Apollo—Taking the Lead in Telomere Protection [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2010 The single-stranded overhangs at the ends of telomeres are thought to be critical for telomere maintenance, but how they are generated has been largely unclear. Two studies (one in this issue of Molecular Cell, Wu et al., 2010) have now implicated the Apollo nuclease in maintaining the overhang specifically at those telomeres generated by leading ...

Neuron Migration: Anillin Protects Leading Edge Actin [PDF]
Current Biology, 2015 Establishment of a neuronal system requires proper regulation of the F-actin-rich leading edges of migrating neurons and neurite growth cones. A new study shows that RhoG signals through the multi-domain protein anillin to stabilize F-actin in these structures.
