    Dedicated chaperones coordinate co-translational regulation of ribosomal protein production with ribosome assembly to preserve proteostasis

    Benjamin Pillet, Alfonso Méndez-Godoy ... Dieter Kressler
    A novel co-translational mechanism continuously adjusts the expression levels of ribosomal proteins Rpl3 and Rpl4 to their consumption during ribosome synthesis by regulating the abundance of their mRNAs.

    Re-examining how complexin inhibits neurotransmitter release

    Thorsten Trimbuch, Junjie Xu ... Christian Rosenmund
    Challenging a widespread model, biophysical and electrophysiological experiments suggest a new mechanism whereby complexins inhibit neurotransmitter release through electrostatic repulsion between their accessory helix and the membranes.

    SNAP25 disease mutations change the energy landscape for synaptic exocytosis due to aberrant SNARE interactions

    Anna Kádková, Jacqueline Murach ... Jakob Balslev Sørensen
    SNAP25 disease mutations within the synaptotagmin interface impair vesicle priming and cause uncontrolled spontaneous release due to enhanced SNARE:SNARE interactions, whereas a mutation within the SNARE-bundle increases the fusion energy barrier.

    Specific structural elements of the T-box riboswitch drive the two-step binding of the tRNA ligand

    Jiacheng Zhang, Bhaskar Chetnani ... Jingyi Fei
    The glycine T-box riboswitch recognizes tRNAgly and senses its aminoacylation state by first interacting with the anticodon region and subsequently probing the 3' end of the ligand using both specific structural elements and conformational dynamics.

    Importin-9 wraps around the H2A-H2B core to act as nuclear importer and histone chaperone

    Abhilash Padavannil, Prithwijit Sarkar ... Yuh Min Chook
    In an unusual complex that is not dissociated by RanGTP alone, Importin-9 sequesters the H2A-H2B core from promiscuous interactions.
