Identification of a Rabenosyn-5 like protein and Rab5b in host cell cytosol uptake reveals conservation of endosomal transport in malaria parasites

This study identifies a Rbsn5-like protein and Rab5b in malaria parasites, showing they function in endosomal transport of host cell cytosol, revealing conservation of endosomal mechanisms despite sequence divergence.

A partnership of the lipid scramblase XK and of the lipid transfer protein VPS13A at the plasma membrane

This study shows that VPS13A and XK interact at ER-PM contacts, with VPS13A's PH domain binding XK, and suggests this interaction may link lipid transfer to PM lipid scrambling, potentially contributing to neurodegeneration.

In situ architecture of the lipid transport protein VPS13C at ER-lysosomes membrane contacts

The paper presents the first in situ evidence for a bridge-like structure of VPS13C at ER-lysosome contacts, supporting its role in lipid transport.

VPS13D bridges the ER to Miro containing membranes

The paper shows VPS13D bridges ER and Miro-containing membranes to facilitate lipid transport between ER and mitochondria, linking yeast and metazoan functions of Gem1/Miro.

Optimized Vivid-derived Magnets photodimerizers for subcellular optogenetics

This paper describes the development of enhanced Magnets (eMags) for optogenetic control of subcellular processes without requiring concatemerization or low-temperature preincubation.
