biosights: January 23, 2012 - Septins rein in the membrane
RockefellerUnivPress
4 views
T cells require the septin family of GTP-binding proteins to maintain the integrity of their plasma membranes as they invade through tissues. Gilden et al. reveal that sept...

biosights: December 26, 2011 - A Twin-Track Approach to Building Desmosomes
RockefellerUnivPress
7 views
Desmosomes are intercellular adhesions whose adhesive core is formed by two distinct classes of cadherin molecules -- desmogleins and desmocollins. Nekrasova et al. reveal ...

biosights: November 28, 2011 - CKIδ Decentralizes the Centrosome
RockefellerUnivPress
20 views
When a T cell encounters a target antigen-presenting cell, the lymphocyte's centrosome relocalizes to a specialized contact between the two cells called the immunological s...

biosights: October 31, 2011 - Cofilin severs the ties between cytokinetic nodes
RockefellerUnivPress
50 views
Cytokinetic nodes are precursor structures that assemble into the actomyosin contractile ring that separates daughter cells in cytokinesis. Chen and Pollard describe how th...

biosights: October 3, 2011- Moesin keeps mitotic cells in shape
RockefellerUnivPress
39 views
The ERM protein Moesin helps mitotic cells undergo a series of dramatic shape changes by linking the actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane. Roubinet et al. describe how...

biosights: September 5, 2011- Actin puts the squeeze on Weibel-Palade bodies
RockefellerUnivPress
25 views
The actin cytoskeleton has been proposed to regulate exocytosis in many different ways. Nightingale et al. use a two-color, live-cell imaging assay to reveal two contrastin...

biosights: June 13, 2011- Tying the Golgi Ribbon to the Centrosome
RockefellerUnivPress
41 views
The mammalian Golgi apparatus exists as a continuous ribbon that clusters around the centrosome, but the significance of this organization is unclear. Hurtado et al. identi...
