Taxanes are widely used chemotherapeutics whose effects on cellular mechanics remain poorly understood. We show that paclitaxel induces rapid cellular contraction by promoting GEF‐H1 dissociation from microtubules and non‐muscle myosin II activation through RhoA/ROCK.

Picky Hsp90-Every Game with Another Mate [PDF]
In this issue of Molecular Cell, Sahasrabudhe et al. (2017) present a dramatically renovated functional cycle for the molecular chaperone Hsp90, which stimulates re-thinking of the mechanism of this vital protein folding ...

The Effect of Inkjet Ink Composition on Rheology And Jetting Behaviour [PDF]
This work presents recent results on the way linear and non linear viscoelastic properties of the fluids affect the jetting mechanism. Recent progress on quantitative characterising both high frequency linear (LVE) and non-linear (NLVE) viscoelasticity ...

This study identifies ARHGAP5, in addition to the frequently mutated ARHGAP35, as significantly mutated in endometrial cancer. Mutations in both genes co‐occur and are associated with their correlated downregulation. Functional CRISPR studies show that both paralogs regulate similar pathways, including actin cytoskeleton organization.

The spirochete endoflagellum is a unique motility apparatus among bacteria. Despite its critical importance for pathogenesis, the full composition of the flagellum remains to be determined. We have recently reported that FcpA is a novel flagellar protein

The kinase SRPK1 directly interacts with the protein TOPBP1 and regulates the pre‐mRNA splicing of WIZ thereby contributing to the activation of the ATR/CHK1 replicative checkpoint in response to replicative stress. This allows cancer cells' genomic stability and survival.

A script to highlight hydrophobicity and charge on protein surfaces [PDF]
The composition of protein surfaces determines both affinity and specificity of protein-protein interactions. Matching of hydrophobic contacts and charged groups on both sites of the interface are crucial to ensure specificity.

Cryo-EM structure of AAA + ATPase thorase reveals novel helical filament formation
The AAA+ (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities) ATPase, Thorase, also known as ATAD1, plays multiple roles in synaptic plasticity, mitochondrial quality control and mTOR signaling through disassembling protein complexes like AMPAR and

Mechanical Properties of Intermediate Filament Proteins [PDF]
Purified intermediate filament (IF) proteins can be reassembled in vitro to produce polymers closely resembling those found in cells, and these filaments form viscoelastic gels. The cross-links holding IFs together in the network include specific bonds between polypeptides extending from the filament surface and ionic interactions mediated by divalent ...
