    Small molecule-mediated refolding and activation of myosin motor function

    Michael B Radke, Manuel H Taft ... Dietmar J Manstein
    The small molecule EMD 57033 is one of a new class of pharmacological chaperones that stabilize, enhance the activity of, and correct stress-induced misfolding of myosin proteins.

    Plasticity of both planar cell polarity and cell identity during the development of Drosophila

    Pedro Saavedra, Jean-Paul Vincent ... José Casal
    In the Drosophila larval epidermis both the cell identity and polarity of individual cells change as a result of cell rearrangements.

    Shugoshin biases chromosomes for biorientation through condensin recruitment to the pericentromere

    Kitty F Verzijlbergen, Olga O Nerusheva ... Adele L Marston
    Shugoshin proteins help to align chromosomes so that copies of the same chromosome attach to microtubules from opposite poles during cell division.

    Arf1/COPI machinery acts directly on lipid droplets and enables their connection to the ER for protein targeting

    Florian Wilfling, Abdou Rachid Thiam ... Tobias C Walther
    The targeting of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to lipid droplets relies on surface modulation of the lipid droplet by the Arf1/COPI machinery.

    Single-molecule analysis reveals self assembly and nanoscale segregation of two distinct cavin subcomplexes on caveolae

    Yann Gambin, Nicholas Ariotti ... Robert G Parton
    New insights into the assembly and membrane interactions of the caveolar coat complex reveal the reversible association/dissociation of distinct subcomplexes onto the membrane, which differs from the assembly/disassembly of clathrin-coated pits.

    Modes of flagellar assembly in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Trypanosoma brucei

    Johanna L Höög, Sylvain Lacomble ... Keith Gull
    Comparative electron tomography of growing flagellar tips reveals that axonemal growth differs between short and long flagella, and between species.

    p97-dependent retrotranslocation and proteolytic processing govern formation of active Nrf1 upon proteasome inhibition

    Senthil K Radhakrishnan, Willem den Besten, Raymond J Deshaies
    The enzyme p97/VCP regulates the activity of the transcription factor Nrf1 to promote increased transcription of genes that encode proteasome subunits following inhibition of the proteasome.

    USP13 antagonizes gp78 to maintain functionality of a chaperone in ER-associated degradation

    Yanfen Liu, Nia Soetandyo ... Yihong Ye
    A deubiquitinase antagonizes the activity of an associated E3 ligase to prevent uncontrolled ubiquitination of a degradation machinery protein and thus maintain its functionality in protein quality control at the endoplasmic reticulum.
