Using glucose or high K+ stimulation or the global uncaging of Ca2+, we show granule fusion consistently focused to the β cell-ECM interface, suggesting a specific localization mechanism. We tested for the involvement of liprin-α1, a scaffold protein enriched at the β cell-ECM interface. Liprin-α1 knockdown did not affect high K+-stimulated insulin secretion but did impair localization of exocytosis. Liprin-α1 knockdown impaired glucose-induced insulin secretion with evidence that the C-terminal of liprin-α1 positions liprin-α1 in clusters at the β cell-ECM interface. Liprin-α1 cluster size and number are regulated by glucose, and exocytosis is spatially coupled with the clusters. Immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry characterized a liprin-α1 interactome, including β2-syntrophin, an insulin granule-linked protein.

Despite their high rigidity, microtubules can be dramatically bent in cells, and it is unknown how much force a microtubule can withstand before breaking. We find that the kinesin-3 motor KIF1C forms condensates that entangle and break neighboring microtubules. Combining computational simulations and experiments, we show that microtubule breakage is an emergent property that is dependent on a highly processive kinesin motor domain, the cluster properties, cytoplasmic viscosity, and microtubule anchors. We estimate a rupture force for microtubules in cells that is lower than previous estimates based on in vitro studies with taxol-stabilized microtubules. The absence of microtubule breakage under physiological conditions suggests that mechanisms exist to protect microtubule integrity, which may inform about physical constraints on the evolution of motor proteins.

However, we show that organelle boundaries, which are important for defining MCS, are the least confident predictions made by AI. We outline a segmentation strategy termed AI-directed voxel extraction (AIVE), which refines segmentation results and boundary predictions derived from any AI-based method by combining those results with electron signal values. We demonstrate the precision conferred by AIVE by applying it to the quantitative analysis of organelle interactomes from multiple FIB-SEM datasets.

FBXO21 recruits SKP1, CUL1, and RBX1 to form an SCFFBXO21 complex, which promotes NMNAT2 ubiquitination in vivo and in vitro.

The ubiquitination-deficient NMNAT2-K155R exhibits substantially reduced protein turnover and enhanced axon-protective capacity. Finally, in Fbxo21 knockout mice, NMNAT2 levels are markedly increased and the survival of injured sciatic nerves is significantly prolonged.
