Twisted pollen tubes induce infertility

Plants with multiple sets of chromosomes have advantages over their relatives with a double set. But why they often start out infertile was only partially understood. Biologists at ETH Zurich have now discovered a new reason for the initial difficulties.

Transport of CLCA2 to the nucleus by extracellular vesicles controls keratinocyte survival and migration

A recent "Journal of Extracellular Vesicles" paper by the Werner group (IMHS) identified an unexpected nuclear transport mechanism of the stress-regulated transmembrane protein CLCA2 by extracellular vesicles (EVs). The presence of CLCA2 in the nucleus is required for the regulation of key cellular functions in skin keratinocytes.

Assembly platform FimD ensures most stable quaternary structure formation of type 1 pili

In a "Nature Communications" article, the Glockshuber (IMBB), Hospenthal (IMBB), Waksman (UCL and Birkbeck, UK), Meier (LPC, D-CHAB) and Wiegand (RWTH Aachen University, Germany) groups, show that the assembly platform FimD is required to assemble the most stable quaternary structure of type 1 pili.
