It remains, therefore, unknown whether and how spindle assembly and chromosome segregation are influenced by tissue properties. We have investigated this question in the mammalian embryonic brain, using high-resolution microscopy combined with pharmacological perturbations and minimal cell systems to break down the contribution of tissue environment to mitotic fidelity. We found that cell density imposes biomechanical constraints upon the apical radial glial (aRG) cell population during their highly proliferative period, which enhances spindle pole microtubule polymerization rates and potentiates chromosome mis-segregation. Mechanistically, we show that cortical tension relying on branched actin organization at the cell cortex conveys mechanical stress exerted by cell density. We identified the microtubule depolymerase MCAK/Kif2C as a critical effector downstream of cortical actin, linking actin dynamics to spindle pole activity. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that aRG are mechanosensitive during their expansion phase, and that excessive biomechanical stress, imposed by high cell density in developing tissues, can disrupt mitotic fidelity.","PeriodicalId":501009,"journal":{"name":"The EMBO Journal","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148416616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, NSCLC resistance to third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is a major clinical challenge and remains mechanistically unresolved. Here, we uncover a previously unrecognized tumor cell-intrinsic mechanism in which mutant EGFR (mEGFR) exploits innate immune signaling via the cGAS-STING-TBK1 pathway to sustain oncogenic signaling and therapeutic resistance. Mechanistically, mutant EGFR kinase aberrantly associates with STING signalosomes and phosphorylates STING (Y245/Y314) and TBK1 (Y577/Y677), stabilizing and hyperactivating TBK1 and establishing an unexpected kinase loop critical for DNA damage repair. Genetic or pharmacological disruption of mEGFR-STING-TBK1 coupling sensitizes resistant patient-derived NSCLC organoids to chemotherapy. Combining TBK1 inhibition with cisplatin suppressed mEGFR-driven tumors in murine models of spontaneous and immunocompetent NSCLC and in patient-derived organoids. Our findings suggest a new function of cGAS-STING in DNA damage tolerance, its paradoxical exploitation by oncogenic driver mutations, and an innate immune therapeutic vulnerability in NSCLC.","PeriodicalId":501009,"journal":{"name":"The EMBO Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148416617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we show that depletion of the cohesin release factor WAPL in ESC also promotes 2CLC reprogramming, which is increased by CTCF co-depletion. Single-cell RNA-seq/ATAC-seq analyses in CTCF/WAPL-depleted ESC revealed that chromatin accessibility precedes 2C-associated gene expression. Moreover, we identified ARID3A as a transcription factor that regulates the extent of 2CLC conversion following WAPL/CTCF depletion. Although WAPL or CTCF depletion induces distinct transcriptional changes in human ESC, these do not resemble transcriptional programs of early human embryogenesis, suggesting limited evolutionary conservation. Finally, we demonstrate that 2CLC conversion mediated by alterations in chromatin organization depends on the DPPA2/DUX axis and correlates with nucleolar integrity.

While this balance is thought to rely on plasticity programs integrating molecular and activity-dependent signals, mechanistic models of how such adaptations are orchestrated remain limited. Here, we show that impairment of autophagy in the Drosophila mushroom body (MB) induces brain-wide, post-transcriptional remodeling of presynaptic active zones, characterized by increased expression levels of active zone scaffold proteins, reduced abundance of calcium channel subunits, and elevated levels of Shaker-type potassium channels. This remodeling promotes organismal resilience, as reflected by increased sleep and extended lifespan. Mechanistically, early-life activation of this program is sufficient to extend lifespan, identifying synaptic remodeling as a causal driver of adaptive responses. MB-specific autophagy disruption further leads to non-cell autonomous accumulation of autophagic substrates across the brain, consistent with a system-level proteostatic imbalance in which degradative pathways remain active, but appear insufficient to match cargo load. Our findings identify autophagy in the mushroom body as a key regulator of brain-wide synaptic architecture and resilience, and establish a genetically tractable model for how local proteostatic impairment can trigger adaptive, system-level circuit remodeling.","PeriodicalId":501009,"journal":{"name":"The EMBO Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148408389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FIPV-II infects felids using cat aminopeptidase N (cAPN) as its cell-entry receptor, but the molecular details remain unclear. Here, we resolved cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the spike (S) trimer of a representative FIPV-II strain 79-1146 (FIPV-1146), and of its complex with cAPN. The reconstructions reveal structural transitions of the S protein between the \"standing\" and \"lying\" receptor-binding domain (RBD) conformation upon complex formation with cAPN in its open conformation. Structural and mutational analyses revealed that the cAPN residues R378, D751 and R779, as well as the N748-linked glycan are essential for high-affinity RBD engagement. Cross-species analysis demonstrated narrow tropism of FIPV-1146, limited to felids and canids. Introducing the N595K and Q596R substitutions found in transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) into the FIPV-1146 RBD expands its binding capacity to APNs from pig, bovine, horse and giant panda.

