    PTEN controls glandular morphogenesis through a juxtamembrane β-Arrestin1/ARHGAP21 scaffolding complex

    Arman Javadi, Ravi K Deevi ... Frederick C Campbell
    PTEN organizes multicellular architecture by non-catalytic scaffolding of spatially localized β-Arrestin1/ARHGAP21/Cdc42 protein complexes to control mitotic spindle orientation, multicellular configuration and lumen formation.

    Structural basis for activation and non-canonical catalysis of the Rap GTPase activating protein domain of plexin

    Yuxiao Wang, Heath G Pascoe ... Xuewu Zhang
    The crystal structures of the intracellular part of the plexin receptor in the active dimer form, and its complex with a key downstream signalling protein Rap, provide insights into how plexin initiates a signalling cascade involved in axon guidance.

    How IGF-1 activates its receptor

    Jennifer M Kavran, Jacqueline M McCabe ... Daniel J Leahy
    Ligand binding to the ectodomain of the insulin-like growth factor receptor destabilises an autoinhibitory inter-subunit interaction, which allows the transmembrane domains to associate and the intracellular regions to autophosphorylate.

    Receptor-mediated dimerization of JAK2 FERM domains is required for JAK2 activation

    Ryan D Ferrao, Heidi JA Wallweber, Patrick J Lupardus
    An intracellular cytokine receptor 'switch' motif is critical for the dimerization of JAK2 and activation of the JAK2 kinase.

    A toolkit for studying cell surface shedding of diverse transmembrane receptors

    Amanda N Hayward, Eric J Aird, Wendy R Gordon
    The modularity and unequivocal input/response of Notch signaling are harnessed to measure cell-surface shedding of diverse transmembrane receptors to identify new proteolytic switches and detect modulation of proteolysis by therapeutics.

    Collagen induces activation of DDR1 through lateral dimer association and phosphorylation between dimers

    Victoria Juskaite, David S Corcoran, Birgit Leitinger
    Ligand binding induces DDR1 kinase activity through recruitment of DDR1 receptors into signalling clusters in which phosphorylation occurs across different dimers.

    Ring-like oligomers of Synaptotagmins and related C2 domain proteins

    Maria N Zanetti, Oscar D Bello ... Shyam S Krishnakumar
    A model for synchronous neurotransmitter release suggests that when not in the presence of calcium ions, Synaptotagmin proteins form ring-like structures between the vesicle and plasma membrane that prevent spontaneous fusion.

    The prolactin receptor scaffolds Janus kinase 2 via co-structure formation with phosphoinositide-4,5-bisphosphate

    Raul Araya-Secchi, Katrine Bugge ... Birthe B Kragelund
    The prolactin receptor, Janus kinase 2, and PI(4,5)P2 form a co-structure with the membrane resulting in orientations with different accessibility fixing the disordered juxtamembrane domain of the receptor in an extended structure.
