BicD and MAP7 Activate Drosophila Kinesin-1
2026-08-18
This bioRxiv preprint shows that BicD and MAP7 activate homodimeric Drosophila kinesin-1 through complementary mechanisms: BicD relieves kinesin autoinhibition, whereas MAP7 promotes productive microtubule engagement and longer runs. The work provides a useful framework for interpreting bidirectional cargo transport and for designing reconstituted motor-protein assays.

MYC2–LBD40/42–CRL3BPM4 Fine-Tunes Tomato Defense
2026-08-18
The reference study identifies a MYC2–LBD40/42–CRL3BPM4 regulatory module that balances tomato defense against Botrytis cinerea with growth and fruit-development demands. Its central concept is a dynamic defense circuit in which LBD40 and LBD42 act as transcriptional brakes, while BPM4-dependent degradation releases MYC2-driven immunity when pathogen pressure requires it.

AO/PI Double Staining Kit: Practical Workflow
2026-08-14
The AO/PI Double Staining Kit provides a rapid fluorescent readout that separates broadly viable, apoptotic-like, and membrane-compromised cell populations in one assay. It is suitable for screening and routine cell-state comparisons, but it should not be used alone to establish apoptosis or necrosis mechanisms without orthogonal confirmation.
