    Mitochondrial protein carboxyl-terminal alanine-threonine tailing promotes human glioblastoma growth by regulating mitochondrial function

    Bei Zhang, Ting Cai ... Zhihao Wu
    The carboxyl-terminal alanine-threonine-tailed protein ATP5α helps glioblastoma mitochondria maintain a high membrane potential and keep the permeability transition pore closed, thereby promoting tumor growth and increasing resistance to apoptosis.

    Feeding rates in sessile versus motile ciliates are hydrodynamically equivalent

    Jingyi Liu, Yi Man ... Eva Kanso
    Fluid flow analysis reveals that both swimming and sessile ciliates achieve competitive nutrient uptake, resolving the long-standing debate over the hydrodynamic advantage of either strategy.

    Allosteric effects of the coupling cation in melibiose transporter MelB

    Parameswaran Hariharan, Yuqi Shi ... Lan Guan
    Intrinsic conformational flexibility of a solute transporter is restrained by substrates, resulting in Na+ allosterically enhancing primary substrate binding through cooperative constraints on the dynamics of the cytoplasmic inner barrier.

    Executive resources shape the impact of language predictability across the adult lifespan

    Merle Marie Schuckart, Sandra Martin ... Jonas Obleser
    Analyses of self-paced reading times reveal that linguistic prediction deteriorates under limited executive resources, with this resource sensitivity becoming markedly more pronounced with advancing age.

    Cryo-EM structure revealed a novel F-actin binding motif in a Legionella pneumophila lysine fatty acyltransferase

    Wenjie W Zeng, Garrison Komaniecki ... Yuxin Mao
    A novel F-actin-binding motif consisting of an α-helix hairpin from a Legionella pneumophila lysine fatty acyltransferase has the potential to be developed as an F-actin probe.
