Stramenopiles are unusual, because the pay-off phase of glycolysis occurs in mitochondria rather than the cytosol and the identified mitochondrial carrier links the two parts by transporting glycolytic intermediates.

Oxidative modification of Tryptophan residues in the reaction center protein D1 may be a key to drive the Photosystem II repair, likely enhancing accessibility of FtsH protease to D1.

Potassium presumably binds to the Na1 site in LeuT, playing a role in inwardly rectifying the transport of substrates.

Time-resolved tmFRET revealed structural and energetic changes induced by ligand binding with full agonist cAMP and partial agonist cGMP in the cyclic nucleotide-binding domain of the bacterial ion channel SthK.

Cations are essential cofactors in the ATP activation mechanism of the KtrAB cation channel and appear to be cofactors of many other nucleotide-dependent RCK domains.

CryoEM reveals the structure of a two-component archaeal S-layer, which sheds new light on archaeal cell biology.

The N-terminal domain of the chromatin remodeler ISWI contains previously uncharacterized conserved motifs that maintain structure, prevent ATP hydrolysis unless nucleosomes are bound, and confer H4-tail sensitivity without directly competing with the H4 tail.

How nuclear pore complexes establish their permeability barrier has been a long-standing question; now, this process can be reconstituted by a surprisingly simple and rapid self-assembly of Nup98 FG domains into selective FG phases.
