    Z-REX uncovers a bifurcation in function of Keap1 paralogs

    Alexandra Van Hall-Beauvais, Jesse R Poganik ... Yimon Aye
    Two zebrafish Keap1-paralogs are equally adept at electrophile-sensing but manifest divergent and co-regulatory electrophile-signaling behaviors.

    N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader Pho92 is recruited co-transcriptionally and couples translation to mRNA decay to promote meiotic fitness in yeast

    Radhika A Varier, Theodora Sideri ... Folkert J van Werven
    N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader Pho92 is directed by Paf1C to meiotic mRNAs in an m6A-dependent and independent manner and promotes CCR4-NOT-mediated mRNA decay of m6A modified transcripts contingent on translation.

    Molecular basis of the PIP2-dependent regulation of CaV2.2 channel and its modulation by CaV β subunits

    Cheon-Gyu Park, Wookyung Yu, Byung-Chang Suh
    The anchoring properties of CaV β2 subunits to the plasma membrane determine the biophysical states of CaV2.2 channels by regulating PIP2 coupling to the nonspecific phospholipid-binding site in the I–II loop.
