Sperm-specific fertility factors SMZ-1/2 promote FB-MO biogenesis and MSP filament assembly in C. elegans

This study identifies SMZ-1/2 as PDZ proteins that initiate MSP filament assembly and FB-MO biogenesis in C. elegans sperm by coupling kinase signaling to organelle formation.

Adaptable centriole biogenesis via the intrinsically disordered protein ALMS1

This study identifies ALMS1 as an intrinsically disordered protein that mediates cartwheel dynamics during centriole biogenesis, showing its role in forming and disassembling cartwheel seeds and enabling adaptable centriole formation.

Bacteriophages of the predominant coral symbiont Endozoicomonas: novel models for coral holobiont interactions

The paper isolates and characterizes two novel bacteriophages infecting the coral symbiont Endozoicomonas, revealing their potential role in coral holobiont interactions.
