    Control of 3′ splice site selection by the yeast splicing factor Fyv6

    Katherine A Senn, Karli A Lipinski ... Aaron A Hoskins
    The Saccharomyces cerevisiae spliceosome component Fyv6 contributes to precursor messenger RNA splicing by promoting use of branch site distal 3' splice sites and interacting with key factors involved in exon ligation.

    Isoleucine gate blocks K+ conduction in C-type inactivation

    Werner Treptow, Yichen Liu ... Benoit Roux
    The conformation of an isoleucine gate located along the TM6 segment on the intracellular side below the selectivity filter is a critical component leading to a non-conductive state in the C-type inactivation process of K+ channels.
