A plant peptide hormone controls organ shedding by acting as molecular glue that promotes the interaction between two membrane receptor kinases.

Unlike other similar enzymes, the antimicrobial enzyme PlyC can interact with and translocate eukaryotic membranes, and then lyse and kill intracellular bacteria.

A structural investigation reveals details of the mechanism by which the nuclease RecJ processes DNA ends to repair double strand breaks.

An extensive interface between the proteins RBBP4 and MTA1 defines the three-dimensional architecture of the core NuRD complex and determines the recruitment of the complex to chromatin.

The recruitment of SH2-containing proteins to Epidermal Growth Factor in cells happens more slowly than predicted by in vitro techniques.

A general mechanism for how powerful forces of assembly and protein mobility can emerge from phase transitions is established.

A receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor forms dimers in the absence of its ligand, and ligand-binding leads to structural changes that result in increased kinase phosphorylation.

The EB binding region defines the length of the protective cap that stabilizes growing microtubules.

Structural and biochemical analysis of full-length huntingtin protein illuminates the impact of the polyglutamine region on its structure and function.
