Cargo adaptors regulate stepping and force generation of mammalian dynein-dynactin. [PDF]
Cytoplasmic dynein is an ATP-driven motor that transports intracellular cargos along microtubules. Dynein adopts an inactive conformation when not attached to a cargo, and motility is activated when dynein assembles with dynactin and a cargo adaptor.

Cryo-EM structures of the eukaryotic replicative helicase bound to a translocation substrate
The Cdc45-MCM-GINS (CMG) helicase unwinds DNA during replication, a process that requires the ATPase-dependent activity of the MCM complex. Using cryo-EM reconstructions of the CMG complex in different conformations, the authors propose a model where the

Mammalian myosin I alpha, I beta, and I gamma: new widely expressed genes of the myosin I family. [PDF]
A polymerase chain reaction strategy was devised to identify new members of the mammalian myosin I family of actin-based motors. Using cellular RNA from mouse granular neurons and PC12 cells, we have cloned and sequenced three 1.2-kb polymerase chain ...

Proteasome Inhibitors: Harnessing Proteostasis to Combat Disease [PDF]
The proteasome is the central component of the main cellular protein degradation pathway. During the past four decades, the critical function of the proteasome in numerous physiological processes has been revealed, and proteasome activity has been linked

Spa47 is an oligomerization-activated type three secretion system (T3SS) ATPase from \u3cem\u3eShigella flexneri\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
Gram-negative pathogens often use conserved type three secretion systems (T3SS) for virulence. The Shigella type three secretion apparatus (T3SA) penetrates the host cell membrane and provides a unidirectional conduit for injection of effectors into host

Structural basis for substrate gripping and translocation by the ClpB AAA+ disaggregase. [PDF]
Bacterial ClpB and yeast Hsp104 are homologous Hsp100 protein disaggregases that serve critical functions in proteostasis by solubilizing protein aggregates.
