    Cryo-EM structure of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel illuminates mechanisms of assembly and gating

    Gregory M Martin, Craig Yoshioka ... Show-Ling Shyng
    Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy reveals the first subnanometer structure of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels, which provides insight into the structural mechanisms of channel assembly and gating.

    PPP1R15A-mediated dephosphorylation of eIF2α is unaffected by Sephin1 or Guanabenz

    Ana Crespillo-Casado, Joseph E Chambers ... David Ron
    The notion that the drug-like small molecule Sephin1 protects against protein misfolding by selectively disrupting a cellular phosphatase is refuted.

    Reverse translation of adverse event reports paves the way for de-risking preclinical off-targets

    Mateusz Maciejewski, Eugen Lounkine ... Laszlo Urban
    Careful analysis of adverse drug reaction reports reveals noise and biases embedded in this data and allows for systematic mitigation of these effects to produce much more robust understanding of side effects of marketed drugs.

    Structural basis for interdomain communication in SHIP2 providing high phosphatase activity

    Johanne Le Coq, Marta Camacho-Artacho ... Daniel Lietha
    The SHIP2 inositol phosphatase is an important upstream regulator of the Akt signaling pathway, which requires a catalytic core formed by the phosphatase domain tightly packed to a C2 domain for its function.

    Attenuation of dopamine-modulated prefrontal value signals underlies probabilistic reward learning deficits in old age

    Lieke de Boer, Jan Axelsson ... Marc Guitart-Masip
    Attenuated anticipatory activity in ventromedial prefrontal cortex is modulated by dopamine D1 receptor density in nucleus accumbens, and accounts for impaired probabilistic reward learning in older adults.

    Clearance of beta-amyloid is facilitated by apolipoprotein E and circulating high-density lipoproteins in bioengineered human vessels

    Jerome Robert, Emily B Button ... Cheryl L Wellington
    Modelling beta-amyloid deposition in bioengineered human vessels represents a notable advance to further investigate the role of the vasculature in Alzheimer's disease.

    AKT isoforms have distinct hippocampal expression and roles in synaptic plasticity

    Josien Levenga, Helen Wong ... Charles A Hoeffer
    Three distinct AKT isoforms are found in the brain and show dissimilar patterns of expression, differential roles in the expression of synaptic plasticity, and different roles in neuronal signaling.

    Glucose inhibits cardiac muscle maturation through nucleotide biosynthesis

    Haruko Nakano, Itsunari Minami ... Atsushi Nakano
    During cardiogenesis, the major role of glucose is not the catabolic extraction of energy but the anabolic biosynthesis of nucleotides.

    Molecular structure of human KATP in complex with ATP and ADP

    Kenneth Pak Kin Lee, Jue Chen, Roderick MacKinnon
    MgADP binding to the high-affinity 'consensus' ATPase active site of SUR1 and remodeling of the L0-loop (lasso region) overrides tonic ATP inhibition of KATP channels.

    Ensemble cryoEM elucidates the mechanism of insulin capture and degradation by human insulin degrading enzyme

    Zhening Zhang, Wenguang G Liang ... Wei-Jen Tang
    Integrative structural analyses of human insulin degradingenzyme (IDE) reveal how IDE selectively degrades peptides that form toxicaggregates, which guides IDE-based therapeutic innovations to treat diabetesand Alzheimer's disease.
