Determination of bacterial rod shape by a novel cytoskeletal membrane
protein
Here, Hironori and coworkers identify RodZ as a novel cell
shape-determining protein in E. coli. Surprisingly in light of its
primary sequence and membrane protein topology, RodZ forms
cytoskeletal spirals similar to the bacterial actin homolog MreB, and
exhibits a similar loss-of-function phenotype with loss of bacterial
rod shape.

Gq-coupled receptors as mechanosensors mediating myogenic
vasoconstriction
The mechanisms linking mechanical stress to ion channel activation are
not well understood. Gudermann and colleagues now report that GPCRs,
and not TRP ion channels, are the primary mechanosensors in vascular
smooth muscle, mediating activation of TRPC channels via intracellular
signalling.
