    PDZ-directed substrate recruitment is the primary determinant of specific 4E-BP1 dephosphorylation by PP1-Neurabin

    Roman O Fedoryshchak, Karim El-Bouri ... Richard Treisman
    Proteomics with PP1-Neurabin fusion proteins identify the 4E-BP proteins as novel Neurabin/PP1 substrates, and interaction with the Neurabin PDZ domain shown to be the major determinant of Neurabin/PP1 substrate specificity.

    A general mechanism for initiating the bacterial general stress response

    Rishika Baral, Kristin Ho ... Niels Bradshaw
    A coiled-coil-based transduction mechanism is identified for a serine/threonine phosphatase that controls a bacterial stress response, suggesting that phosphatases are part of a modularly exchangeable toolkit for bacterial signaling.
