    Allosteric activation of SENP1 by SUMO1 β-grasp domain involves a dock-and-coalesce mechanism

    Jingjing Guo, Huan-Xiang Zhou
    Simulations of molecular dynamics suggest how the binding of the β-grasp domain of SUMO1 induces conformational and dynamic effects to activate SENP1.

    Distinct structural and catalytic roles for Zap70 in formation of the immunological synapse in CTL

    Misty R Jenkins, Jane C Stinchcombe ... Gillian M Griffiths
    Inhibition of the catalytic activity of the Zap70 kinase reveals that discrete TCR-regulated events control the remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton when the cytotoxic T cell interacts with its target.

    Hundreds of myosin 10s are pushed to the tips of filopodia and could cause traffic jams on actin

    Julia Shangguan, Ronald S Rock
    Improved technology for counting proteins captures myosin 10 dynamics throughout the filopodial lifecycle, defines requirements for initiating filopodia, and reveals a crowded filopodial tip where motors frequently exceed available actin.

    The Uso1 globular head interacts with SNAREs to maintain viability even in the absence of the coiled-coil domain

    Ignacio Bravo-Plaza, Victor G Tagua ... Miguel A Peñalva
    Uso1 critically regulating traffic in the ER/Golgi interface is a coiled-coil protein traditionally regarded as a tether, but a forward genetic screen revealed that its essential role appears to involve its ability to interact with SNAREs.
