    Simple biochemical features underlie transcriptional activation domain diversity and dynamic, fuzzy binding to Mediator

    Adrian L Sanborn, Benjamin T Yeh ... Roger D Kornberg
    Transcriptional activation domains achieve rapid, dynamic, specific interaction with Mediator through binding of an unstructured peptide to multiple hydrophobic surfaces without particular amino acid side chain interactions.

    Hepatitis B virus core protein allosteric modulators can distort and disrupt intact capsids

    Christopher John Schlicksup, Joseph Che-Yen Wang ... Adam Zlotnick
    Small molecule antivirals that drive assembly of HBV capsid protein can also bind to pre-assembled capsids causing them to change morphology or even break, suggesting a complex transduction of binding effects across the capsid.

    The evolutionary modifications of a GoLoco motif in the AGS protein facilitate micromere formation in the sea urchin embryo

    Natsuko Emura, Florence DM Wavreil ... Mamiko Yajima
    Activator of G-protein signaling C-terminus serves as a variable element to induce asymmetric cell division, facilitating developmental diversity among species.

    Crl activates transcription by stabilizing active conformation of the master stress transcription initiation factor

    Juncao Xu, Kaijie Cui ... Yu Zhang
    The cryo-EM structure of Escherichia coli Crl–TAC reveals the mechanism of DNA-contact-independent transcription activation.

    Mapping the endemicity and seasonality of clinical malaria for intervention targeting in Haiti using routine case data

    Ewan Cameron, Alyssa J Young ... Katherine E Battle
    A demonstration of the power of routine case data and statistical modelling to guide the allocation of anti-malarial interventions in a resource-constrained setting.

    Apical targeting of the formin Diaphanous in Drosophila tubular epithelia

    Tal Rousso, Annette M Shewan ... Ben-Zion Shilo
    Synergistic interactions with PI(4,5)P2 and activated Rho1, which are enriched at the apical membrane of tubular organs, facilitate tight apical targeting of the formin Diaphanous.

    Structural basis of HIV-1 Vpu-mediated BST2 antagonism via hijacking of the clathrin adaptor protein complex 1

    Xiaofei Jia, Erin Weber ... Yong Xiong
    HIV-1 viral protein u (Vpu) can stimulate novel versions of canonical interactions with the clathrin adaptor AP1 to counteract the host antiviral protein BST2.

    Integrative analysis of DNA replication origins and ORC-/MCM-binding sites in human cells reveals a lack of overlap

    Mengxue Tian, Zhenjia Wang ... Chongzhi Zang
    The ~20,000 origins of replication in human cell lines that are reproducibly identified by multiple techniques in multiple cell lines are distant from known origin recognition complex and MCM2-7-binding sites.

    Formation of a β-barrel membrane protein is catalyzed by the interior surface of the assembly machine protein BamA

    James Lee, David Tomasek ... Daniel Kahne
    Outer membrane β-barrel proteins in Gram-negative bacteria are assembled within the lumen of the BamA β-barrel.

    Phosphorylation, disorder, and phase separation govern the behavior of Frequency in the fungal circadian clock

    Daniyal Tariq, Nicole Maurici ... Brian R Crane
    The intrinsic disorder of the circadian clock protein Frequency organizes binding partners, facilitates liquid–liquid phase separation, modulates Frequency phosphorylation, and derives from sequence properties conserved with homologous clock components.
