A constitutively monomeric UVR8 photoreceptor confers enhanced UV-B photomorphogenesis

The plant ultraviolet-B (UV-B) photoreceptor UVR8 plays an important role in UV-B acclimation and survival. UV-B absorption by homodimeric UVR8 induces its monomerization and interaction with the E3 ubiquitin ligase COP1, leading ultimately to gene express ...

Relief of ParB autoinhibition by parS DNA catalysis and recycling of ParB by CTP hydrolysis promote bacterial centromere assembly

Paolo De Los Rios, Stefano Zamuner

Three-component ParABS systems are widely distributed factors for plasmid partitioning and chromosome segregation in bacteria. ParB acts as adaptor protein between the 16-base pair centromeric parS DNA sequences and the DNA segregation proteins ParA and Sm ...

Correlative 3D microscopy of single cells using super-resolution and scanning ion-conductance microscopy

Aleksandra Radenovic, Georg Fantner, Vytautas Navikas, Adrien Charles-François Raymond Descloux, Samuel Mendes Leitão, Kristin Stefanie Grussmayer

High-resolution live-cell imaging is necessary to study complex biological phenomena. Modern fluorescence microscopy methods are increasingly combined with complementary, label-free techniques to put the fluorescence information into the cellular context. ...

Receptor-induced transient responses in cells with oscillatory actin dynamics

Jose Negrete Jr

Living cells adjust their sensing and migratory machinery in response to changes in their environment. In this work, we show that cells of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum modulate the dynamical state of their actin cytoskeleton in response to an ...

Ligand Binding to the Collagen VI Receptor Triggers a Talin-to-RhoA Switch that Regulates Receptor Endocytosis

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Matteo Dal Peraro, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Luciano Andres Abriata, Béatrice Kunz

Capillary morphogenesis gene 2 (CMG2/ANTXR2) is a cell surface receptor for both collagen VI and anthrax toxin. Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in CMG2 lead to a severe condition, hyaline fibromatosis syndrome (HFS). We have here dissected a network o ...

Buckling instabilities and spatio-temporal dynamics of active elastic filaments

Tobias Schneider

Biological filaments driven by molecular motors tend to experience tangential propulsive forces also known as active follower forces. When such a filament encounters an obstacle, it deforms, which reorients its follower forces and alters its entire motion. ...

Traction Forces Control Cell-Edge Dynamics and Mediate Distance Sensitivity during Cell Polarization

Franck Claude Raynaud, Alicia Carine Bornert, Zeno Messi

Traction forces are generated by cellular actin-myosin system and transmitted to the environment through adhesions. They are believed to drive cell motion, shape changes, and extracellular matrix remodeling [1 -3] . However, most of the traction force anal ...

Fluorogenic probes for live-cell imaging

Aleksandar Salim

The development of novel fluorogenic probes and their use in live-cell imaging lead to a plethora of discoveries in biological research. Herein I report on novel red fluorogenic probes for live-cell super-resolution microscopy of various cellular organelle ...

Integrin-Mediated Adhesion in the Unicellular Holozoan Capsaspora owczarzaki

Omaya Pierre Dudin

In animals, cell-matrix adhesions are essential for cell migration, tissue organization, and differentiation, which have central roles in embryonic development [1-6]. Integrins are the major cell surface adhesion receptors mediating cell-matrix adhesion in ...

Ubiquitous macropinocytosis in anthozoans

Gaëlle Delphine Toullec

Transport of fluids, molecules, nutrients or nanoparticles through coral tissues are poorly documented. Here, we followed the flow of various tracers from the external seawater to within the cells of all tissues in living animals. After entering the genera ...
