    Skd3 (human ClpB) is a potent mitochondrial protein disaggregase that is inactivated by 3-methylglutaconic aciduria-linked mutations

    Ryan R Cupo, James Shorter
    Skd3 (human ClpB) is a potent ATP-dependent mitochondrial protein disaggregase that is activated by the rhomboid protease, PARL, and inactivated by MGCA7-linked mutations.

    Phylogenomic analysis supports the ancestral presence of LPS-outer membranes in the Firmicutes

    Luisa CS Antunes, Daniel Poppleton ... Simonetta Gribaldo
    Phylogenomics provides support for the Gram-positive type of bacterial cell envelope being a derived character that arose independently multiple times through loss of an ancestral outer membrane.

    Regulation of pDC fate determination by histone deacetylase 3

    Yijun Zhang, Tao Wu ... Li Wu
    HDAC3 regulates the development of pDCs and maintenance of homeostasis of hematopoietic progenitors with dendritic cell (DC) differentiation potential, mechanistically by repressing cDC1 associated genes in a deacetylase-dependent manner.

    Catalytic activity and autoprocessing of murine caspase-11 mediate noncanonical inflammasome assembly in response to cytosolic LPS

    Daniel C Akuma, Kimberly A Wodzanowski ... Igor E Brodsky
    Caspase-11 catalytic activity and autoprocessing play key roles upstream rather than downstream of its assembly into higher-order inflammasome complexes in response to cytosolic bacterial lipopolysaccharide.

    Interactions between a subset of substrate side chains and AAA+ motor pore loops determine grip during protein unfolding

    Tristan A Bell, Tania A Baker, Robert T Sauer
    The AAA+ protein unfolding motor ClpX grips substrates with the uppermost part of its substrate-binding pore, and requires interactions with hydrophobic amino acid side chains to operate with optimal efficiency.

    Lymphoid origin of intrinsically activated plasmacytoid dendritic cells in mice

    Alessandra Machado Araujo, Joseph D Dekker ... Haley O Tucker
    Single-cell RNA-seq data and transgenic models revealed B-plasmacytoid dendritic cells (B-pDCs) represent a phenotypically and functionally distinct common lymphoid progenitor-derived pDC lineage specialized in T cell activation and previously not described in mice.

    TRIP13 is a protein-remodeling AAA+ ATPase that catalyzes MAD2 conformation switching

    Qiaozhen Ye, Scott C Rosenberg ... Kevin D Corbett
    TRIP13 inactivates the spindle assembly checkpoint by converting MAD2 from its active ‘closed’ state to its inactive ‘open’ state.

    HLJ1 amplifies endotoxin-induced sepsis severity by promoting IL-12 heterodimerization in macrophages

    Wei-Jia Luo, Sung-Liang Yu ... Kang-Yi Su
    Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals HLJ1 as a novel immunomodulator for multicellular pathway of macrophages and NK cells, contributing to organ injury and sepsis death through amplified IL-12/IFN-γ axis.

    A processive rotary mechanism couples substrate unfolding and proteolysis in the ClpXP degradation machinery

    Zev A Ripstein, Siavash Vahidi ... Lewis E Kay
    Understanding of bacterial protein degradation is illuminated by cryo-EM structures of the substrate-bound ClpXP complex from Neisseria meningitidis at 2.3 to 3.3 Å resolution.

    Structures of TorsinA and its disease-mutant complexed with an activator reveal the molecular basis for primary dystonia

    F Esra Demircioglu, Brian A Sosa ... Thomas U Schwartz
    High resolution structures of the essential human AAA+ ATPase TorsinA and its disease mutant in complex with an activator reveal details of the interaction that will guide drug design and further functional characterization.
