    Structural and dynamic changes in P-Rex1 upon activation by PIP3 and inhibition by IP4

    Sandeep K Ravala, Sendi Rafael Adame-Garcia ... John JG Tesmer
    P-Rex1 adopts an inactive, compact conformation that is stabilized by an abundant intracellular molecule and undergoes dynamic changes to extend upon encountering signaling phospholipids in membranes.

    A role of OCRL in clathrin-coated pit dynamics and uncoating revealed by studies of Lowe syndrome cells

    Ramiro Nández, Daniel M Balkin ... Pietro De Camilli
    Studies of Lowe syndrome patient cells, which lack the inositol 5-phosphatase OCRL, suggest that a defect in endocytosis plays a role in the pathological manifestations of the disease.

    Synaptojanin cooperates in vivo with endophilin through an unexpected mechanism

    Yongming Dong, Yueyang Gou ... Jihong Bai
    The Sac1 phosphatase domain, rather than the proline-rich domain, plays an essential role in synaptojanin activity during endocytosis.

    An unconventional gatekeeper mutation sensitizes inositol hexakisphosphate kinases to an allosteric inhibitor

    Tim Aguirre, Gillian L Dornan ... Dorothea Fiedler
    A subtle mutation in the ATP-binding site of inositol hexakisphosphate kinases increases their conformational flexibility and thereby makes them susceptible to isozyme-selective, allosteric inhibition.

    Functional genomics of lipid metabolism in the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides

    Samuel T Coradetti, Dominic Pinel ... Jeffrey M Skerker
    Using barcoded mutagenesis and a high-throughput genetic screen results in the identification of 150 genes that affect lipid accumulation in a non-model yeast system.

    Optimized Vivid-derived Magnets photodimerizers for subcellular optogenetics in mammalian cells

    Lorena Benedetti, Jonathan S Marvin ... Pietro De Camilli
    eMags is an engineered photodimerizer pair for optogenetic modulation in mammalian cells that is especially suited for the manipulation of intracellular processes occurring in small volumes or subcellular organelles.

    Autoinhibition of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) and activation by soluble inositol hexakisphosphate

    Qi Wang, Erik M Vogan ... John Kuriyan
    A key B-cell tyrosine kinase that adopts an autoinhibited conformation, and can be activated by either membrane recruitment or soluble inositol hexakisphosphates in solution.

    SAC1 degrades its lipid substrate PtdIns4P in the endoplasmic reticulum to maintain a steep chemical gradient with donor membranes

    James P Zewe, Rachel C Wills ... Gerald RV Hammond
    SAC1 is unable to adopt an efficient "trans" mode of action in living cells.

    A binding site for phosphoinositides described by multiscale simulations explains their modulation of voltage-gated sodium channels

    Yiechang Lin, Elaine Tao ... Ben Corry
    Simulations reveal where phosphoinositide lipids bind to voltage-gated sodium channels and how they reduce channel activity.
