Nuclear envelope assembly relies on CHMP-7 in the absence of BAF-LEM-mediated hole closure

S. R. Barger, L. Penfield, S. Bahmanyar

The paper investigates NE hole closure during meiosis II in C. elegans oocytes, showing distinct roles for BAF-LEM and LEM-2-CHMP-7 in sealing NE holes around spindle MTs.

Theoretical model of efficient phagocytosis driven by curved membrane proteins and active cytoskeleton forces

R. K. Sadhu, S. R. Barger, S. Penic, A. Iglic, M. Krendel, N. Gauthier, N. Gov

This paper presents a theoretical model explaining how curved membrane proteins and active cytoskeletal forces drive efficient phagocytosis, showing reduced adhesion strength requirements and faster engulfment.

Phagocytic 'teeth' and myosin-II 'jaw' power target constriction during phagocytosis

D. Vorselen, S. R. Barger, Y. Wang, W. Cai, J. A. Theriot, N. C. Gauthier, M. Krendel

The paper uses microscopy and force measurement techniques to show how localized actin and myosin forces drive target constriction during phagocytosis, revealing a distinct mechanism from 2D cell motility.

Dynamics of bacterial cell division: Z ring condensation is essential for cytokinesis

G. R. Squyres, M. J. Holmes, S. R. Barger, B. R. Pennycook, J. Ryan, V. T. Yan, E. C. Garner

The paper investigates the role of FtsZ binding proteins in bacterial cytokinesis, finding that Z ring condensation is essential for cell division.

Human Myosin 1e tail but not motor domain replaces fission yeast Myo1 domains to support myosin-I function during endocytosis

S. R. Barger, M. L. James, C. D. Pellenz, M. Krendel, V. Sirotkin

This study shows that the human Myo1e tail can partially rescue endocytosis in fission yeast when combined with the yeast Myo1 motor domain, while the motor domain cannot function in yeast.

Membrane-cytoskeleton mechanical feedback mediated by myosin-I controls phagocytic efficiency

S. R. Barger, N. S. Reilly, M. S. Shutova, Q. Li, P. Maiuri, M. S. Mooseker, R. A. Flavell, T. Svitkina, P. W. Oakes, M. Krendel, N. Gauthier

The paper shows that myosin 1e and 1f are required for efficient phagocytosis by regulating adhesion turnover and actin dynamics during phagocytic cup closure.
