Substrate specificity: PI(3)Kbold gamma has it both ways pp773 - 774

Jonathan M. Backer

doi:10.1038/ncb0805-773

Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI(3)Ks) are mainly known for their lipid kinase activity in various cellular functions; however, PI(3)Ks also have protein kinase activity. Non-muscle tropomyosin has been identified as a novel protein target for PI(3)Kgamma. Phosphorylation of tropomyosin is required for beta-adrenergic receptor internalization, providing new insight into PI(3)K function during clathrin-mediated endocytosis.


An actin fishnet for DNA pp775 - 776

It has long been thought that gathering chromosomes during spindle assembly is exclusively the responsibility of microtubules. However, a recent study by Lénárt et al. shows that, in larger cells, a collapsing network of actin filaments ensnares and transports the chromosomes, bringing them in range for microtubule capture.


Rac and cell migration: CDM proteins integrate signals pp777 - 778

Henry R. Bourne

doi:10.1038/ncb0805-777

Cell migration requires that Rac GTPases promote formation of actin polymers at the cell's leading edge. An activator of Rac, DOCK180, accomplishes this localization by using its DHR-1 domain to bind phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate at the membrane.


Cdk1: the dominant sibling of Cdk2 pp779 - 781

Tarig Bashir & Michele Pagano

doi:10.1038/ncb0805-779

Cdk2 is thought to regulate entry into S phase, whereas Cdk1 controls the initiation of mitosis. New evidence shows that Cdk1 is equally capable of promoting the G1/S transition in Cdk2-/- cells, raising the question as to whether Cdk1 constitutes the predominant cyclin-dependent kinase in mammalian cells, or only compensates for Cdk2 function when it is compromised.
