N-glycans commonly present in the protease domains are required for calnexin-mediated protein folding and intracellular trafficking.

A 2-year field study has demonstrated that volatile compounds produced by plants when they are attacked by herbivores act as defenses by attracting predators to the herbivores and increasing the reproduction of the plants.

The novel cathelicidin cathelicidin-MH was identified from the skin of M. heymonsivogt frog, which protects against lipopolysaccharide- and cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis, effectively ameliorates multi-organ pathology, especially in lung.

Bacterial warfare protein colicin E1 opens its hinge to plug antibiotic efflux pump TolC and potentiate antibiotics.

Myristoylation of a secreted protein, identified in a global myristoylation analysis of the eukaryotic parasite Toxoplasma gondii, is important for host cell invasion.

A protein microarray based strategy has identified a bacterial enzyme that represents a new protein deacetylase family.

An actin nucleating protein, Spire1C, localizes to the mitochondrial outer membrane and interacts with the endoplasmic reticulum-anchored formin protein INF2 to drive mitochondrial fission.

Cholera intoxication of human colonic epithelial cells is dependent on recognition of protein glycosylation and fucosylation, not exclusively on ganglioside recognition as proposed previously.

A chewing herbivore induced WRKY transcription factor induces jasmonate-dependent defences and supresses gibbererellin-dependent growth, the latter of which renders rice plants more susceptible to secondary infestation by a piercing-sucking herbivore.

Single particle cryo-electron microscopy associated with functional studies reveal a critical role of N- and C-terminal tails in the autoinhibition of the disease-related ATP8B1-CDC50A lipid flippase, the possible role of phosphorylation in autoinhibition relief, and strong activation by PI(3,4,5)P₃.
