Recent work with bacteria and eukaryotes has shown that GTPases play important roles in ribosome assembly. Here we show that the essential GTPase YqeH is required for proper 70S ribosome formation and 30S subunit assembly/stability in Bacillus subtilis.

Nexinhib20 inhibits JFC1-mediated mobilization of a subset of CD11b/CD18+ vesicles decreasing integrin avidity, but does not inhibit Rac1.

Regulated sequential exocytosis of neutrophil granules is essential in orchestrating the innate immune response, while uncontrolled secretion causes inflammation. We developed and characterized Nexinhib20, a small-molecule inhibitor that targets azurophilic granule exocytosis in neutrophils by blocking the interaction between the small GTPase Rab27a and its effector JFC1. Its therapeutic potential has been demonstrated in several pre-clinical models of inflammatory disease.

The actin-based motor myosin-19 (Myo19) exerts force on mitochondrial membrane receptors Miro1/2, influencing endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria contact sites and mitochondrial cristae structure. The Mitochondrial Intermembrane Bridging (MIB) complex connects the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes at the cristae junction through the MICOS system. However, the interaction between Myo19, Miro1/2, and the MIB/MICOS complex in cristae regulation remains unclear.

Outer dynein arms (ODAs) are essential for ciliary motility and are preassembled in the cytoplasm before trafficking into cilia by intraflagellar transport (IFT). ODA16 is a key adaptor protein that links ODAs to the IFT machinery via a direct interaction with the IFT46 protein. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating the assembly, transport, and release of ODAs remain poorly understood.

Metabolic reprogramming, the shifting from fatty acid oxidation to glucose utilization, improves cardiac function as heart failure (HF) progresses. Leptin plays an essential role in regulating glucose metabolism. However, the crosstalk between leptin and metabolic reprogramming is poorly understood.

The trophectoderm (TE) is the first tissue to differentiate during the preimplantation development of the mammalian embryo. It forms the outer layer of the blastocyst and is responsible for generating the blastocoel, a fluid-filled cavity whose expansion is essential for successful hatching and implantation. Here, we investigated the role of the small GTPase RHOA in the morphogenesis of the TE, particularly its relationship with HIPPO signaling, using mouse embryos as a model.
