    ESCRT-III activation by parallel action of ESCRT-I/II and ESCRT-0/Bro1 during MVB biogenesis

    Shaogeng Tang, Nicholas J Buchkovich ... Scott D Emr
    Building on previous work (Tang et al., 2015), novel ESCRT-III subunit Snf7 auto-activation mutants are used to reveal two parallel ubiquitin-dependent pathways during multivesicular endosome biogenesis.

    An empirical energy landscape reveals mechanism of proteasome in polypeptide translocation

    Rui Fang, Jason Hon ... Ying Lu
    Empirical energy landscape allows simulating the structural dynamics of the proteasomal ATPase complex, which yields predictions that are widely consistent with experimental observations and reveals the functional mechanism of the proteasome in substrate degradation.

    ESCRT-III drives the final stages of CUPS maturation for unconventional protein secretion

    Amy J Curwin, Nathalie Brouwers ... Vivek Malhotra
    The release of Acb1 protein from yeast cells requires the ESCRT-III complex to stabilize the compartment for unconventional protein secretion (CUPS).

    Topoisomerase VI senses and exploits both DNA crossings and bends to facilitate strand passage

    Timothy J Wendorff, James M Berger
    The engagement of DNA crossings is shown to license ATP hydrolysis and DNA cleavage by topoisomerase VI, a finding with mechanistic ramifications for related GHKL ATPases and meiotic recombination machineries.

    Structural basis for the disaggregase activity and regulation of Hsp104

    Alexander Heuck, Sonja Schitter-Sollner ... Tim Clausen
    Protein disaggregases employ two mechanically-linked ATPase rings that are under steric control by a wrapped-around coiled-coil belt.

    The molecular coupling between substrate recognition and ATP turnover in a AAA+ hexameric helicase loader

    Neha Puri, Amy J Fernandez ... James M Berger
    Structure-guided biochemistry defines how the coupling between nucleic acid substrate binding and ATPase activity is used by a molecular switch to load ring-shaped motor proteins onto single-stranded DNA.

    How lamina-associated polypeptide 1 (LAP1) activates Torsin

    Brian A Sosa, F Esra Demircioglu ... Thomas U Schwartz
    LAP1 adopts an AAA+ like fold that, while unable to bind nucleotide, can enhance ATPase activity in the neighboring TorsinA protomer in an unusual heterohexameric ring, via an arginine finger.

    Regulatory coiled-coil domains promote head-to-head assemblies of AAA+ chaperones essential for tunable activity control

    Marta Carroni, Kamila B Franke ... Axel Mogk
    Head-to-head interactions of regulatory coiled-coil domains control activity of the central bacterial AAA+ protein ClpC by promoting formation of a reversible resting state.

    Viral hijacking of a replicative helicase loader and its implications for helicase loading control and phage replication

    Iris V Hood, James M Berger
    A phage-encoded protein inhibits a bacterial replicative helicase loading factor by exploiting an internal site that auto-regulates loader self-assembly and ATPase activity.

    Regulation of RUVBL1-RUVBL2 AAA-ATPases by the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay factor DHX34, as evidenced by Cryo-EM

    Andres López-Perrote, Nele Hug ... Oscar Llorca
    Cryo-EM reveals the regulation of RUVBL1 and RUVBL2 AAA-ATPases by DHX34, a helicase involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and suggests mechanisms for how RUVBL1 and RUVBL2 function in NMD.
