FACS-based pooled CRISPR screening is a powerful forward genetic tool to interrogate cellular pathways and targets that modulate protein fate.

Single molecule experiments reveal competition between spliceosome activation and the discard of the triple small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complex.

Polymerase θ is among the most proficient terminal transferases known and switches between three different mechanisms of terminal transferase activity.

A combination of chloroplast transformation with nuclear transformation and large-scale metabolic screening of supertransformed plant lines has enabled an entire biochemical pathway to be transferred from a medicinal plant to a high-biomass crop.

Evidence is presented that supports a completely new, diffusion-driven mechanism for transporting proteins across membranes in bacteria.

Multimerization plays a functional role in EGFR activation and can be blocked by mutations in a specific region of Domain IV.

Allosteric modulation in the M2 muscarinic receptor derives from a mix of interactions within and between the protomers of an oligomer.

An ensemble of cryo-EM structures reveals how eukaryotic elongation factor 2 positions the first codon of a viral mRNA for translation.

Studies of EMRE, one of the four essential protein subunits in the mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex that regulates calcium ion levels in mitochondria, reveal new details about the physical interactions between the subunits.
