    Fitness landscape of substrate-adaptive mutations in evolved amino acid-polyamine-organocation transporters

    Foteini Karapanagioti, Úlfur Águst Atlason ... Sebastian Obermaier
    Secondary active transporters can evolve to accommodate a broader range of substrates without losing their original substrate specificities.

    Mapping the molecular motions of 5-HT3 serotonin-gated channel by voltage-clamp fluorometry

    Laurie Peverini, Sophie Shi ... Pierre-Jean Corringer
    Conformational motions elicited by antagonists, partial agonists, and agonists in serotonin-gated ion channels 5-HT3AR progressively spread from the extracellular to the transmembrane domain.

    A novel bivalent interaction mode underlies a non-catalytic mechanism for Pin1-mediated protein kinase C regulation

    Xiao-Ru Chen, Karuna Dixit ... Tatyana I Igumenova
    Integrated biophysical, structural, and in-cell approaches demonstrate a non-canonical and non-isomerizable binding motif-dependent mode of protein kinase C regulation by the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1 in mammalian cells.

    Context-dependent modification of PFKFB3 in hematopoietic stem cells promotes anaerobic glycolysis and ensures stress hematopoiesis

    Shintaro Watanuki, Hiroshi Kobayashi ... Keiyo Takubo
    Isotope tracing, mathematical modeling, and single-cell ATP analysis reveal changes in blood cell metabolism under various conditions, showing stressed hematopoietic stem cells support hematopoiesis through glycolytic ATP production via PFKFB3.

    Sorting of secretory proteins at the trans-Golgi network by human TGN46

    Pablo Lujan, Carla Garcia-Cabau ... Felix Campelo
    TGN46 is a cargo receptor, with its luminal domain being necessary and sufficient to load soluble secretory proteins into transport carriers for export out of the trans-Golgi network.

    Epistasis between mutator alleles contributes to germline mutation spectrum variability in laboratory mice

    Thomas A Sasani, Aaron R Quinlan, Kelley Harris
    Germline mutation rates in mice are shaped by two mutator alleles that interact epistatically, showing that DNA repair defects that map to different loci can have snowballing effects.

    Disulfide bridge-dependent dimerization triggers FGF2 membrane translocation into the extracellular space

    Fabio Lolicato, Julia P Steringer ... Walter Nickel
    Disulfide-bridged fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) dimerization at the inner plasma membrane leaflet produces the building block for higher FGF2 oligomers that drive FGF2 membrane translocation into the extracellular space.

    Dual recognition of multiple signals in bacterial outer membrane proteins enhances assembly and maintains membrane integrity

    Edward M Germany, Nakajohn Thewasano ... Takuya Shiota
    Bacterial outer membrane proteins are recognized by BamD at specific signals located in multiple β-strands at the C-terminus of these proteins, and this recognition is important for efficient outer membrane protein assembly and maintaining the integrity of outer membrane.

    Dynamic landscape of the intracellular termini of acid-sensing ion channel 1a

    Megan M Cullinan, Robert C Klipp ... John R Bankston
    A novel FRET approach suggests that the intracellular termini of acid-sensing ion channel 1a do not form a complex at rest requiring a new hypothesis for ASIC1a involvement in stroke.

    Vicia faba SV channel VfTPC1 is a hyperexcitable variant of plant vacuole Two Pore Channels

    Jinping Lu, Ingo Dreyer ... Rainer Hedrich
    Polymorphic residues of a vacuolar Ca2+ sensor site in TPC1 channels differ between species of Brassicacea and Fabaceae and lead to distinct TPC1 gating behavior.
