The GET Complex Mediates Insertion of Tail-Anchored Proteins into the ER Membrane

TLDR
It is shown that Get3, the yeast homolog of the TA-interacting factor Asna1/Trc40, specifically recognizes TMDs of TA proteins destined for the secretory pathway, which represents a key decision step, whose loss can lead to misinsertion ofTA proteins into mitochondria.

Comprehensive characterization of genes required for protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum

TL;DR: This strategy revealed multiple conserved factors critical for endoplasmic reticulum folding, including an intimate dependence on the later secretory pathway, a previously uncharacterized six-protein transmembrane complex, and a co-chaperone complex that delivers tail-anchored proteins to their membrane insertion machinery.

Interactions Between Nuclei and the Cytoskeleton Are Mediated by SUN-KASH Nuclear-Envelope Bridges

TL;DR: SUN and KASH proteins were identified through genetic screens for mispositioned nuclei in model organisms and have been linked to human diseases including muscular dystrophy, ataxia, progeria, lissencephaly, and cancer.

Peroxisomes take shape

TL;DR: Ongoing studies are deciphering the diverse molecular mechanisms that underlie biogenesis and how they cooperate to dynamically control peroxisome utility to lead to an understanding of peroxISome dynamics that can be capitalized upon for bioengineering and the development of therapies to improve human health.

Molecular mechanisms and physiological functions of mitophagy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the current molecular understanding of mitophagy, and its physiological implications, and discuss how multiple mitophathy pathways coordinately modulate mitochondrial fitness and populations.

Principles of ER cotranslational translocation revealed by proximity-specific ribosome profiling

TL;DR: A flexible deep sequencing–based methodology that enables precise characterization of localized protein synthesis in intact cells and suggests a role for polysomes in retaining mRNAs at the ER, allowing for efficient targeting of RNCs for translocation is applied.

Additional modules for versatile and economical PCR-based gene deletion and modification in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: A new set of plasmids that serve as templates for the PCR synthesis of fragments that allow a variety of gene modifications that should further facilitate the rapid analysis of gene function in S. cerevisiae.

TL;DR: It is shown that previously known and new genes are necessary for optimal growth under six well-studied conditions: high salt, sorbitol, galactose, pH 8, minimal medium and nystatin treatment, and less than 7% of genes that exhibit a significant increase in messenger RNA expression are also required for optimal Growth in four of the tested conditions.

Global analysis of protein localization in budding yeast

TL;DR: The construction and analysis of a collection of yeast strains expressing full-length, chromosomally tagged green fluorescent protein fusion proteins helps reveal the logic of transcriptional co-regulation, and provides a comprehensive view of interactions within and between organelles in eukaryotic cells.

Genomic Libraries and a Host Strain Designed for Highly Efficient Two-Hybrid Selection in Yeast

TL;DR: A novel multienzyme approach was used to generate a set of highly representative genomic libraries from S. cerevisiae and a unique host strain was created that contains three easily assayed reporter genes, each under the control of a different inducible promoter.
