ClC-7 links PIKfyve inhibition to Rab-dependent LRRK2 activity at lysosomes
Increased activity of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) confers Parkinson’s disease risk. LRRK2 dynamically localizes to lysosomal membranes in response to various stresses, yet the mechanisms by which distinct lysosomal perturbations...

Swollen lysosomes grab Rabs for a CASM-free route to LRRK2 activation
Multiple lysosomal stresses activate Parkinson’s-linked LRRK2 kinase, and these involve the so-called “CASM” pathway to help recruit LRRK2 to lysosome surfaces. Clegg et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202511137) show that LRRK2, activa...

α-Catenin phosphorylation is tension-sensitive and supports epithelial barrier functions via afadin
Zonula adherens junctions (zAJs) are spatially proximal to tight junctions (TJs), in a superstructure known as the apical junctional complex (AJC). A key component of the AJC is a circumferential ring of F-actin, but how actomyosin contr...

The AMPK kinase Sak1 activates separase and promotes its nuclear localization during mitosis
Accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis requires the precise regulation of separase, a protease that cleaves cohesin to trigger the separation of sister chromatids. Here, we identify the AMPK-activating kinase Sak1 as a novel regu...

The role of cell growth rate on accumulation of the mitotic cyclin Cdc13 in fission yeast
Eukaryotic cells control their size by coordinating growth and division. Fission yeast divide at a reproducible cell size due to regulated activation of the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdk1. The nuclear concentration of mitotic cyclin Cdc13 ...

A nematode-trapping fungus orchestrates polarity cues, septins, and NOX signaling for trap formation
Reprogramming cell morphogenesis in response to environmental cues is fundamental to microbial adaptation and survival. The nematode-trapping fungus (NTF) Arthrobotrys oligospora exemplifies this plasticity by developing adhesive traps t...

Declining centromere strength compromises meiotic chromosome segregation in aging oocytes
Maternal age is the primary risk factor for aneuploidy in mammalian oocytes, but the molecular mechanisms that preserve meiotic chromosome segregation fidelity during aging remain incompletely understood. Using ultrastructural analysis, ...

ARF-1 coordinates cargo sorting at FERARI endosomal recycling hubs
Endosomal pathways are central to cellular organization, compartmentalization, and intercellular communication. Independent of the endocytic entry route, sorting endosomes function as critical junctions at which membrane proteins are sor...

Biogenesis of nuclear lipid droplets is regulated by a Sir2-Csa1-Lro1 signaling pathway at the INM
In response to cellular signals, lipid droplets are formed at the inner nuclear membrane (INM), which plays a key role in maintaining membrane homeostasis and energy storage. However, the signaling pathway that regulates nuclear lipid dr...

Drosophila dendrites are resilient to adult-onset deficits in mitochondrial dynamics
Mitochondrial transport, fusion, and fission are necessary for neuronal development, but the role of mitochondrial dynamics in neuronal maintenance remains unclear. In this work, we employed functional in vivo imaging of neurons in the D...
