    Structural analysis of autoinhibition in the Ras-specific exchange factor RasGRP1

    Jeffrey S Iwig, Yvonne Vercoulen ... John Kuriyan
    A key activator of Ras signaling adopts an autoinhibited, dimeric conformation that is activated by membrane and calcium binding.

    A conserved histidine modulates HSPB5 structure to trigger chaperone activity in response to stress-related acidosis

    Ponni Rajagopal, Eric Tse ... Rachel E Klevit
    Small decreases in pH associated with cellular stress conditions unleash a cryptic mode of client binding in a ubiquitously expressed human small heat shock protein that is more effective at delaying client aggregation.

    Structural intermediates observed only in intact Escherichia coli indicate a mechanism for TonB-dependent transport

    Thushani D Nilaweera, David A Nyenhuis, David S Cafiso
    Pulse electron paramagnetic resonance on intact Escherichia coli reveals a substrate-induced structural transition in BtuB, the vitamin B12 transporter, which is not seen in reconstituted membranes and indicates a mechanism of transport.

    Dynamic basis of lipopolysaccharide export by LptB2FGC

    Marina Dajka, Tobias Rath ... Benesh Joseph
    LptC regulates the LPS entry gate in LptB2FG, likely through a dynamic behavior of its transmembrane helix, while the β-jellyroll domains are tethered in the periplasm.

    Ligand modulation of sidechain dynamics in a wild-type human GPCR

    Lindsay D Clark, Igor Dikiy ... Daniel M Rosenbaum
    Generation of a highly deuterated 13C-methyl labeled wild-type GPCR sample is used to facilitate characterization of the molecular environments and fast ps-ns dynamics of sidechains when the receptor is bound to ligands of different efficacy.

    The frequency gradient of human resting-state brain oscillations follows cortical hierarchies

    Keyvan Mahjoory, Jan-Mathijs Schoffelen ... Joachim Gross
    The strongest peak frequency of brain oscillations in a brain area decreases significantly, gradually and robustly along the posterior-anterior axis following the global hierarchy from early sensory to higher order areas.
