    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.

    The equatorial position of the metaphase plate ensures symmetric cell divisions

    Chia Huei Tan, Ivana Gasic ... Patrick Meraldi
    Human cells center the position of the metaphase plate before anaphase onset to ensure the formation of equal-sized daughter cells.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    LXRs link metabolism to inflammation through Abca1-dependent regulation of membrane composition and TLR signaling

    Ayaka Ito, Cynthia Hong ... Peter Tontonoz
    The cholesterol-sensing nuclear receptor LXR regulates inflammatory responses by altering the lipid composition of cell membranes.
