    UNC93B1 mediates differential trafficking of endosomal TLRs

    Bettina L Lee, Joanne E Moon ... Gregory M Barton
    A transmembrane protein uses distinct mechanisms to regulate the movement of specific toll-like receptors-key immune system components involved in detecting pathogens-to their final locations inside cells.

    Small molecule-mediated refolding and activation of myosin motor function

    Michael B Radke, Manuel H Taft ... Dietmar J Manstein
    The small molecule EMD 57033 is one of a new class of pharmacological chaperones that stabilize, enhance the activity of, and correct stress-induced misfolding of myosin proteins.

    SLY1 and Syntaxin 18 specify a distinct pathway for procollagen VII export from the endoplasmic reticulum

    Cristina Nogueira, Patrik Erlmann ... Vivek Malhotra
    A cross-linking screen finds proteins that interact with TANGO1 to export Procollagen VII, and suggests a new model for the secretion of these bulky cargoes that are involved in skin and bone formation.

    Lymph node stromal cells constrain immunity via MHC class II self-antigen presentation

    Antonio P Baptista, Ramon Roozendaal ... Reina E Mebius
    MHC class II-mediated self-antigen presentation by lymph node stromal cells controls regulatory T cell homeostasis, thus safeguarding immune tolerance.

    Noncanonical binding of BiP ATPase domain to Ire1 and Perk is dissociated by unfolded protein CH1 to initiate ER stress signaling

    Marta Carrara, Filippo Prischi ... Maruf MU Ali
    The chaperone protein BiP forms complexes with Ire1 and Perk that dissociate when unfolded proteins bind to BiP to activate the unfolded protein response in the ER.

    A forward genetic screen reveals novel independent regulators of ULBP1, an activating ligand for natural killer cells

    Benjamin G Gowen, Bryan Chim ... David H Raulet
    Forward genetic screening has provided insight into the molecular mechanisms and stress pathways that promote tumor cell recognition by natural killer cells.

    TAPBPR alters MHC class I peptide presentation by functioning as a peptide exchange catalyst

    Clemens Hermann, Andy van Hateren ... Louise H Boyle
    We reveal TAPBPR is a peptide exchange catalyst which restricts the peptide repertoire presented by MHC I on cells, a finding which has important implications for all aspects of immune recognition.

    MHC-compatible bone marrow stromal/stem cells trigger fibrosis by activating host T cells in a scleroderma mouse model

    Yoko Ogawa, Satoru Morikawa ... Shigeto Shimmura
    PDGFRα+ Sca-1+ bone marrow stromal/stem cells in whole bone marrow grafts can trigger the onset of autoimmune-related fibrosis in a mouse model of scleroderma.

    Toxoplasma gondii peptide ligands open the gate of the HLA class I binding groove

    Curtis McMurtrey, Thomas Trolle ... William Hildebrand
    T. gondii infection alters how peptide ligands are presented to the immune system by inducing a previously unreported structural change in Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLAs).

    Nucleocapsid assembly in pneumoviruses is regulated by conformational switching of the N protein

    Max Renner, Mattia Bertinelli ... Jonathan M Grimes
    A structural comparison of different states of the protein responsible for encapsidation of the viral RNA genome provides mechanistic insights into this process.
