DNA-responsive checkpoints prevent cell-cycle progression following DNA damage or replication inhibition. The mitotic activator Cdc25 is suppressed by checkpoints through inhibitory phosphorylation at Ser287 (Xenopus numbering) and docking of 14-3-3. Ser287 phosphorylation is a major locus of G2/M checkpoint control, although several checkpoint-independent kinases can phosphorylate this site. We reported previously that mitotic entry requires 14-3-3 removal and Ser287 dephosphorylation. We show here that DNA-responsive checkpoints also activate PP2A/B56delta phosphatase complexes to dephosphorylate Cdc25 at a site distinct from Ser287 (T138), the phosphorylation of which is required for 14-3-3 release. However, phosphorylation of T138 is not sufficient for 14-3-3 release from Cdc25. Our data suggest that creation of a 14-3-3 "sink," consisting of phosphorylated 14-3-3 binding intermediate filament proteins, including keratins, coupled with reduced Cdc25-14-3-3 affinity, contribute to Cdc25 activation. These observations identify PP2A/B56delta as a central checkpoint effector and suggest a mechanism for controlling 14-3-3 interactions to promote mitosis.

Aggregation of alpha-synuclein (αsyn) plays an integral role in Parkinson's disease (PD) and Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). 14-3-3θ is a highly expressed brain protein with chaperone-like activity that regulates αsyn folding. 14-3-3θ overexpression reduces αsyn aggregation, transmission between cells, and neuronal loss, while 14-3-3 inhibition promotes αsyn pathology.

Actin and microtubules are essential cytoskeletal components and coordinate their dynamics through multiple coupling and decoupling mechanisms. However, how actin and microtubule dynamics are decoupled remains incompletely understood. Here, we identified TBC1D3C as a new regulator that can decouple actin filament assembly from microtubule disassembly.

Aim: The modified retromuscular Sugarbaker or Pauli technique is a technique for parastomal hernia repair, which requires the dissection of the retromuscular space and a transversus abdominis release for stoma lateralization and placement of a retromuscular mesh. Given the limited evidence regarding the robotic approach to this technique, this study aims to evaluate the outcomes of this newly introduced procedure, focusing on the rate of 30-day complications and recurrence rates.
Methods: Retrospective case series report.

Article Synopsis
- NLRP3 is a key sensor in the immune system that detects pathogens and triggers the release of inflammatory proteins like IL-1β and IL-18 through the NLRP3 inflammasome.
- Abnormal NLRP3 activation is linked to autoinflammatory diseases (e.g., CAPS) and common conditions like Alzheimer's and asthma.
- Recent research suggests that pyrin and possibly NLRP3 itself function as indirect sensors regulated by inhibitory proteins, and targeting these regulatory mechanisms with new inhibitors could offer new treatments for diseases tied to NLRP3.
