Membrane contact sites regulate vacuolar fission via sphingolipid metabolism

K. Hanaoka, K. Nishikawa, A. Ikeda, P. Schlarmann, S. Sasaki, S. Yamashita, A. Nakaji, S. Fujii, K. Funato

This study shows that deletion of tricalbins disrupts vacuolar morphology in yeast by altering sphingolipid metabolism through membrane contact sites.

Ciliary protein CEP290 regulates focal adhesion via microtubule system in non-ciliated cells

K. Matsuo, Y. Nakajima, M. Shigeta, D. Kobayashi, S. Sakaki, S. Inoue, N. Takeshita, A. Ueyama, K. Nishikawa, R. Saba, T. Yokoyama, K. Yashiro

This study identifies a cilia-independent role of CEP290 in non-ciliated cells by regulating microtubule elongation and focal adhesion through its interaction with APC.

The distinctive mechanical and structural signatures of residual force enhancement in myofibers

A. L. Hessel, M. Kuehn, B. Palmer, D. Nissen, D. Mishra, V. Joumaa, J. Freundt, W. Ma, K. Nishikawa, T. Irving, W. A. Linke

The paper investigates titin's role in residual force enhancement (RFE) in muscle by analyzing structural changes in myofibers with and without titin cleavage and in a mutant strain.

Rational Chemical Design of Molecular Glue Degraders

E. S. Toriki, J. W. Papatzimas, K. Nishikawa, D. Dovala, L. M. McGregor, M. J. Hesse, J. M. McKenna, J. A. Tallarico, M. Schirle, D. K. Nomura

This paper develops a strategy to convert protein-targeting ligands into molecular glue degraders by identifying a covalent handle that induces proteasome-mediated degradation of target proteins.

Development and evaluation of PCR primers for environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding of Amphibia

M. K. Sakata, M. U. Kawata, A. Kurabayashi, T. Kurita, M. Nakamura, T. Shirako, R. kakehashi, K. Nishikawa, M. Y. Hossman, T. Nishijima, J. Kabamoto, M. Miya, T. Minamoto

The paper develops and evaluates PCR primers for eDNA metabarcoding of amphibians, finding that the Amph16S primer set detects twice as many species as physical surveys in agricultural ecosystems.

Mechanism of evolution by genetic assimilation: Equivalence and independence of genetic mutation and epigenetic modulation in phenotypic expression

K. Nishikawa, A. R. Kinjo

The paper investigates genetic assimilation by showing that epigenetic and genetic changes can independently and equivalently drive phenotypic changes through natural selection.
