    A genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen identifies calreticulin as a selective repressor of ATF6α

    Joanne Tung, Lei Huang ... Adriana Ordonez
    Calreticulin, beyond its known role as a chaperone, also serves as an endoplasmic reticulum repressor of ATF6⍺, selectively regulating one arm of the unfolded protein response.

    Structural insight into guanylyl cyclase receptor hijacking of the kinase–Hsp90 regulatory mechanism

    Nathanael A Caveney, Naotaka Tsutsumi, K Christopher Garcia
    Cryo-EM structures reveal GC-C associates with regulatory heat shock proteins similarly to bona fide protein kinases and this can guide the further development of mGC-targeted therapeutics.

    A concerted mechanism involving ACAT and SREBPs by which oxysterols deplete accessible cholesterol to restrict microbial infection

    David B Heisler, Kristen A Johnson ... Arun Radhakrishnan
    An essential role for ACAT in conferring 25HC-mediated protection against bacterial and viral infection has been uncovered.

    Resurrecting essential amino acid biosynthesis in mammalian cells

    Julie Trolle, Ross M McBee ... Harris H Wang
    Mammalian cells were engineered to synthesize valine, a metabolic capacity that had been lost from the lineage of higher eukaryotes for >500 million years.

    Control of neurotransmitter release by two distinct membrane-binding faces of the Munc13-1 C1C2B region

    Marcial Camacho, Bradley Quade ... Christian Rosenmund
    Two different binding modes of the Munc13-1 C­1C2B region govern synaptic vesicle priming and neurotransmitter release probability.

    Calcium depletion challenges endoplasmic reticulum proteostasis by destabilising BiP-substrate complexes

    Steffen Preissler, Claudia Rato ... David Ron
    Regulation of the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone BiP by calcium.

    Membrane bridging by Munc13-1 is crucial for neurotransmitter release

    Bradley Quade, Marcial Camacho ... Josep Rizo
    Cryo-electron tomography, reconstitution, and electrophysiological data show that a fundamental function of Munc13-1 is to bridge synaptic vesicles to the presynaptic plasma membrane.

    AMPylation targets the rate-limiting step of BiP’s ATPase cycle for its functional inactivation

    Steffen Preissler, Lukas Rohland ... David Ron
    AMPylation of BiP allosterically interferes with stimulation of its ATPase activity by J-proteins that is required for high affinity substrate binding.

    Autoinhibition of Munc18-1 modulates synaptobrevin binding and helps to enable Munc13-dependent regulation of membrane fusion

    Ewa Sitarska, Junjie Xu ... Josep Rizo
    Biophysical and functional data strongly support the notion that Munc18-1 acts as a template to assemble the neuronal SNARE complex, and that inhibition of this activity underlies diverse forms of regulation of neurotransmitter release.

    PPP1R15A-mediated dephosphorylation of eIF2α is unaffected by Sephin1 or Guanabenz

    Ana Crespillo-Casado, Joseph E Chambers ... David Ron
    The notion that the drug-like small molecule Sephin1 protects against protein misfolding by selectively disrupting a cellular phosphatase is refuted.
