#OPENACCESS: Reflectin proteins form net charge density-tuned multiphase condensates that may facilitate spatial organization in squid skin Bragg lamellae.
Reid Gordon, Robert Levenson, Brandon Malady, Yahya Al Sabeh, and Daniel E. Morse. buff.ly/wzRZecG

www.cell.com Reflectin proteins form net charge density-tuned multiphase condensates that may facilitate spatial... The reflectins are cationic proteins that transduce the neuronal signals that tune skin color for dynamic camouflage and communication in loliginid squid. Neuronally released acetylcholine (ACh)...

Like a wobbly balloon animal about to snap, membrane tubes fluctuate before splitting! Russell K.W. Spencer et al. explore how these tiny wiggles help estimate the kinetic prefactor governing membrane fission. buff.ly/bieJYrU

www.cell.com Estimating the kinetic prefactor for membrane tube fission from fluctuation dynamics Membrane fission is an essential process in cellular organization, governed by both the free-energy barrier separating the (meta)stable states and a kinetic prefactor that encodes membrane dynamics....

#OPENACCESS: Identification of hotspot residues in the FusB:EF-G binding interface. Anastasija Kulik, Iain Manfield, Arnout P. Kalverda, Andrew Wilson,
and Jennifer H. Tomlinson. buff.ly/TD3FznN

www.cell.com Identification of hotspot residues in the FusB:EF-G binding interface With a lack of new antimicrobials recently entering the clinic, another tactic to combat antimicrobial resistance is to inhibit the resistance mechanisms to existing antibiotics, prolonging the...
