What is it about movement in cells that commands our atten-tion? What biologist has not enjoyed turning a microscope on a cell, almost any cell, really, and watching all the commo-tion? When vesicles, mitochondria, chloroplasts, nuclei, or chromosomes move, we are being treated to an elegant, easily observable manifestation of molecular events. Decades of effort to understand intracellular move...

KIF16B delivers for transcytosis.

Protein sorting pathways control correct delivery of membrane proteins to specific compartments of the plasma membrane and are required to maintain the physiological functions in all epithelia. Most clathrindependent cargoes require the adaptor protein complexes AP-1A and AP-1B for proper sorting to the basolateral plasma membrane. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Perez Bay et al (2013) shed ...

Transcriptomics technologies

Transcriptomics technologies are the techniques used to study an organism's transcriptome, the sum of all of its RNA transcripts. The information content of an organism is recorded in the DNA of its genome and expressed through transcription. Here, mRNA serves as a transient intermediary molecule in the information network, whilst noncoding RNAs perform additional diverse functions. A transcrip...
