    Breaking antimicrobial resistance by disrupting extracytoplasmic protein folding

    R Christopher D Furniss, Nikol Kaderabkova ... Despoina AI Mavridou
    Disruption of disulfide bond formation sensitizes resistant Gram-negative bacteria expressing β-lactamases and mobile colistin resistance enzymes to currently available antibiotics.

    Chemical perturbation of an intrinsically disordered region of TFIID distinguishes two modes of transcription initiation

    Zhengjian Zhang, Zarko Boskovic ... Robert Tjian
    An inorganic tin oxochloride cluster specifically binds to an intrinsically disordered, histidine-rich, low complexity protein region and arrests de novo transcription initiation without affecting reinitiation.

    Bipartite binding and partial inhibition links DEPTOR and mTOR in a mutually antagonistic embrace

    Maren Heimhalt, Alex Berndt ... Roger L Williams
    The inhibitory protein DEPTOR make two widely separated interactions with mTOR that are both necessary for its unique partial mTOR inhibition, and DEPTOR is a more potent inhibitor of mutation- or RHEB-activated mTORC1 than basal mTORC1.

    Proteostasis is differentially modulated by inhibition of translation initiation or elongation

    Khalyd J Clay, Yongzhi Yang ... Michael Petrascheck
    Carefully controlling the level of protein synthesis reduction and mode of translation inhibitor action reveal different and sometimes opposing phenotypic effects following proteostasis stress, wherein protection via initiation inhibition specifically depends on heat shock factor 1.

    Assessing the mechanism and therapeutic potential of modulators of the human Mediator complex-associated protein kinases

    Paul A Clarke, Maria-Jesus Ortiz-Ruiz ... Dirk Wienke
    Detailed molecular profiling investigations alongside antitumor testing and tolerability studies in animals suggest caution when considering the clinical development of inhibitors of CDK8 and CDK19, since a clear therapeutic window could not be demonstrated with two structurally distinct, potent and selective prototype drugs.

    Subcellular drug targeting illuminates local kinase action

    Paula J Bucko, Chloe K Lombard ... John D Scott
    Genetically-encoded platforms direct kinase inhibitor drugs to organelles to reveal new dimensions of local kinase signaling.

    Hepatoenteric recycling is a new disposition mechanism for orally administered phenolic drugs and phytochemicals in rats

    Yifan Tu, Lu Wang ... Ming Hu
    A new disposition mechanism for glucuronides, where liver serves as recycle organ and intestine serves as metabolism organ, is established to better explain the disposition of phenolics in vivo.

    Efficient differentiation of human primordial germ cells through geometric control reveals a key role for Nodal signaling

    Kyoung Jo, Seth Teague ... Idse Heemskerk
    Highly reproducible and efficient human primordial germ cell differentiation was achieved through geometric confinement, which enabled quantitative dissection of the cell signaling driving this differentiation, revealing a major role of Wnt signaling is indirect by inducing Nodal signaling.

    Tyrosine phosphorylation tunes chemical and thermal sensitivity of TRPV2 ion channel

    Xiaoyi Mo, Peiyuan Pang ... Jing Yao
    Mg2+-dependent JAK1-mediated phosphorylation sensitizes TRPV2 activity and thermo-threshold, which is counterbalanced by PTPN1-mediated dephosphorylation, highlighting a role of phosphorylation homeostasis in setting the basal activity of TRPV2.

    Small molecule inhibition of apicomplexan FtsH1 disrupts plastid biogenesis in human pathogens

    Katherine Amberg-Johnson, Sanjay B Hari ... Ellen Yeh
    An unbiased chemical screen identifies the AAA+ membrane metalloprotease FtsH1 as a novel apicoplast biogenesis factor and druggable antimalarial target.
