An ERAD-independent role for rhomboid pseudoprotease Dfm1 in mediating sphingolipid homeostasis

This study identifies a novel ERAD-independent role for Dfm1 in sphingolipid homeostasis by regulating Orm2 export and degradation.

The OPAQUE1/DISCORDIA2 myosin XI is required for phragmoplast guidance during asymmetric cell division in maize

This study identifies OPAQUE1 as essential for phragmoplast guidance during asymmetric cell division in maize, showing it interacts with kinesins to ensure proper cytokinesis.

Enzymatic RNA Biotinylation for Affinity Purification and Identification of RNA-protein Interactions

This paper introduces an enzymatic RNA biotinylation method to identify RNA-protein interactions and enrich RNA in mammalian cells, demonstrating its utility in identifying binding partners of 7SK snRNA and HOTAIR.

BTLA and PD-1 employ distinct phosphatases to differentially repress T cell signaling

This study identifies that BTLA and PD-1 use distinct phosphatases to differentially repress T cell signaling, highlighting mechanistic differences between two co-inhibitory receptors.

Active protein neddylation or ubiquitylation is dispensable for stress granule dynamics

This study shows that active ubiquitylation or neddylation is not required for stress granule dynamics, as inhibitors of these processes do not affect SG formation or dissolution.
