    MARK4 regulates NLRP3 positioning and inflammasome activation through a microtubule-dependent mechanism

    Excessive activation of the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is involved in many chronic inflammatory diseases, including cardiovascular and Alzheimer’s disease. Here we show that micr...

    Single-molecule assays reveal that RNA localization signals regulate dynein–dynactin copy number on individual transcript cargoes

    Bullock and colleagues have reconstituted in vitro the microtubule-driven transport of RNAs to specific localizations in Drosophila melanogaster embryos. They show that a set of localized messenger nucleoproteins...
