On the cover
A breast cancer cell expressing the collagen receptor DDR1 (red) and constitutively-active Cdc42 (green) forms linear invadosomes, extracellular matrix-degrading structures that contain F-actin (blue). Juin et al. reveal that DDR1 induces the formation of linear invadosomes by activating Cdc42 through the guanine nucleotide exchange factor Tuba.

Reduced synaptic vesicle protein degradation at lysosomes curbs TBC1D24/sky-induced neurodegeneration
Efficient lysosome-mediated turnover of synaptic vesicle-associated proteins is necessary for synaptic transmission and protection from neurodegeneration in Drosophila.
Article
Proteomic and 3D structure analyses highlight the C/D box snoRNP assembly mechanism and its control
During small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein complex assembly, a pre-snoRNP complex consisting only of protein components forms first, followed by displacement of the ZNHIT3 subunit when C/D snoRNAs bind and dynamic loading and unloading of RuvBL AAA+ ATPases.
A network of assembly factors is involved in remodeling rRNA elements during preribosome maturation
The assembly factor heterodimer Rsa4–Nsa2 binds to the preribosome and transmits remodeling energy from the force-generating ATPase Rea1 to facilitate relocation of ribosomal RNA elements during ribosome maturation.
Dynein light intermediate chains maintain spindle bipolarity by functioning in centriole cohesion
Cytoplasmic dynein light intermediate chains are required for the maintenance of centriole cohesion and the formation of a bipolar spindle in both human cells and Xenopus embryos.
Discoidin domain receptor 1 controls linear invadosome formation via a Cdc42–Tuba pathway
In tumor cells, the collagen receptor DDR1 collaborates with Cdc42 and its guanine exchange factor Tuba to promote linear invadosome formation and increase their matrix-invading activity.
STIM1- and Orai1-mediated Ca2+ oscillation orchestrates invadopodium formation and melanoma invasion
Calcium signaling mediated by STIM1 and Orai1 activates Src to promote invadopodium assembly while simultaneously promoting MT1-MMP recycling to the plasma membrane to promote ECM degradation.
MicroRNA-214 controls skin and hair follicle development by modulating the activity of the Wnt pathway
miRNA-214 regulates hair follicle development and cycling by targeting β-catenin and thereby modulating Wnt pathway transduction.
