    Conserved allosteric inhibition mechanism in SLC1 transporters

    Yang Dong, Jiali Wang ... Christof Grewer
    Functional and computational studies reveal that the allosteric inhibition mechanism is conserved between glutamate and neutral amino acid transporters of the SLC1 family, and identify a novel allosteric inhibitor.

    eIF4E S209 phosphorylation licenses myc- and stress-driven oncogenesis

    Hang Ruan, Xiangyun Li ... Jian Yu
    Genetic and transcriptomic analyses revealed that eIF4E S209 phosphorylation enables Myc and mutant KRAS cooperation in colon cancer through stress- and glutamine-dependent growth and addiction.

    Structural and functional properties of a magnesium transporter of the SLC11/NRAMP family

    Karthik Ramanadane, Monique S Straub ... Cristina Manatschal
    The structural and functional characterization of EleNRMT defines the basis for the distinct ion selectivity of a clade of the SLC11/NRAMP family which, instead of transporting transition metal ions, have evolved as uncoupled transporters of Mg2+.

    Use of signals of positive and negative selection to distinguish cancer genes and passenger genes

    László Bányai, Maria Trexler ... László Patthy
    In contrast with earlier conclusions, negative selection has a major role in cancer evolution.

    The copy-number and varied strengths of MELT motifs in Spc105 balance the strength and responsiveness of the spindle assembly checkpoint

    Babhrubahan Roy, Simon JY Han ... Ajit P Joglekar
    Cell biological and genetic analyses reveal how budding yeast cells optimize Spindle Assembly checkpoint signaling to maximize chromosome segregation accuracy and minimize unnecessary delays in anaphase onset.

    Thermodynamic evidence for a dual transport mechanism in a POT peptide transporter

    Joanne L Parker, Joseph A Mindell, Simon Newstead
    Two thermodynamically distinct transport mechanisms operating within the same binding site explains the remarkable promiscuity of POT family transporters towards peptide and drug ligands.

    eIF2B activator prevents neurological defects caused by a chronic integrated stress response

    Yao Liang Wong, Lauren LeBon ... Carmela Sidrauski
    Boosting the function of translation factor eIF2B by chronic small molecule administration prevents pathology in a neurodegenerative model of Vanishing White Matter disease characterized by a maladaptive stress response.
