    Mechanism of dimer selectivity and binding cooperativity of BRAF inhibitors

    Joseph Clayton, Aarion Romany ... Jana Shen
    BRAF inhibitors achieve monomer or dimer selectivity through their ability to modulate dimerization and allosteric communication.

    Computational modeling and quantitative physiology reveal central parameters for brassinosteroid-regulated early cell physiological processes linked to elongation growth of the Arabidopsis root

    Ruth Großeholz, Friederike Wanke ... Klaus Harter
    The recurring application of computational modelling combined with wet lab experiments identify and predict central regulatory parameters and factors for early cell physiological reactions linked to differential brassinosteroid-modified elongation growth in the root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana.

    Revealing an outward-facing open conformational state in a CLC Cl/H+ exchange transporter

    Chandra M Khantwal, Sherwin J Abraham ... Merritt Maduke
    The characterization of a previously unidentified “outward-facing open” conformational state provides a new framework for understanding the CLC transport mechanism.

    Role of competition between polarity sites in establishing a unique front

    Chi-Fang Wu, Jian-Geng Chiou ... Daniel J Lew
    In budding yeast, nascent polarity sites engage in a winner-takes-all contest to determine a single front.

    Potassium-mediated bacterial chemotactic response

    Chi Zhang, Rongjing Zhang, Junhua Yuan
    Escherichia coli exhibits sensitive chemotaxis to potassium, mediated by differential responses of Tar and Tsr chemoreceptors to intracellular pH changes induced by potassium concentration gradients.

    pH- and sodium-induced changes in a sodium/proton antiporter

    Cristina Paulino, Werner Kühlbrandt
    Sodium ions but not protons induce defined helix movements in a sodium/proton antiporter and suggest a mechanism for Na + binding and transport.

    CO2 directly modulates connexin 26 by formation of carbamate bridges between subunits

    Louise Meigh, Sophie A Greenhalgh ... Nicholas Dale
    A CO2 receptor and a mechanism for the CO2-mediated opening of gap junction hemichannels have been identified.

    Structural motifs for subtype-specific pH-sensitive gating of vertebrate otopetrin proton channels

    Bochuan Teng, Joshua P Kaplan ... Emily R Liman
    The sour receptor, OTOP1, and related proton channel OTOP3 are steeply activated by extracellular protons while OTOP2 is active over a broad pH range and differences in gating are partly attributed to extracellular domains.

    Empirical single-cell tracking and cell-fate simulation reveal dual roles of p53 in tumor suppression

    Ann Rancourt, Sachiko Sato, Masahiko S Satoh
    Single-cell tracking and cell-fate simulation suggest that low levels of p53 suppress aneuploid cell formation in unstressed cells and also reveal the dual fate of cells lacking p53 in the presence of p53-proficient cells.
