    Investigating the composition and recruitment of the mycobacterial ImuA′–ImuB–DnaE2 mutasome

    Sophia Gessner, Zela Alexandria-Mae Martin ... Digby F Warner
    The interaction of ImuB with the β sliding clamp is essential for induced mutagenesis in mycobacteria and could be a novel target for new anti-tuberculosis drugs designed to inhibit the emergence of genetic resistance.

    The intrinsically disordered cytoplasmic tail of a dendrite branching receptor uses two distinct mechanisms to regulate the actin cytoskeleton

    Daniel A Kramer, Heidy Y Narvaez-Ortiz ... Baoyu Chen
    The dendrite branching receptor HPO-30 modulates actin dynamics by binding to both WAVE complex and actin filaments.

    p38γ and p38δ modulate innate immune response by regulating MEF2D activation

    Alejandra Escós, Ester Diaz-Mora ... Ana Cuenda
    Generation and validation of a new mouse strain as a tool to demonstrate the implication of p38γ/p38δ in inflammation through the regulation of the transcription factor MEF2D’s activity.

    Structural insight into guanylyl cyclase receptor hijacking of the kinase–Hsp90 regulatory mechanism

    Nathanael A Caveney, Naotaka Tsutsumi, K Christopher Garcia
    Cryo-EM structures reveal GC-C associates with regulatory heat shock proteins similarly to bona fide protein kinases and this can guide the further development of mGC-targeted therapeutics.

    Structure of the connexin-43 gap junction channel in a putative closed state

    Chao Qi, Silvia Acosta Gutierrez ... Volodymyr M Korkhov
    Cryo-EM structures and molecular dynamics simulations of Cx43 gap junction channel and hemichannel reveal a putative closed state.

    Conformational regulation and target-myristoyl switch of calcineurin B homologous protein 3

    Florian Becker, Simon Fuchs ... Carola Hunte
    The target-myristoyl switch induced by protein-protein interaction is a novel regulatory mechanism for myristoylated EF-hand calcium-binding proteins, in which target binding facilitates exposure of the myristoyl anchor and the association to the lipid membrane in a calcium-independent manner.

    Phosphorylation of tyrosine 90 in SH3 domain is a new regulatory switch controlling Src kinase

    Lenka Koudelková, Markéta Pelantová ... Daniel Rösel
    The functional role of novel regulatory mechanism within prototypic oncogenic kinase c-Src is described with particular emphasis on cancer cell migration, invasiveness, oncogenic transformation, and multilevel regulation of Src itself.

    A critical evaluation of protein kinase regulation by activation loop autophosphorylation

    Ronja Reinhardt, Thomas A Leonard
    Understanding protein kinase regulation by activation loop autophosphorylation depends on a critical assessment of experimental design, execution, and interpretation.

    Cancer: How nearby nutrients shape tumor growth

    Nada Kalaany
    Studying the nutrient composition immediately surrounding pancreatic cancer cells provides new insights into their metabolic properties and how they can evade the immune system to promote disease progression.

    MYC overrides HIF-1α to regulate proliferating primary cell metabolism in hypoxia

    Courtney A Copeland, Benjamin A Olenchock ... William M Oldham
    Hypoxia does not increase glycolysis in proliferating primary cells and antagonizes the increase in glycolysis caused by activation of hypoxia-inducible factor in normoxia, in part, through activation of MYC signaling pathways.
