DNA gyrase, a regulator of bacterial genomes topology, is shown to undergo rearrangements while functioning on DNA in vitro, with important potential consequences for gyrase-targeted antibiotics activity and bacterial evolution.

A novel targeted protein degradation system to achieve cell-type-specific enhancement of Wnt signaling.

SARS-CoV-2 infection reduces the intracellular levels of a human tRNA modification enzyme and alters host tRNA modification profiles.

Nucleosome recognition by the SWR1C chromatin remodeling enzyme requires both nucleosomal acidic patches.

ESAT-6, a virulence factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, dimerizes at neutral pH and transitions to oligomers under acidic pH similar to that of lysosome, helping the bacterium evade host defense mechanisms.

Stramenopiles are unusual, because the pay-off phase of glycolysis occurs in mitochondria rather than the cytosol and the identified mitochondrial carrier links the two parts by transporting glycolytic intermediates.

A comprehensive analysis questioned the prevailing views of Src-mediated hPANX1 phosphorylation at Tyr199 and Tyr309.

During hibernation, animals remodel the structure of their relaxed muscle via a protein called myosin and this enables vast temperature changes.

Parallel chemical and physiological profiling of conspecific chemosensory communication in mice identifies both common and unique strategies for vomeronasal signaling of sex and strain.
