Membrane curvature induces cardiolipin sorting

Elena Beltrán-Heredia, Feng-Ching Tsai et al. examine the role of cardiolipin in membrane curvature, finding evidence compatible with a model based on membrane elasticity and van der Waals entropy. These results promote understanding of the interplay between membrane curvature and composition.

BIN1 regulates actin-membrane interactions during IRSp53-dependent filopodia formation

The N-BAR domain protein BIN1 acts as a scaffolding protein during filopodia formation in myoblast cells, together with identified co-factors.

Septins promote F-actin ring formation by crosslinking actin filaments into curved bundles

Lecuit and colleagues use Drosophila embryo cellularization as an in vivo model system, as well as in vitro reconstitution assays, to show that septin mutant embryos display defects in actin organization and that septins are able to crosslink, bundle and bend actin filaments into rings.

Membrane reshaping by micrometric curvature sensitive septin filaments

Septins are cytoskeletal filaments that localize at constriction sites and impact membrane remodeling. Here authors examine the curvature sensitivity of septins using bilayers on wavy patterns and derive a theoretical model that quantitatively describe the results.

Cytoplasmic forces functionally reorganize nuclear condensates in oocytes

Cytoskeletal activity generates mechanical forces known to agitate and displace membrane-bound organelles in the cytoplasm. In oocytes, Al Jord et al. discover that these cytoplasmic forces functionally remodel nuclear RNA-processing condensates across scales for developmental success.

Adhesion to nanofibers drives cell membrane remodeling through one-dimensional wetting

Meningococci remodel the plasma membrane of host cells during infection. Here, Charles-Orszag et al. show that plasma membrane remodeling occurs independently of F-actin, along meningococcal type IV pili fibers, by a physical mechanism that they term ‘one-dimensional’ membrane wetting.
