Direct and selective activation of TRPML2 promotes macrophage migration through release of CCL2.

Mathematical models reveal that under the physiologically different conditions ambient and high CO2, two algal microcompartments are metabolically connected by facilitated transport.

In Chlamydomonas the different stages of the Calvin-Benson cycle take place in separate locations within the chloroplast.

Insight into the mechanism of DNA synthesis is provided by the crystal structures of DNA polymerase intermediates.

Inflammatory bowel disease risk-gene, INAVA and the ARF-GEF ARNO, regulates non-canonical cortical actin assembly and IL-1b signaling to maintain epithelial homeostasis.

Internal dynamics play a crucial functional role in MarR (multiple antibiotic resistance repressor) proteins and their role reconciles the distinct allosteric mechanisms proposed previously.

The epigenetic regulator TET1 is regulated by the nutrient-sensing enzyme OGT in vitro and in cells.

Rigorous biophysical studies reconcile several conflicting views on how cGAS is activated, and present a new unifying allosteric activation mechanism.

A fast evolutionary approach to engineer membrane protein kinetic stability yields folded excitatory neurotransmitter transporters and provides insights into their denaturing pathway.

The evolution of the light-sensitive visual pigment rhodopsin involved functional tradeoffs that may have sacrificed rod photosensitivity for active-state protein stability to mitigate phototoxicity in tetrapods, but not in fishes.
