Abstract
Cell-cell communication is essential to many key biological processes. Intercellular communication is generally mediated by ligand-receptor interactions (LRIs). Thus, building a comprehensive and high-quality LRI resource can significantly improve intercellular communication analysis. Meantime, due to lack of a "gold standard" dataset, it remains a challenge to evaluate LRI-mediated intercellular communication results. Here, we introduce CellGiQ, a high-confident LRI prediction framework for intercellular communication analysis. Highly confident LRIs are first inferred by LRI feature extraction with BioTriangle, LRI selection using LightGBM, and LRI classification based on ensemble of gradient boosted neural network and interpretable boosting machine. Subsequently, known and identified high-confident LRIs are filtered by combining single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data and further applied to intercellular communication inference through a quartile scoring strategy. To validation the predictions, CellGiQ exploited several evaluation strategies: using AUC and AUPR, it surpassed six competing LRI prediction models on four LRI datasets; through Venn diagrams and molecular docking, its predicted LRIs were validated by five other popular intercellular communication inference methods; based on the overlapping LRIs, it computed high Jaccard index with six other state-of-the-art intercellular communication prediction tools within human HNSCC tissues; by comparing with classical models and literature retrieve, its inferred HNSCC-related intercellular communication results was further validated. The novelty of this study is to identify high-confident LRIs based on machine learning as well as design several LRI validation ways, providing reference for computational LRI prediction. CellGiQ provides an open-source and useful tool to decompose LRI-mediated intercellular communication at single cell resolution. CellGiQ is freely available at https://github.com/plhhnu/CellGiQ.

Abstract
The plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells is composed of a large number of lipid species that are laterally segregated into functional domains as well as asymmetrically distributed between the outer and inner leaflets. Additionally, the spatial distribution and organization of these lipids dramatically change in response to various cellular states, such as cell division, differentiation, and apoptosis. Division of one cell into two daughter cells is one of the most fundamental requirements for the sustenance of growth in all living organisms. The successful completion of cytokinesis, the final stage of cell division, is critically dependent on the spatial distribution and organization of specific lipids. In this review, we discuss the properties of various lipid species associated with cytokinesis and the mechanisms involved in their polarization, including forward trafficking, endocytic recycling, local synthesis, and cortical flow models. The differences in lipid species requirements and distribution in mitotic vs. male meiotic cells will be discussed. We will concentrate on sphingolipids and phosphatidylinositols because their transbilayer organization and movement may be linked via the cytoskeleton and thus critically regulate various steps of cytokinesis.

Abstract
AbstractMutations in the adaptor protein PSTPIP1 cause a spectrum of autoinflammatory diseases, including PAPA and PAMI; however, the mechanism underlying these diseases remains unknown. Most of these mutations lie in PSTPIP1 F-BAR domain, which binds to LYP, a protein tyrosine phosphatase associated with arthritis and lupus. To shed light on the mechanism by which these mutations generate autoinflammatory disorders, we solved the structure of the F-BAR domain of PSTPIP1 alone and bound to the C-terminal homology segment of LYP, revealing a novel mechanism of recognition of Pro-rich motifs by proteins in which a single LYP molecule binds to the PSTPIP1 F-BAR dimer. The residues R228, D246, E250, and E257 of PSTPIP1 that are mutated in immunological diseases directly interact with LYP. These findings link the disruption of the PSTPIP1/LYP interaction to these diseases, and support a critical role for LYP phosphatase in their pathogenesis.

Abstract
The F-BAR protein Cdc15 mediates attachment of the cytokinetic ring (CR) to the plasma membrane and is essential for cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. While its N-terminal F-BAR domain is responsible for oligomerization and membrane binding, its C-terminal SH3 domain binds other partners at a distance from the membrane. We previously demonstrated that the essential cytokinetic formin Cdc12, through an N-terminal motif, directly binds the cytosolic face of the F-BAR domain. Here, we show that paxillin-like Pxl1, which is important for CR stability, contains a motif highly related to that in formin Cdc12, and also binds the Cdc15 F-BAR domain directly. Interestingly, Pxl1 has a second site for binding the Cdc15 SH3 domain. To understand the importance of these two Pxl1-Cdc15 interactions, we mapped and disrupted both. Disrupting the Pxl1-Cdc15 F-BAR domain interaction reduced Pxl1 levels in the CR, whereas disrupting Pxl1’s interaction with the Cdc15 SH3 domain, did not. Unexpectedly, abolishing Pxl1-Cdc15 interaction greatly reduced but did not eliminate CR Pxl1 and did not significantly affect cytokinesis. These data point to another mechanism of Pxl1 CR recruitment and show that very little CR Pxl1 is sufficient for its cytokinetic function.

The state of F-BAR domains as membrane-bound oligomeric platforms. Trends Cell Biol 2021; 31:644-655.

