Germ fate determinants protect germ precursor cell division by restricting septin and anillin levels at the division plane

C. Q. Connors, M. S. Mauro, J. T. Wiles, A. D. Countryman, S. L. Martin, B. Lacroix, M. Shirasu-Hiza, J. Dumont, K. E. Kasza, T. R. Davies, J. C. Canman

The paper identifies PIE-1 and POS-1 as germ fate determinants that protect P2 germ precursor cells from cytokinesis failure by reducing septin and anillin levels at the division plane.

IN VITRO RECONSTITUTION OF DYNEIN FORCE EXERTION IN BULK CYTOPLASM

H. Palenzuela, B. Lacroix, J. Salle, K. Minami, T. Shima, A. Jegou, G. Romet-Lemonne, N. Minc

This study demonstrates that cargo motion in bulk cytoplasm exerts forces on microtubules, revealing how cargo size and MT length influence force efficiency and enabling tug-of-war dynamics.
