    How interesting! A peptide screen to identify degrons with E3 ubiquitin ligase specificity in yeast followed by extraction of conserved properties identifies transmembrane domain containing peptides as likely degrons.

    Recognizing the utility of not using <strong>exclusively</strong> cutting edge methods for everything, this important study combines bulk RNAseq (high sensitivity due to capturing more low expression and noncoding RNAs) and single cell RNAseq (high specificity) for a more comprehensive transcriptomic picture.

    This is wild! Chlamydomonas flagella were isolated, demembranated, attached to polystyrene beads and reactivated to reconstitute flagellar movement. This yields some interesting insights through experimentation and simulation: Increased calcium concentration affects flagellar waveform and trajectory of bead movement and surprisingly, larger beads have increased rather than decreased velocity.

    This is a beautiful characterization of caveolae. In addition to platinum replica EM of these plasma membrane invaginations in various cell types, this work includes molecular identification of proteins associated with caveolae of different curvatures by STED-CLEM (very high-resolution correlative light electron microscopy).
