van Haren et al. develop a tool to rapidly dissociate proteins from the growing end of microtubules through photo-induced disassembly of end-binding protein 1 (EB1), and find that this reduces microtubule growth and alters cell migration.
Gavriilidis et al. show that MTM1, which is mutated in X-linked centronuclear myopathy, and UBQLN2 recognize misfolded desmin and vimentin and trigger their degradation to clear misfolded intermediated filaments prior to aggregate formation.
Gawrzak et al. show that MSK1 regulates bone metastatic dormancy of ER+ breast cancer. MSK1 affects histone modifications at luminal transcription factor promoters to prevent cell differentiation and bone homing.
RIP3 regulates mitochondrial metabolism. Yang et al. show that RIP3 activates the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex to enhance aerobic respiration and increase mitochondrial ROS during necroptosis, and MLKL is required for RIP3 translocation to mitochondria.
Wu et al. show that myosin-Va is needed for the initiation of primary cilia formation by transporting preciliary vesicles to the distal appendages of the mother centriole in a manner dependent on both microtubules and centrosomal actin.
By analysing the exonuclease EXD2, Silva et al. find that it localizes to mitochondria, and that its loss alters metabolism by affecting mitochondrial translation and causes developmental delay and lifespan extension in flies.
Chen et al. demonstrate that transient Scute activation induces asymmetric division in Drosophila intestinal stem cells, which generates enteroendocrine progenitor cells that divide once before differentiation to yield a pair of enteroendocrine cells.
