LIN28 phosphorylation by MAPK/ERK couples signalling to the post-transcriptional control of  pluripotency
Nature Cell Biology 19, 60 (2017). doi:10.1038/ncb3453 Authors: Kaloyan M. Tsanov, Daniel S. Pearson, Zhaoting Wu, Areum Han, Robinson Triboulet, Marc T. Seligson, John T. Powers, Jihan K. Osborne, Susan Kane, Steven P. Gygi, Richard I. Gregory & George Q. Daley Signalling and post-transcriptional gene control are both critical for the regulation of pluripotency, yet how they are integrated to influence cell identity remains poorly understood. LIN28 (also known as LIN28A), a highly conserved RNA-binding protein, has emerged as a central post-transcriptional regulator of c...

Tricellular junctions regulate intestinal stem cell behaviour to maintain homeostasis
Nature Cell Biology 19, 52 (2017). doi:10.1038/ncb3454 Authors: Martin Resnik-Docampo, Christopher L. Koehler, Rebecca I. Clark, Joseph M. Schinaman, Vivien Sauer, Daniel M. Wong, Sophia Lewis, Cecilia D’Alterio, David W. Walker & D. Leanne Jones Ageing results in loss of tissue homeostasis across taxa. In the intestine of Drosophila melanogaster, ageing is correlated with an increase in intestinal stem cell (ISC) proliferation, a block in terminal differentiation of progenitor cells, activation of inflammatory pathways, and increased intestinal permeability. However, causal relationships between these ph...

Selective Y centromere inactivation triggers chromosome shattering in micronuclei and repair by non-homologous end joining
Nature Cell Biology 19, 68 (2017). doi:10.1038/ncb3450 Authors: Peter Ly, Levi S. Teitz, Dong H. Kim, Ofer Shoshani, Helen Skaletsky, Daniele Fachinetti, David C. Page & Don W. Cleveland Chromosome missegregation into a micronucleus can cause complex and localized genomic rearrangements known as chromothripsis, but the underlying mechanisms remain unresolved. Here we developed an inducible Y centromere-selective inactivation strategy by exploiting a CENP-A/histone H3 chimaera to directly examine the fate of missegregated chromosomes in otherwise diploid human cells. Using this approach, we identified a temporal...

Getting a grip on collective cell migration
Nature Cell Biology 18, 1265 (2016). doi:10.1038/ncb3447 Authors: Tamal Das & Joachim P. Spatz Many cell types in our body move in a collective manner, which requires individual cells to align their movements relative to that of their neighbours. A mechanism is now described in which cadherin-rich protrusions are extended from leading migrating cells and engulfed by follower cells to guide collective migration. (Source: Nature Cell Biology)

Remodelling germ cells by intercellular cannibalism
Nature Cell Biology 18, 1267 (2016). doi:10.1038/ncb3449 Authors: Jennifer K. Heppert & Bob Goldstein Work from the early 1980s reported strange lobes protruding from Caenorhabditis elegans germ cell precursors. However, the fate and potential significance of these lobes remained unexplored for decades. Now, neighbouring endodermal cells are shown to sever and digest these lobes, in an unexpected process of 'intercellular cannibalism', which could play an important part in regulating primordial germ cells.

IQGAP1 makes PI(3)K signalling as easy as PIP, PIP2, PIP3
Nature Cell Biology 18, 1263 (2016). doi:10.1038/ncb3440 Authors: Lucia E. Rameh & Ashley M. Mackey Despite being one of the most studied signalling pathways, precisely how phospholipid synthesis is regulated in the phosphoinositide signalling cascade remains unclear. The scaffold protein IQGAP1 is now shown to orchestrate the assembly of a multi-enzyme complex that streamlines PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 synthesis to facilitate Akt activation in response to extracellular stimuli.
