    The golden mimicry complex uses a wide spectrum of defence to deter a community of predators

    Stano Pekár, Lenka Petráková ... Marie E Herberstein
    A mimetic complex composed of at least 140 species of ants, wasps, spiders, true bugs and treehoppers, all with conspicuous golden bodies, has been discovered.

    Bim escapes displacement by BH3-mimetic anti-cancer drugs by double-bolt locking both Bcl-XL and Bcl-2

    Qian Liu, Elizabeth J Osterlund ... David William Andrews
    The pro-apoptotic BH3-protein Bim contains two distinct binding sites for anti-apoptotic proteins that together confer resistance of Bim/Bcl-2 and Bim/Bcl-XL complexes to BH3-mimetic drugs under development for use in humans.

    Crystal structures of virus-like photosystem I complexes from the mesophilic cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803

    Yuval Mazor, Daniel Nataf ... Nathan Nelson
    The structure of the photosystem I (PSI) complex from Synechocystis is determined, and reaction center subunits engineered to resemble a viral PSI are found to promote promiscuous electron acceptor properties.

    Profiling the Escherichia coli membrane protein interactome captured in Peptidisc libraries

    Michael Luke Carlson, R Greg Stacey ... Franck Duong Van Hoa
    Trapping of the cell envelope proteome into water-soluble peptidisc library allows high-throughput definition of the membrane protein interactome.

    Stress-induced Cdk5 activity enhances cytoprotective basal autophagy in Drosophila melanogaster by phosphorylating acinus at serine437

    Nilay Nandi, Lauren K Tyra ... Helmut Krämer
    Cdk5-mediated stabilization of Acinus in postmitotic neurons promotes autophagy and the removal of protein aggregates linked to neurodegeneration in Drosophila melanogaster.

    New approach for membrane protein reconstitution into peptidiscs and basis for their adaptability to different proteins

    Gabriella Angiulli, Harveer Singh Dhupar ... Thomas Walz
    Cryo-EM structures reveal how the peptidisc scaffold can adapt to different membrane proteins, establishing it as a universal membrane mimetic to stabilize membrane proteins in solution.

    Scaffold-mediated gating of Cdc42 signalling flux

    Péter Rapali, Romain Mitteau ... Derek McCusker
    The scaffold Bem1 increases the rate of GEF-mediated Cdc42 activation, while also increasing the rate and extent of GEF phosphorylation by PAK, which attenuates further scaffold stimulation.

    Computationally designed high specificity inhibitors delineate the roles of BCL2 family proteins in cancer

    Stephanie Berger, Erik Procko ... David Baker
    Six computationally designed and in vitro optimized protein inhibitors serve as molecular probes to reveal BCL2 profiles of different human cancers.

    Src activates retrograde membrane traffic through phosphorylation of GBF1

    Joanne Chia, Shyi-Chyi Wang ... Frederic A Bard
    Src phosphorylates GBF1, promoting binding of the Sec7 domain to Arf1 and the formation of GALNTs containing tubules emanating from the Golgi.

    A mechanism for exocytotic arrest by the Complexin C-terminus

    Mazen Makke, Maria Mantero Martinez ... Dieter Bruns
    The far C-terminal domain of CpxII interferes with SNARE assembly and thereby arrests tonic exocytosis.
