    Greatwall-phosphorylated Endosulfine is both an inhibitor and a substrate of PP2A-B55 heterotrimers

    Byron C Williams, Joshua J Filter ... Michael L Goldberg
    The mechanism of inhibition by unfair competition is central to determining the protein phosphorylation states that govern cell cycle transitions between M phase and interphase.

    The aspartyl protease DDI2 activates Nrf1 to compensate for proteasome dysfunction

    Shun Koizumi, Taro Irie ... Shigeo Murata
    Peptidase activity of DDI2 is required to activate Nrf1 in order to enable proteasome recovery in response to proteasome inhibition.

    Destabilizers of the thymidylate synthase homodimer accelerate its proteasomal degradation and inhibit cancer growth

    Luca Costantino, Stefania Ferrari ... Maria Paola Costi
    The dimer destabilizers cause a dimer-to-monomer equilibrium shift favoring the human thymidylate synthase monomer more degradable by the proteasome, thus breaking the long-standing link between inhibition and enhanced expression of the protein to fight cancer drug resistance.

    PCK1 and DHODH drive colorectal cancer liver metastatic colonization and hypoxic growth by promoting nucleotide synthesis

    Norihiro Yamaguchi, Ethan M Weinberg ... Sohail F Tavazoie
    The gluconeogenic enzyme PCK1 and pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthetic enzyme DHODH drive hypoxic pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis and liver metastatic colonization in colorectal cancer, which is therapeutically exploitable by DHODH pharmacologic inhibition.

    Cryo-EM reveals distinct conformations of E. coli ATP synthase on exposure to ATP

    Meghna Sobti, Robert Ishmukhametov ... Alastair G Stewart
    Cryo-EM studies reveal that incubation with ATP produces conformational intermediates of E. coli ATP synthase, in which the ε subunit is no longer in its autoinhibitory conformation.

    Inhibitor of ppGalNAc-T3-mediated O-glycosylation blocks cancer cell invasiveness and lowers FGF23 levels

    Lina Song, Adam D Linstedt
    The first inhibitor identified against an iso-enzyme that initiates O-glycosylation in the Golgi complex promises new therapeutic approaches for cancer and chronic kidney disease.

    Cryo-EM structures demonstrate human IMPDH2 filament assembly tunes allosteric regulation

    Matthew C Johnson, Justin M Kollman
    Assembly of the human enzyme inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase 2 into filaments promotes substrate-dependent resistance to feedback inhibition by downstream products, promoting increased flux during proliferative states.

    Pharmacological inhibition of cystine–glutamate exchange induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and ferroptosis

    Scott J Dixon, Darpan N Patel ... Brent R Stockwell
    Erastin and sorafenib inhibit system xc- and induce ER stress, suggesting these may be useful tools for probing the functions of system xc- and its role in inducing ER stress and ferroptosis.

    Post-translational regulation of retinal IMPDH1 in vivo to adjust GTP synthesis to illumination conditions

    Anna Plana-Bonamaisó, Santiago López-Begines ... Ana Méndez
    The nucleotide sensing ability of IMPDH1 at the Bateman domain is regulated by light-dependent phosphorylation in the retina, to adjust GTP synthesis to illumination conditions.

    Evolution of (p)ppGpp-HPRT regulation through diversification of an allosteric oligomeric interaction

    Brent W Anderson, Kuanqing Liu ... Jue D Wang
    The signaling ligand (p)ppGpp regulates the enzyme HPRT across species by binding to a novel class of conserved motif, yet its specificity is allosterically altered through evolution of enzyme oligomerization.