The FERM domain protein Expanded (Ex) integrates polarity cues to activate the Hippo pathway. Previous work has shown that the apicobasal polarity protein Crumbs can limit Hippo activity by promoting the phosphorylation and degradation of Ex. Here, we provide evidence that serine/threonine phosphatase, protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) has a dual role in the regulation of Hippo signalling in Drosophila cell culture and wing discs. We show that PP2AWrd, the PP2A holoenzyme equipped with the Wrd regulatory subunit, counteracts the effects of Crumbs, by dephosphorylating and stabilising Ex. We demonstrate that the PP2AWrd holoenzyme can increase Hippo signalling activity, in contrast to the previously established Hippo pathway inhibitory role of the PP2ACka-containing STRIPAK complex. We find that the holocomplexes PP2AWrd and PP2ATws can both regulate Ex proteostasis. Remarkably, the upstream Hippo regulator, Kibra interacts with PP2AWrd and prevents Ex degradation. However, Kibra is unable to antagonise Crumbs-mediated Ex regulation, in agreement with the previously established role of Crumbs in inhibiting Kibra function. Overall, our work characterises a novel Hippo-activating role for PP2A in the stabilisation of Ex and provides new insights into how PP2A tightly controls Hippo activity in response to polarity stimuli.","PeriodicalId":501009,"journal":{"name":"The EMBO Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148400859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SenFlag was derived through systematic assessment of bulk and single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets across multiple senescence models. It captures a conserved transcriptional program characterized by reduced expression of proliferation-associated genes and chromatin-associated genes (HMGB1/2, HMGN2), combined with upregulation of cell-cycle inhibitors (CDKN1A/CDKN2A) and of CCND1. Additionally, SenFlag incorporates lysosomal features, including increased expression of V-ATPase subunits and cathepsins. SenFlag identifies a rare but progressively accumulating population of senescent cells across tissues in both mice and humans in vivo, with enrichment in epithelial and endothelial compartments. SenFlag-positive cells increase with age and following tissue injury, and are reduced in datasets involving senescence-targeting interventions, supporting its specificity in vivo. Together, SenFlag provides a robust and interpretable signature for identifying senescent cells in single-cell datasets and facilitates the study of senescence across physiological and pathological contexts.","PeriodicalId":501009,"journal":{"name":"The EMBO Journal","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148393348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that removal of mitochondria from lipid droplets permits higher lipolytic activity of recombinant lipases. Testing the effect of thermogenic secondary messengers and metabolites on attachment and detachment identified elevated mitochondrial matrix calcium as a potent inducer of detachment. Further, deletion of the mitochondrial sodium/calcium exchanger, NCLX, resulted in reduced attachment and increased detachment, while activation of NCLX increased attachment. We find that elevated matrix calcium causes detachment by inducing architectural transformation of peridroplet mitochondria (PDM) from their typical LD-surface-bound crescent shape into a round shape. PDE2A inhibition activates NCLX and increases PDM content in BAT in vitro and in vivo.

Despite its importance, proteomic studies of tyrosine phosphorylation have been limited in scale and throughput due to the need for specialized enrichment with costly reagents and labor-intensive protocols. To address these challenges, we developed R2HaPpY, a phosphotyrosine enrichment method that combines highly simplified phosphotyrosine superbinder reagent preparation and automated high-throughput enrichment. Our new reagent binds phosphotyrosine peptides at higher efficiency than other enrichment reagents and reduces both cost and preparation time by 20-fold. We generalized the R2HaPpY method to samples of low and high levels of phosphotyrosine. We benchmarked biological application to study EGF signaling dynamics in HeLa cells. Using only ~1 mg of input peptides, we detect and quantify 1651 unique phosphotyrosine sites. These include 878 regulated pY sites, many of which are novel or not previously annotated as EGF-responsive. Our results reveal differential temporal regulation and represent the largest phosphotyrosine dataset of cellular response to EGF stimulation to date. This streamlined, cost-effective, and sensitive method enables quantitative mapping of tyrosine phosphorylation dynamics at a scale of hundreds of samples, facilitating integration of phosphotyrosine signaling into multiomic studies across diverse biological systems and disease states.","PeriodicalId":501009,"journal":{"name":"The EMBO Journal","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148379696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
