A WDR35-dependent coatomer transports ciliary membrane proteins from the Golgi to the cilia

T. Quidwai, E. A. Hall, M. A. Keighren, W. Leng, P. Kiesel, J. N. Wells, L. C. Murphy, J. A. Marsh, G. Pigino, P. Mill

The paper shows WDR35 is part of a coatomer complex that transports ciliary membrane proteins from the Golgi to cilia, essential for cilia elongation.

Reorganization of budding yeast cytoplasm upon energy depletion

G. Marini, E. Nueske, W. Leng, S. Alberti, G. Pigino

This study uses electron tomography to show that yeast cells reorganize their cytoplasm and form membrane-less organelles when ATP is depleted, as part of a survival strategy.

Crumbs organizes the transport machinery by regulating apical levels of PI(4,5)P2 in Drosophila

J. Lattner, W. Leng, E. Knust, M. Brankatschk, D. Flores-Benitez

This study shows Crumbs regulates apical PI(4,5)P2 levels by organizing transport machinery in Drosophila, affecting secretion and membrane structure.

Filament formation by the translation factor eIF2B regulates protein synthesis in starved cells

E. Nueske, G. Marini, D. Richter, W. Leng, A. Bogdanova, T. M. Franzmann, G. Pigino, S. Alberti

This study shows that eIF2B filament formation in starved yeast cells regulates translation by acidification-induced assembly, independent of Gcn2 kinase, promoting stress survival and recovery.
