Inhibitor-2 directs formation of PP1 holoenzymes through a docking motif-dependent transfer of catalytic subunits to adapters

Neha Varshney, Aleesa J. Schlientz, Johnathan L. Meaders…·Arshad B. Desai

The paper shows Inhibitor-2 facilitates PP1 holoenzyme formation by transferring catalytic subunits to adapters via its RVxF docking motif, with mutations disrupting this process.

The CYK-4 GAP domain regulates cortical targeting of centralspindlin to promote contractile ring assembly and facilitate ring dissolution

Aleesa J. Schlientz, Kian-Yong Lee, J. Sebastián Gómez-Cavazos…·Karen Oegema

This study shows that the CYK-4 GAP domain recruits centralspindlin to the equatorial cortex and its catalytic activity facilitates ring dissolution during cytokinesis.
