There is growing evidence that proteolytic degradation of membrane-spanning regulatory proteins such as anti-sigma factors is involved in a variety of important transmembrane signaling processes in bacteria. This mechanism of regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) enables them to respond to extracellular signals and stresses. Here, we summarize current knowledge of RIP controlling extracytoplasmic function sigma factors.

Histocompatibility minor 13 (HM13) is a signal sequence stubbed intramembrane cleavage catalytic protein. Increasing evidence supports the association among HM13 expression, tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs), and cancer. However, its role on formation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been explored.

Background: Intermuscular bones (IBs) are segmental intramembranous ossifications located within myosepta. They share similarities with tendon ossification, a form of heterotopic ossification (HO). The mechanisms underlying IB formation remain incompletely understood.

Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is linked to secretases, which are enzymes that cleave proteins, playing a vital role in regulating key factors like amyloid precursor protein (APP) and Notch that influence both AD and cancer.
- The article details the functions, cleavage sites, and biological roles of six secretase types (α, β, γ, δ, ε, η) and highlights their similarities and differences in how they interact with APP and Notch to affect disease progression.
- It also discusses the potential of secretase inhibitors as a treatment strategy in AD and cancer, reviewing their chemical structures, current research stages, and future development prospects.
GOLPH3 and GOLPH3L maintain Golgi localization of LYSET and a functional mannose 6-phosphate transport pathway.

Institute of Biochemistry, Kiel University, Kiel, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Glycosylation is crucial for modifying lipids and sorting proteins, with its regulation involving a unique distribution of enzymes in the Golgi and the action of SPPL3.
- In cells lacking the retention factor LYSET/TMEM251, there is increased secretion of a Golgi protein, B4GALT5, due to disrupted M6P tagging, which typically marks proteins for lysosomal degradation.
- The study reveals that GOLPH3 and GOLPH3L adaptors play a critical role in stabilizing the LYSET-GNPT complex, maintaining proper Golgi function, and ensuring efficient lysosomal enzyme processing.
A multi-omic atlas of human embryonic skeletal development.

Human embryonic bone and joint formation is determined by coordinated differentiation of progenitors in the nascent skeleton. The cell states, epigenetic processes and key regulatory factors that underlie lineage commitment of these cells remain elusive. Here we applied paired transcriptional and epigenetic profiling of approximately 336,000 nucleus droplets and spatial transcriptomics to establish a multi-omic atlas of human embryonic joint and cranium development between 5 and 11 weeks after conception.
