RNA viruses co-opt host endomembranes to form replication complexes, often triggering cellular stress and immune responses. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana activates selective autophagy to res...

Abstract. Tropaeolum tuberosum is a tuber-forming crop native to the Andes, valued for its nutritional content, pest resistance and adaptation to high-alti

This study reveals that enhanced autophagy in root-hair-forming cells helps Arabidopsis store excess sodium, control oxidative stress and tolerate salt stress.

A pressure-release valve at the aboral pole of a sea anemone redefines body openings as hydraulic regulators, not just guts.

Drosophila larvae grow a hundredfold within a few days. Lefranc et al. reveal that gut metabolism is transiently reprogrammed to support unbridled juvenile growth but also adult fitness, showing that ...

Protein N-terminal acetylation profoundly influences protein fate. Here, the authors establish NatB as a central regulator of the interplay between ubiquitin–proteasome system and autophagy, and highl...

Clearance of arrested nascent polypeptides resulting from ribosomal stalling is essential for proteostasis. Stalled endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound ribosomes are marked by ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 (...

Volume EM and connectome reconstruction of the apical organ of a ctenophore combined with high-speed imaging reveals a neuronal coordination of balancer cilia in the gravisensory organ.
