- The Scaffold Protein Prohibitin Is Required for Antigen-Stimulated Signaling in Mast Cells
Targeting a scaffold protein delivered by intracellular granules in mast cells may inhibit allergic responses.
- Ajuba Family Proteins Link JNK to Hippo Signaling
An evolutionarily conserved family of proteins links pathways to promote cell proliferation in response to cell death or injury.
Perspective
- A Role for Prohibitin in Mast Cell Activation: Location Matters
The protein prohibitin mediates receptor-proximal events to stimulate antigen-dependent degranulation of mast cells.
Podcast
- Science Signaling Podcast: 10 September 2013
An adaptor protein promotes nuclear accumulation of the transcriptional coactivator Yorkie in response to JNK signaling.
Editors' Choice
- Painful Subversion of the Host Defense
Bacteria have two mechanisms for directly activating pain-sensing (nociceptive) neurons.
- Always at Your Beclin Call
Beclin 2 coordinates autophagy and degradation of G protein–coupled receptors.
- Resetting a Lagging Body Clock
Inhibiting a kinase activated in response to light may accelerate the body’s adjustment to circadian rhythm disruptions.
- PTTH Induces Photophobia
