However, the mechanisms by which presynaptic material is locally distributed within synaptic terminals and across consuming active zones remain poorly understood. In this study, we identify the conserved unconventional class XV myosin, Myo15, an actin motor, as a novel regulator of presynaptic assembly and remodeling in Drosophila. Myo15 localizes to the local actin and microtubule network at synaptic terminals. Depletion of Myo15 resulted in smaller individual active zones, increased active zone density, and irregular terminal morphology, while its overexpression enlarged individual active zones and promoted synaptic terminal growth. Myo15 was found to modulate the actin meshwork, and deletion of its microtubule-binding MyTH4 domain rendered the protein nonfunctional. Furthermore, Myo15 was essential for presynaptic functional homeostatic plasticity and memory consolidation. These findings suggest that Myo15 plays a critical role in the assembly and remodeling of presynaptic active zones.","PeriodicalId":15211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cell Biology","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144578795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, depleting PM PtdSer abrogates KRAS PM binding and activity. From a genome-wide siRNA screen to identify genes regulating KRAS PM localization, we identified a set of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-phosphatases: myotubularin-related proteins (MTMR) 2, 3, 4, and 7.

Concomitantly, silencing MTMR 2/3/4/7 elevates PM PI3P levels while reducing PM and total PtdSer levels. We also observed MTMR 2/3/4/7 expression is interdependent.

Indeed, the products of serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT), long-chain bases, localize to the nucleus and are integral components of nuclear membranes in yeast and human cells. Importantly, inhibition of SPT fails to induce cell cycle arrest, causing nuclear membrane collapse and loss of viability in yeast cells.

We show TUBD1 stabilizes kinetochores during male mouse meiosis, enabling meiotic progression, and that it is required for appropriate spindle polarity and cytokinesis. Subsequently, in haploid cells, TUBD1 works in partnership with the microtubule-severing enzymes KATNAL2 and KATNB1 to regulate manchette remodeling and shape the sperm head.
