While the oncogenic mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway drives frameshifting, whether substitutants are genetically regulated remains unknown. Here we screened for genes that control W > F substitutants following interferon-γ-mediated tryptophan shortage. This screen identified ADAR1, an enzyme that converts adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA molecules, and FTSJ1, an enzyme that 2′-O-methylates the anticodon region of several tRNAs. We demonstrate that ADAR1 sustains expression of key players in the ribosome quality control pathway, which in turn is essential for mistranslation events. FTSJ1, in contrast, specifically drives W > F mistranslation by methylation of tRNATrp to promote its binding to WARS1 loaded with phenylalanine instead of tryptophan. As ADAR1 and FTSJ1 levels are elevated in many cancer types, we propose that cancer cells deploy global and specific mechanisms to promote mistranslation in response to anti-tumour immunity.","PeriodicalId":18977,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cell Biology","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":21.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149087632","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}

While the recruitment of cargo proteins to clathrin-coated pits is well understood, it remains an open question whether lipids are also sorted by this process. Here, to address this question, we combined super-resolution stimulated emission depletion imaging of bifunctional lipid probes with mathematical modelling. Quantification of ten different lipid species revealed significant differences in pit partitioning, ranging from slight enrichment to moderate exclusion. We find that the lipid asymmetry in the plasma membrane is sufficient to explain the observed trend. Taken together, our findings imply that clathrin-mediated endocytosis has a minor selectivity for cytoplasmic leaflet lipids, but overall does not substantially contribute to lipid sorting compared with non-vesicular trafficking. Lennartz et al. evaluate lipid enrichment in clathrin-coated pits and observe that the differential lipid partitioning into clathrin-coated pits is largely driven by the lipid asymmetry of the plasma membrane.","PeriodicalId":18977,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cell Biology","volume":"28 10","pages":"2027-2035"},"PeriodicalIF":22.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41556-026-02068-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149081472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The arachnoid is hypothesized to give rise to the most common primary intracranial tumours, meningiomas. However, supporting molecular evidence is lacking. There are no effective medical therapies to treat meningiomas that are resistant to local interventions, encumbered by our limited understanding of their cellular origin. Here, to advance our understanding of meningioma biology, we generated a comprehensive reference single-cell and spatial transcriptomic atlas of human fetal meninges at postconceptional weeks 5–13. We found that the meningeal layers develop concurrently, and identified an inner CDH1-positive dura layer expressing tight-junction genes consistent with barrier function. Comparing meningiomas with fetal meninges, we show that, transcriptionally, meningioma cells resemble dura-lineage cells, and that common meningioma driver genes were expressed in the dura lineage. This raises the hypothesis that meningiomas could originate from dura-lineage cells. Vinsland et al. provide a single-cell and spatial transcriptomics atlas of postconceptional week 5–13 human meninges and perform comparative studies with meningioma data.","PeriodicalId":18977,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cell Biology","volume":"28 10","pages":"2155-2168"},"PeriodicalIF":22.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41556-026-02074-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149075529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This taxane-induced release of GEF-H1 occurs rapidly, is independent of tubulin post-translational modifications, and can be recapitulated using purified proteins. In vitro reconstitution assays combined with analyses of microtubule structure revealed that microtubule binding by GEF-H1 is inhibited by microtubule-stabilizing ligands that expand the microtubule lattice, such as taxanes and GMPCPP, but not by others, including GTPγS and discodermolide, which stabilize a compacted microtubule lattice.

Integrating such multimodal data is critical for decoding cellular and tissue-level complexity. However, compared with single-modality profiling, multimodal data often exhibit higher levels of noise, and existing methods typically overlook this challenge during integration. Meanwhile, most current approaches are tailored to either single-cell or spatial data, limiting their applicability across data types. Here we present DePass, a scalable graph learning framework for paired data integration in both single-cell and spatial multi-omics. We propose a coupled enhancement-integration architecture that iteratively denoises data and improves integrated embeddings. We systematically benchmarked DePass across 6 modalities, 9 tissue types and 13 experimental platforms, demonstrating superior integration accuracy. In the in-house colorectal cancer data, DePass further uncovered immune niche substructure and spatial tumour heterogeneity at near single-cell resolution. These results establish DePass as a unified and generalizable solution for multi-omics integration across diverse biological contexts. Li, Jiang and colleagues present DePass, a graph-based deep learning framework for integrating paired multi-omics data in spatial and single-cell contexts. A dual-enhancement approach is used to remove noise from raw omics data using neighbourhood aggregation.","PeriodicalId":18977,"journal":{"name":"Nature Cell Biology","volume":"28 10","pages":"2179-2192"},"PeriodicalIF":22.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149040025","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}
