Abstract
Long ignored as a vestigial remnant of cytokinesis, the mammalian midbody (MB) is released post-abscission inside large extracellular vesicles called MB remnants (MBRs). Recent evidence suggests that MBRs can modulate cell proliferation and cell fate decisions. Here, we demonstrate that the MB matrix is the site of ribonucleoprotein assembly and is enriched in mRNAs that encode proteins involved in cell fate, oncogenesis, and pluripotency, which we are calling the MB granule. Both MBs and post-abscission MBRs are sites of spatiotemporally regulated translation, which is initiated when nascent daughter cells re-enter G1 and continues after extracellular release. MKLP1 and ARC are necessary for the localization and translation of RNA in the MB dark zone, whereas ESCRT-III is necessary to maintain translation levels in the MB. Our work reveals a unique translation event that occurs during abscission and within a large extracellular vesicle.

Conserved role for Ataxin-2 in mediating endoplasmic reticulum dynamics. Traffic 2019; 20:436-447.

Abstract
Ataxin-2, a conserved RNA-binding protein, is implicated in the late-onset neurodegenerative disease Spinocerebellar ataxia type-2 (SCA2). SCA2 is characterized by shrunken dendritic arbors and torpedo-like axons within the Purkinje neurons of the cerebellum. Torpedo-like axons have been described to contain displaced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the periphery of the cell; however, the role of Ataxin-2 in mediating ER function in SCA2 is unclear. We utilized the Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila homologs of Ataxin-2 (ATX-2 and DAtx2, respectively) to determine the role of Ataxin-2 in ER function and dynamics in embryos and neurons. Loss of ATX-2 and DAtx2 resulted in collapse of the ER in dividing embryonic cells and germline, and ultrastructure analysis revealed unique spherical stacks of ER in mature oocytes and fragmented and truncated ER tubules in the embryo. ATX-2 and DAtx2 reside in puncta adjacent to the ER in both C. elegans and Drosophila embryos. Lastly, depletion of DAtx2 in cultured Drosophila neurons recapitulated the shrunken dendritic arbor phenotype of SCA2. ER morphology and dynamics were severely disrupted in these neurons. Taken together, we provide evidence that Ataxin-2 plays an evolutionary conserved role in ER dynamics and morphology in C. elegans and Drosophila embryos during development and in fly neurons, suggesting a possible SCA2 disease mechanism.

Abstract
A key aspect of development in all metazoans is remodeling at the cellular level. During the development of gametes, remodeling occurs throughout the germ line. When Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites become depleted of sperm after 4 days of adulthood, significant cellular remodeling occurs within the meiotically-arrested oocytes, including the formation of ribonucleoprotein granules. Since major remodeling of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) occurs in early embryos, we investigated the extent of ER remodeling in meiotically-arrested oocytes. We found, using a combination of fluorescence reporters and transmission electron microscopy, that the ER in arrested oocytes accumulates in patches and sheets that are enriched at the cortex. Our findings suggest this remodeling is not due to simple displacement by large amounts of yolk that accumulate in arrested oocytes, and instead may be genetically regulated. We further identified the Ddx6 RNA helicase, CGH-1, as a key regulator of ER in the germ line. In cgh-1(tn691) oocytes, we detected cortical ER patches as well as aberrant granules of the RNA-binding proteins, PAB-1, MEX-3, and CGH-1. Taken together, our results suggest the possibility that the spatial organization of RNA binding proteins may regulate the translation of mRNAs associated with the ER that in turn, controls the organization of the ER in the adult germ line.

Abstract
Membrane-bound receptors, which are crucial for mediating several key developmental signals, are synthesized on endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The functional integrity of ER must therefore be important for the regulation of at least some developmental programs. However, the developmental control of ER function is not well understood. Here, we identify the C. elegans protein FARL-11, an ortholog of the mammalian STRIPAK complex component STRIP1/2 (FAM40A/B), as an ER protein. In the C. elegans embryo, we find that FARL-11 is essential for the cell cycle-dependent morphological changes of ER and for embryonic viability. In the germline, FARL-11 is required for normal ER morphology and for membrane localization of the GLP-1/Notch receptor involved in germline stem cell (GSC) maintenance. Furthermore, we provide evidence that PUF-8, a key translational regulator in the germline, promotes the translation of farl-11 mRNA. These findings reveal that ER form and function in the C. elegans germline are post-transcriptionally regulated and essential for the niche-GSC signaling mediated by GLP-1.

Abstract
In this study, we selected 181 nematode glycogenes that are orthologous to human glycogenes and examined their RNAi phenotypes. The results are deposited in the Caenorhabditis elegans Glycogene Database (CGGDB) at AIST, Tsukuba, Japan. The most prominent RNAi phenotypes observed are disruptions of cell cycle progression in germline mitosis/meiosis and in early embryonic cell mitosis. Along with the previously reported roles of chondroitin proteoglycans, glycosphingolipids and GPI-anchored proteins in cell cycle progression, we show for the first time that the inhibition of the functions of N-glycan synthesis genes (cytoplasmic alg genes) resulted in abnormal germline formation, ER stress and small body size phenotypes. The results provide additional information on the roles of glycoconjugates in the cell cycle progression mechanisms of germline and embryonic cells.
