    The MIDAS domain of AAA mechanoenzyme Mdn1 forms catch bonds with two different substrates

    Keith J Mickolajczyk, Paul Dominic B Olinares ... Tarun M Kapoor
    The MIDAS domain of Mdn1, an ATP-driven mechanoenzyme involved in ribosome biogenesis, forms catch bonds with two different ubiquitin-like domain-containing ribosomal assembly factors.

    Plasticity of the proteasome-targeting signal Fat10 enhances substrate degradation

    Hitendra Negi, Aravind Ravichandran ... Ranabir Das
    Biophysical experiments, pulse-chase assays, and molecular dynamics simulations reveal how the proteasome targeting signal Fat10 can modulate the structure of substrate proteins to potentially regulate their degradation by the proteasome.

    The acetylase activity of Cdu1 regulates bacterial exit from infected cells by protecting Chlamydia effectors from degradation

    Robert J Bastidas, Mateusz Kędzior ... Raphael H Valdivia
    Genetic and biochemical analyses show that Chlamydia protects secreted effectors necessary for its exit from infected cells, preventing them from undergoing ubiquitination and degradation.

    The linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) generates heterotypic ubiquitin chains

    Alan Rodriguez Carvajal, Irina Grishkovskaya ... Fumiyo Ikeda
    The E3 ubiquitin ligase complex linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) forms a branched chain on linear ubiquitin chains depending on the RING-in-between-RING-type E3 ligase heme-oxidized IRP2 ubiquitin ligase 1 (HOIL-1L).

    Structure of PINK1 and mechanisms of Parkinson's disease-associated mutations

    Atul Kumar, Jevgenia Tamjar ... Daan MF van Aalten
    The structure of human PINK1 explains structural regulation and clarity on the impact of loss of function disease-associated mutations, which may stimulate future drug discovery efforts for both familial and idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

    The termination of UHRF1-dependent PAF15 ubiquitin signaling is regulated by USP7 and ATAD5

    Ryota Miyashita, Atsuya Nishiyama ... Makoto Nakanishi
    The cooperative action of PAF15 deubiquitylation by USP7 and its dissociation from chromatin by ATAD5 regulates proper PAF15Ub2 signaling termination, which is important for replication and maintenance of DNA methylation.

    A Non-stop identity complex (NIC) supervises enterocyte identity and protects from premature aging

    Neta Erez, Lena Israitel ... Amir Orian
    A nuclear Non-stop identity complex (NIC) supervises enterocyte (EC) identity, preserves tissue homeostasis, and prevents premature aging by maintaining EC-specific gene expression, silencing non-relevant programs, and safeguarding large-scale nuclear organization.

    Mechanically transduced immunosorbent assay to measure protein-protein interactions

    Christopher J Petell, Kathyrn Randene ... Joshua P Steimel
    METRIS is a method that reports a mechanical readout of protein-protein interactions and due to its unique properties, it will allow many protein-protein interactions to be quantitatively measured easily that are currently laborious to measure with conventional methods.
