contractile structural protein of the membrane-associated cytoskeleton is a Hippo signaling component that works through the regulation of non-muscle myosin activity in Drosophila.

Rab6A binds directly to both the C-terminus and the N-terminal motor domain of the kinesin KIF1C to regulate vesicle motility and Golgi organization.

Slx9 is a newly discovered type of RanGTP-binding protein required for Crm1-mediated nuclear export.
