    A human-based multi-gene signature enables quantitative drug repurposing for metabolic disease

    James A Timmons, Andrew Anighoro ... Stuart M Phillips
    Optimising the use of transcriptomics enables screening of thousands of compounds and illustrates an approach that yields quantitative pharmacology at the single-gene and pathway level.

    Subcellular drug targeting illuminates local kinase action

    Paula J Bucko, Chloe K Lombard ... John D Scott
    Genetically-encoded platforms direct kinase inhibitor drugs to organelles to reveal new dimensions of local kinase signaling.

    The structural basis of the multi-step allosteric activation of Aurora B kinase

    Dario Segura-Peña, Oda Hovet ... Nikolina Sekulic
    An entropy switch controls the Aurora B autoactivation process through two distinct kinetic steps of phosphorylation.

    Assessing target engagement using proteome-wide solvent shift assays

    Jonathan G Van Vranken, Jiaming Li ... Steven P Gygi
    Solvent shift assays such as solvent proteome profiling and solvent-PISA are valuable tools for identifying protein-ligand interactions on a proteome-wide scale and can be used to determine drug target engagement, which should benefit future drug discovery efforts.

    Neuronal complexity is attenuated in preclinical models of migraine and restored by HDAC6 inhibition

    Zachariah Bertels, Harinder Singh ... Amynah A Pradhan
    In models of chronic migraine, neuronal complexity is diminished in head-pain processing regions but restored through HDAC6 inhibition, which increases tubulin acetylation and cytoskeletal flexibility, and CGRP receptor blockade.

    A dynamic mechanism for allosteric activation of Aurora kinase A by activation loop phosphorylation

    Emily F Ruff, Joseph M Muretta ... Nicholas M Levinson
    Phosphorylation of Aurora A does not trigger a population shift to the active state as previously thought, but instead switches the kinase on by tuning the structure and dynamics of a dynamically sampled subpopulation.

    Proteogenomic analysis of air-pollution-associated lung cancer reveals prevention and therapeutic opportunities

    Honglei Zhang, Chao Liu ... Gaofeng Li
    MAD1 and TPRN were identified as novel potential therapeutic targets of lung adenocarcinoma in female never-smokers from the Xuanwei area.

    Microcephaly-associated protein WDR62 shuttles from the Golgi apparatus to the spindle poles in human neural progenitors

    Claudia Dell'Amico, Marilyn M Angulo Salavarria ... Marco Onorati
    Microcephaly-associated mutations disrupt microtubule-dependent WDR62 translocation from the Golgi complex to the mitotic spindle poles, impair mitotic progression, and alter neurogenic trajectories in patient induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived 2D and 3D models of human neurodevelopment.

    Co-movement of astral microtubules, organelles and F-actin by dynein and actomyosin forces in frog egg cytoplasm

    James F Pelletier, Christine M Field ... Timothy J Mitchison
    Live imaging of multiple cytoplasmic networks in frog egg extracts calls for new models for how egg cytoplasm is physically organized during cleavage divisions.

    Use of signals of positive and negative selection to distinguish cancer genes and passenger genes

    László Bányai, Maria Trexler ... László Patthy
    In contrast with earlier conclusions, negative selection has a major role in cancer evolution.
