    Structure of the human heparan-α-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase (HGSNAT)

    Vikas Navratna, Arvind Kumar ... Shyamal Mosalaganti
    First high-resolution structure of HGSNAT-acetyl-CoA complex, that describes the architecture of a novel transmembrane N-acetyltransferase fold and provides a molecular basis for MPS IIIC causing mutation induced destabilization of HGSNAT.

    Identification of a critical sulfation in chondroitin that inhibits axonal regeneration

    Craig S Pearson, Caitlin P Mencio ... Herbert M Geller
    4-sulfation at the non-reducing end of chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains is essential for inhibition of axonal growth.

    High lumenal chloride in the lysosome is critical for lysosome function

    Kasturi Chakraborty, KaHo Leung, Yamuna Krishnan
    Lysosomes are highly enriched in chloride, which is essential for their degradative function.

    Homozygous YME1L1 mutation causes mitochondriopathy with optic atrophy and mitochondrial network fragmentation

    Bianca Hartmann, Timothy Wai ... Angela M Kaindl
    Mutations affecting a nuclear encoded metalloprotease cause of a new form of mitochondriopathy, highlighting the importance of this protease for mitochondrial function in humans.

    Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4,6 sulfation regulates sympathetic nerve regeneration after myocardial infarction

    Matthew R Blake, Diana C Parrish ... Beth A Habecker
    4,6-Sulfation of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans prevents sympathetic nerve regeneration into the infarct after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion, and reducing this sulfation promotes nerve regeneration and decreases arrhythmia susceptibility.

    A Drosophila model of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis CLN4 reveals a hypermorphic gain of function mechanism

    Elliot Imler, Jin Sang Pyon ... Konrad E Zinsmaier
    Genetic analysis of a CLN4 Drosophila model suggests that the disease-causing alleles act as dominant gain of function mutations that cause CSPα oligomerization and impair secretory and prelysosomal trafficking.
