In the July 27th edition of biobytes, Primal de Lanerolle (University of Illinois Medical School, Chicago, IL) explains how SUMOylation guides actin into the nucleus (Hofmann et al., JCB - 00:45); Victor Nizet (UC San Diego, CA) discovers that Streptococcus bacteria use a cell wall protein to evade engulfment by host immune cells (Carlin et al., JEM - 07:40); and Jonathan Cooper (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA) reveals that an endocytic adaptor protein recycles integrins to the leading edge to promote cell migration (Teckchandani et al., JCB - 14:35). Plus a round-up of other highlights from the JCB (05:35) and JEM (14:35). The show was written and produced by Eun Choi, Amy Maxmen, and Ben Short. Presented by Ben Short.
