A JNK-interacting protein 1 acts across the midline to mediate synaptic localization of the SARM1 calcium-signaling scaffold protein for asymmetric neuronal fate choice

Yi‐Wen Hsieh, Shengyao Yuan, Jun Yang, Cesar Siete, Chiou‐Fen Chuang

This study identifies JIP-1 as a mediator of synaptic TIR-1 localization in C. elegans AWC neurons, promoting asymmetric subtype specification through non-cell autonomous signaling.

An apical junction protein antagonizes mechanosensitive calcium signaling to establish stochastic choices of olfactory neuron subtypes

Rui Xiong, Jun Yang, Shengyao Yuan, Eleana Liu, Xiaohong Wang, Chiou‐Fen Chuang

The paper identifies AJM-1's role in promoting AWCON olfactory neuron subtype specification by antagonizing mechanosensitive calcium signaling in C. elegans.

Kinesin-1 trans-synaptically regulates synaptic localization of SARM1 for asymmetric neuron diversification

Anaam Khalid, Peter Sahyouni, Jun Yang, Shengyao Yuan, Rui Xiong, Chiou‐Fen Chuang

The paper shows that UNC-116/kinesin-1 and UNC-104/kinesin-3 work together to transport factors that regulate TIR-1/SARM1 signaling, promoting asymmetric neuron subtype differentiation in C. elegans.
