    Integrative dynamic structural biology unveils conformers essential for the oligomerization of a large GTPase

    Thomas-O Peulen, Carola S Hengstenberg ... Christian Herrmann
    Multimodal spectroscopy (smFRET, EPR, SAXS, and SANS) and integrative structural modeling reveal large-scale domain rearrangements in human guanylate binding protein 1 (hGBP1) that are driving forces for the formation of oligomers that enable its biological function in innate immune defense.

    Pancreatic tumors exhibit myeloid-driven amino acid stress and upregulate arginine biosynthesis

    Juan J Apiz Saab, Lindsey N Dzierozynski ... Alexander Muir
    Analysis of the tumor microenvironment reveals that pancreatic tumors experience metabolic stress caused by immune cell degradation of the amino acid arginine, and that pancreatic cancers cope by synthesizing arginine to provide access this amino acid despite low tumor availability.

    Structural intermediates observed only in intact Escherichia coli indicate a mechanism for TonB-dependent transport

    Thushani D Nilaweera, David A Nyenhuis, David S Cafiso
    Pulse electron paramagnetic resonance on intact Escherichia coli reveals a substrate-induced structural transition in BtuB, the vitamin B12 transporter, which is not seen in reconstituted membranes and indicates a mechanism of transport.

    Structural basis for allosteric control of the SERCA-Phospholamban membrane complex by Ca2+ and phosphorylation

    Daniel K Weber, U Venkateswara Reddy ... Gianluigi Veglia
    A spectroscopic analysis of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA)-phospholamban membrane complex reveals the importance of the relative transmembrane orientation for inhibition or activation of the ATPase.

    Identification of human glucocorticoid response markers using integrated multi-omic analysis from a randomized crossover trial

    Dimitrios Chantzichristos, Per-Arne Svensson ... Gudmundur Johannsson
    A human experimental model for physiological glucocorticoid exposure and glucocorticoid withdrawal identifies a multi-omic cluster, including microRNA miR-122-5p and metabolites, associated with glucocorticoid-responsive genes.
