CRABP1 Signalosomes in Non-Canonical Actions of Retinoic Acid—Maintaining Health and Preventing Thyroid Dysfunction in Aging by Jennifer Nhieu, Fatimah Najjar, Li-Na Wei

“…RA also elicits rapid, RAR-independent (noncanonical) activities mediated by Cellular RA Binding Protein 1 (CRABP1) to modulate cytosolic signaling. CRABP1 functions by forming protein complexes, named CRABP1 signalosomes, to modulate signal propagation in a cell type-specific manner. …”

RNA polymerase II primes Polycomb‐repressed developmental genes throughout terminal neuronal differentiation by Carmelo Ferrai, Elena Torlai Triglia, Jessica R Risner‐Janiczek, Tiago Rito, Owen JL Rackham, Inês de Santiago, Alexander Kukalev, Mario Nicodemi, Altuna Akalin, Meng Li, Mark A Ungless, Ana Pombo

“…Here, we map the genome‐wide occupancy of RNAPII and Polycomb from pluripotent ESCs to non‐dividing functional dopaminergic neurons. We find that poised RNAPII complexes are ubiquitously present at Polycomb‐repressed genes at all stages of neuronal differentiation. …”

Static Clathrin Assemblies at the Peripheral Vacuole-Plasma Membrane Interface of the Parasitic Protozoan Giardia lamblia. by Jon Paulin Zumthor, Lenka Cernikova, Samuel Rout, Andres Kaech, Carmen Faso, Adrian B Hehl

“…Here, we investigated the molecular consequences of these adaptations on the Giardia endocytic machinery and membrane coat complexes. Despite the absence of canonical clathrin coated vesicles in electron microscopy, Giardia possesses conserved PV-associated clathrin heavy chain (GlCHC), dynamin-related protein (GlDRP), and assembly polypeptide complex 2 (AP2) subunits, suggesting a novel function for GlCHC and its adaptors. …”

Lowe Syndrome protein OCRL1 supports maturation of polarized epithelial cells. by Adam G Grieve, Rachel D Daniels, Elena Sanchez-Heras, Matthew J Hayes, Stephen E Moss, Karl Matter, Martin Lowe, Timothy P Levine

“…We show that a proportion of OCRL1 targets intercellular junctions at the early stages of their formation, co-localizing both with adherens junctional components and with tight junctional components. Correlating with this distribution, OCRL1 forms complexes with junctional components α-catenin and zonula occludens (ZO)-1/2/3. …”
