    Molecular structure of human KATP in complex with ATP and ADP

    Kenneth Pak Kin Lee, Jue Chen, Roderick MacKinnon
    MgADP binding to the high-affinity 'consensus' ATPase active site of SUR1 and remodeling of the L0-loop (lasso region) overrides tonic ATP inhibition of KATP channels.

    Purinergic signaling in cochlear supporting cells reduces hair cell excitability by increasing the extracellular space

    Travis A Babola, Calvin J Kersbergen ... Dwight E Bergles
    Supporting cells in the cochlea change their shape in response to purinergic receptor activation, which influences hair cell excitability by altering potassium redistribution in the extracellular space.

    Atomic structure of a mitochondrial complex I intermediate from vascular plants

    Maria Maldonado, Abhilash Padavannil ... James A Letts
    The first atomic resolution structure of a mitochondrial respiratory complex from plants provides insight into the assembly and evolution of respiration in autotrophic eukaryotes.

    A novel N-terminal extension in mitochondrial TRAP1 serves as a thermal regulator of chaperone activity

    James R Partridge, Laura A Lavery ... David A Agard
    Cytosolic and organellar Hsp90s from higher eukaryotes have evolved a variable, and environmentally responsive N-terminal extension to regulate their activity.

    Toxoplasma bradyzoites exhibit physiological plasticity of calcium and energy stores controlling motility and egress

    Yong Fu, Kevin M Brown ... L David Sibley
    Live-cell imaging and biochemical studies reveal that bradyzoites exhibit reduced Ca2+ stores, dampened calcium responses, and reduced energy levels consistent with their quiescent sate, but that they rapidly respond to environmental conditions to emerge from dormancy.

    Potassium dependent rescue of a myopathy with core-like structures in mouse

    M Gartz Hanson, Jonathan J Wilde ... Lee Niswander
    A mouse model of human muscle myopathy is used to provide mechanistic insight, identify possible biomarkers of disease, and suggest possible therapeutic strategies to alleviate muscle weakness.

    MukB ATPases are regulated independently by the N- and C-terminal domains of MukF kleisin

    Katarzyna Zawadzka, Pawel Zawadzki ... Lidia K Arciszewska
    In Escherichia coli structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complex, MukBEF, a dimeric MukF kleisin binds and activates MukB SMC ATPases through two independent interfaces provided by distinct MukF N- and C-terminal domains.

    DNA polymerase V activity is autoregulated by a novel intrinsic DNA-dependent ATPase

    Aysen L Erdem, Malgorzata Jaszczur ... Myron F Goodman
    DNA synthesis by DNA polymerase V is regulated by an intrinsic DNA-dependent ATPase activity which has not been observed for any other polymerase.

    Concurrent remodelling of nucleolar 60S subunit precursors by the Rea1 ATPase and Spb4 RNA helicase

    Valentin Mitterer, Matthias Thoms ... Roland Beckmann
    The RNA helicase Spb4 restructures rRNA helices H62/H63 and primes pre-ribosomal 60S intermediates for large-scale remodelling by the AAA-ATPase Rea1.

    Mitochondrial flashes regulate ATP homeostasis in the heart

    Xianhua Wang, Xing Zhang ... Heping Cheng
    Mitochondrial flashes counteract the imbalance of ATP supply-and-demand and constitute an auto-regulator of ATP homeostasis in the heart.
