The determination of GAGases structure facilitates the elucidation of the catalytic mechanism of PL35 family lyases and provides potential evidence for the hypothesis that GAG lyase evolved from alginate lyase.
A cross-talk is revealed between two branches of metabolisms, amino acid limitation suppressing fatty acid biosynthesis, via posttranslational modifications of an enzyme involved in fatty acid biosynthesis.

Cyclin D1–CDK4/6 phosphorylates GTSE1 in cancer cells, preventing its degradation and sustaining high levels across the cell cycle, which enhances proliferation and correlates with poor prognosis.
The thickness of the periplasmic region is reduced in strains of pneumococcus that are deleted in genes responsible for the incorporation of teichoic acid in the cell envelope.
Kinetic measurements of kinesin-1's front and rear heads reveal how different neck linker orientation regulate their activity, enabling the motor protein to move in a coordinated manner along microtubules.
