    Tuning site-specific dynamics to drive allosteric activation in a pneumococcal zinc uptake regulator

    Daiana A Capdevila, Fidel Huerta ... David P Giedroc
    Internal dynamics play a crucial functional role in MarR (multiple antibiotic resistance repressor) proteins and their role reconciles the distinct allosteric mechanisms proposed previously.

    A cryptic K48 ubiquitin chain binding site on UCH37 is required for its role in proteasomal degradation

    Jiale Du, Sandor Babik ... Eric Strieter
    The proteasomal deubiquitinase UCHL5/UCH37 uses a face distinct from the canonical ubiquitin binding site to engage K48-linked ubiquitin chains and catalyze chain debranching.
