    Spindle assembly checkpoint-dependent mitotic delay is required for cell division in absence of centrosomes

    KC Farrell, Jennifer T Wang, Tim Stearns
    Centrosomes in mammalian cells are required for timely completion of mitosis and in their absence the spindle assembly checkpoint is required to delay mitosis and allow assembly of a functional spindle.

    Katanin, kinesin-13, and ataxin-2 inhibit premature interaction between maternal and paternal genomes in C. elegans zygotes

    Elizabeth A Beath, Cynthia Bailey ... Francis J McNally
    Limiting cytoplasmic streaming contributes to maintaining spatial separation of the sperm contents from the female meiotic spindle after fertilization.

    A genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen identifies calreticulin as a selective repressor of ATF6α

    Joanne Tung, Lei Huang ... Adriana Ordonez
    Calreticulin, beyond its known role as a chaperone, also serves as an endoplasmic reticulum repressor of ATF6⍺, selectively regulating one arm of the unfolded protein response.

    Presynaptic Rac1 in the hippocampus selectively regulates working memory

    Jaebin Kim, Edwin Bustamante ... Scott H Soderling
    Presynaptic Rac1 inhibition in the hippocampus impairs spatial working memory, potentially by modulating the synaptic cytoskeleton and kinase-mediated phosphorylation of key synaptic vesicle proteins.

    circHIPK3 nucleates IGF2BP2 and functions as a competing endogenous RNA

    Trine Line Hauge Okholm, Andreas Bjerregaard Kamstrup ... Christian Kroun Damgaard
    A dysregulated circular RNA in bladder cancer controls oncogenic pathways by tethering specific RNA-binding proteins, which in turn inhibits their normal functions.
