    Enterovirus D68 2A protease causes nuclear pore complex dysfunction and independently contributes to motor neuron toxicity

    Katrina M Zinn, Mathew W McLaren ... Matthew J Elrick
    Enterovirus D68, a cause of acute flaccid myelitis, disrupts the composition and function of the nuclear pore complex primarily through its 2A protease, which is also toxic to motor neurons.

    A rapid transfer of virions coated with heparan sulfate from the ECM to CD151 defines an early step in the human papillomavirus infection cascade

    Annika Massenberg, Yahya Homsi ... Thorsten Lang
    In an assay focusing on active virus recruitment rather than passive binding, STED microscopy reveals early association of virions to CD151, indicating its early involvement in viral entry platforms formation.

    Membrane binding controls the ATPase cycle and localization of MinD in Bacillus subtilis

    Helge Feddersen, Charlotte Dyckmans, Marc Bramkamp
    Dynamic relocalization of MinD in Bacillus subtilis arises from membrane binding of monomers and dimers with membrane-triggered ATP hydrolysis, suggesting MinE-like activators are unnecessary for Min system dynamics.
