    Endogenous oligomer formation underlies DVL2 condensates and promotes Wnt/β-catenin signaling

    Senem Ntourmas, Martin Sachs ... Dominic B Bernkopf
    Biochemical detection of endogenous, paralog-specific DVL2 complexes, molecular characterization of underlying protein domains and functional evidence for their importance extend the knowledge of Wnt pathway regulation through DVL2 biomolecular condensates.

    Reversing protonation of weakly basic drugs greatly enhances intracellular diffusion and decreases lysosomal sequestration

    Debabrata Dey, Shir Marciano ... Gideon Schreiber
    Poor intracellular availability and diffusion of weakly basic, small molecule drugs can be greatly enhanced by preventing ion trapping in crowded cellular environments.

    Identification of suitable target/E3 ligase pairs for PROTAC development using a rapamycin-induced proximity assay (RiPA)

    Bikash Adhikari, Katharina Schneider ... Elmar Wolf
    A rapamycin-induced proximity assay enables rapid identification of optimal E3 ligases for target protein degradation in living cells, streamlining early-stage proteolysis targeting chimera development.

    Synthesis and biological assessment of chalcone and pyrazoline derivatives as novel inhibitor for ELF3-MED23 interaction

    Soo-Yeon Hwang, Kyung-Hwa Jeon ... Youngjoo Kwon
    Structure-based designed chalcone and pyrazoline derivatives inhibited the ELF3-MED23 protein-protein interaction, leading to HER2 downregulation and retardation of tumor growth in HER2-positive gastric cancer.

    Minimal twister sister-like self-cleaving ribozymes in the human genome revealed by deep mutational scanning

    Zhe Zhang, Xu Hong ... Jian Zhan
    The minimal twister sister (TS)-like self-cleaving ribozymes, revealed by deep mutational scanning, represent some of the very few human/primate ribozymes.

    β-1,6-Glucan plays a central role in the structure and remodeling of the bilaminate fungal cell wall

    Clara Bekirian, Isabel Valsecchi ... Thierry Fontaine
    β-1,6-Glucan is crucial for Candida albicans cell wall structure and integrity, adapting dynamically to environmental stresses and compensating for mannan deficiencies in cell wall organization.

    Ligand response of guanidine-IV riboswitch at single-molecule level

    Lingzhi Gao, Dian Chen, Yu Liu
    A folding-function model for the guanidine-IV riboswitch under both guanidine-free and guanidine-present conditions offers valuable insights into its regulatory mechanism.

    The membrane domains of mammalian adenylyl cyclases are lipid receptors

    Marius Landau, Sherif Elsabbagh ... Joachim E Schultz
    The dodecahelical membrane anchors of mammalian adenylyl cyclase isoforms are receptors for unsaturated free fatty acids and, as a tonic signal, enhance or attenuate GPCR/Gsα-stimulated cyclic AMP formation.
