The transcellular railway: insights into leukocyte diapedesis pp105 - 107

Elisabetta Dejana

Leukocyte recruitment from blood to areas of infection is a key step in both innate and adaptive immunological responses. The predominant model has been that leukocytes transmigrate through the junctions between adjacent endothelial cells. However, leukocytes can also migrate through the endothelial cells, and new insights suggest that both caveolae and intermediate filaments are important for this.

V-ATPase: a potential pH sensor pp107 - 109

Chiara Recchi & Philippe Chavrier

doi:10.1038/ncb0206-107

An interaction between V-ATPase, a multi-subunit complex responsible for endosome acidification, and ARNO, the GDP/GTP exchange factor for ARF1 and ARF6, indicates that V-ATPase is the long-sought pH-sensor that regulates trafficking in the endocytic pathway.

INCENP at the kinase crossroads pp110 - 111

Mar Carmena & William C. Earnshaw

doi:10.1038/ncb0206-110

INCENP — the targeting and activating subunit of Aurora B kinase— has several key mitotic functions. Now, INCENP emerges as a nodal point of the network of kinases that regulate mitotic events. Phosphorylation of INCENP by CDK1 is required for the kinetochore localization of Plk1 kinase, and this in turn is necessary for a timely metaphase–anaphase transition.
