The absence of yeast Pex23 and Pex29 results in a mitochondrial fusion defect

This study shows that absence of Pex23 and Pex29 in yeast causes mitochondrial fusion defects, independent of membrane contact sites.

The Hansenula polymorpha Mitochondrial Carrier Family proteins Mir1 and Aac2 are dually localized at peroxisomes and mitochondria

This study identifies dual localization of mitochondrial carrier proteins Aac2 and Mir1 to peroxisomes and mitochondria in Hansenula polymorpha, revealing requirements for Pex3 and Pex19 in peroxisomal targeting.

Cofilin-Driven Nuclear Deformation Drives Dendritic Cell Migration through the Extracellular Matrix

This study shows that cofilin-1 phosphorylation drives nuclear deformation and enhances dendritic cell migration through extracellular matrix.

The FIGNL1-interacting protein C1orf112 is synthetic lethal with PICH and mediates RAD51 retention on chromatin.

The paper identifies C1orf112 as a synthetic lethal partner of PICH, showing it stabilizes FIGNL1 and regulates RAD51 retention on chromatin, impacting genome maintenance.

T cell cholesterol efflux suppresses apoptosis and senescence and increases atherosclerosis in middle aged mice

This study shows that T-cell cholesterol efflux via ABCA1/ABCG1 suppresses apoptosis and senescence, but paradoxically reduces atherosclerosis in middle-aged mice.

Flotillin mediated membrane fluidity controls peptidoglycan synthesis and MreB movement.

This study shows that bacterial flotillins regulate membrane fluidity, which affects MreB movement and peptidoglycan synthesis.

Pex24 and Pex32 tether peroxisomes to the ER for organelle biogenesis, positioning and segregation

This study identifies Pex24 and Pex32 as ER proteins tethering peroxisomes to the ER, essential for biogenesis, positioning, and segregation, with Pex11 facilitating their function.
