Non-muscle myosin 2 can incorporate into established filaments in cells without an assembly competence domain

Kehan Wu, Hiral P. Patel, Huini Wu…·Jordan R. Beach

This study shows that non-muscle myosin 2A lacking the ACD can co-assemble with existing filaments, indicating the ACD is not required for association with established filaments.

The PCM scaffold enables RNA localization to centrosomes

Junnan Fang, Weiyi Tian, Melissa A. Quintanilla…·Dorothy A. Lerit

The paper investigates how Plp mRNA localizes to centrosomes, showing that its coding sequence is necessary and sufficient for localization and that PCM scaffold interactions facilitate this process.