Abstract
Fes/Cip4 homology Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (F-BAR) domains, like all BAR domains, are dimeric units that oligomerize and bind membranes. F-BAR domains are generally coupled to additional domains that function in protein binding or have enzymatic activity. Because of their crescent shape and ability to oligomerize, F-BAR domains have been traditionally viewed as membrane-deformation modules. However, multiple independent studies have provided no evidence that certain F-BAR domains are able to tubulate membrane. Instead, a growing body of literature featuring structural, biochemical, biophysical, and microscopy-based studies supports the idea that the F-BAR domain family can be unified only by their ability to form oligomeric assemblies on membranes to provide platforms for molecular assembly.

Opposite Surfaces of the Cdc15 F-BAR Domain Create a Membrane Platform That Coordinates Cytoskeletal and Signaling Components for Cytokinesis. Cell Rep 2020; 33:108526.

Abstract
Many eukaryotes assemble an actin- and myosin-based cytokinetic ring (CR) on the plasma membrane (PM) for cell division, but how it is anchored there remains unclear. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the F-BAR protein Cdc15 links the PM via its F-BAR domain to proteins in the CR’s interior via its SH3 domain. However, Cdc15’s F-BAR domain also directly binds formin Cdc12, suggesting that Cdc15 may polymerize a protein network directly adjacent to the membrane. Here, we determine that the F-BAR domain binds Cdc12 using residues on the face opposite its membrane-binding surface. These residues also bind paxillin-like Pxl1, promoting its recruitment with calcineurin to the CR. Mutation of these F-BAR domain residues results in a shallower CR, with components localizing ~35% closer to the PM than in wild type, and aberrant CR constriction. Thus, F-BAR domains serve as oligomeric membrane-bound platforms that can modulate the architecture of an entire actin structure. Multiple F-BAR domains link actin structures to membrane. Snider et al. show that the flat Cdc15 F-BAR domain utilizes opposite surfaces to bind the plasma membrane and cytokinetic ring proteins simultaneously. Disrupting Cdc15 F-BAR domain’s interaction with proteins results in an overall compression of the entire cytokinetic ring architecture.

Abstract
Cell-cell communications in multicellular organisms generally involve secreted ligand-receptor (LR) interactions, which is vital for various biological phenomena. Recent advancements in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) have effectively resolved cellular phenotypic heterogeneity and the cell-type composition of complex tissues, facilitating the systematic investigation of cell-cell communications at single-cell resolution. However, assessment of chemical-signal-dependent cell-cell communication through scRNA-seq relies heavily on prior knowledge of LR interaction pairs. We constructed CellTalkDB (http://tcm.zju.edu.cn/celltalkdb), a manually curated comprehensive database of LR interaction pairs in humans and mice comprising 3398 human LR pairs and 2033 mouse LR pairs, through text mining and manual verification of known protein-protein interactions using the STRING database, with literature-supported evidence for each pair. Compared with SingleCellSignalR, the largest LR-pair resource, CellTalkDB includes not only 2033 mouse LR pairs but also 377 additional human LR pairs. In conclusion, the data on human and mouse LR pairs contained in CellTalkDB could help to further the inference and understanding of the LR-interaction-based cell-cell communications, which might provide new insights into the mechanism underlying biological processes.

Abstract
During cytokinesis, animal and fungal cells form a membrane furrow via actomyosin ring constriction. Our understanding of actomyosin ring-driven cytokinesis stems extensively from the fission yeast model system. However, unlike animal cells, actomyosin ring constriction occurs simultaneously with septum formation in fungi. While the formation of an actomyosin ring is essential for cytokinesis in fission yeast, proper furrow formation also requires septum deposition. The molecular mechanisms of spatiotemporal coordination of septum deposition with actomyosin ring constriction are poorly understood. Although the role of the actomyosin ring as a mechanical structure driving furrow formation is better understood, its role as a spatiotemporal landmark for septum deposition is not widely discussed. Here we review and discuss the recent advances describing how the actomyosin ring spatiotemporally regulates membrane traffic to promote septum-driven cytokinesis in fission yeast. Finally, we explore emerging questions in cytokinesis, and discuss the role of extracellular matrix during cytokinesis in other organisms.

Abstract
Successful separation of two daughter cells (i.e., cytokinesis) is essential for life. Many eukaryotic cells divide using a contractile apparatus called the cytokinetic ring (CR) that associates dynamically with the plasma membrane (PM) and generates force that contributes to PM ingression between daughter cells. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, important membrane-CR scaffolds include the paralogous F-BAR proteins Cdc15 and Imp2. Their conserved protein structure consists of the archetypal F-BAR domain linked to an SH3 domain by an intrinsically disordered region (IDR). Functions have been assigned to the F-BAR and SH3 domains. In this study we probed the function of the central IDR. We found that the IDR of Cdc15 is essential for viability and cannot be replaced by that of Imp2, whereas the F-BAR domain of Cdc15 can be swapped with several different F-BAR domains, including that of Imp2. Deleting part of the IDR results in CR defects and abolishes calcineurin phosphatase localization to the CR. Together these results indicate that Cdc15's IDR has a nonredundant essential function that coordinates regulation of CR architecture.
