Lock, relax, load, and shoot: a molecular perspective on Nedd4 regulation
Structural basis of inactive and active states of the Nedd4 HECT E3 ligase subfamily, following a ‘lock, relax, load, and shoot’ mechanism. In the locked, autoinhibited state, intramolecular domain interactions restrain the HECT domain. Relaxation releases these restraints, allowing loading of ubiquitin onto the catalytic cysteine, followed by the ...

Harnessing S. cerevisiae to advance the engineering of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins
Heterologous expression systems have been instrumental in furthering our understanding of plant RNA editing proteins. In this commentary, we discuss how the establishment of yeast as a model for studying plant RNA editing by Ramanathan et al. could advance the engineering of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins, and how in return pentatricopeptide repeat ...

Proteostasis of organelles in aging and disease
Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to keep their internal compartments functioning properly. When these mechanisms fail, damaged proteins accumulate, disrupting organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and lysosomes, as well as membraneless organelles, such as stress granules, processing bodies, the ...

Mechanistic insights into HapC: A key enzyme in prodiginine biosynthesis in Hahella chejuensis
HapC catalyzes prodiginine biosynthesis through coordinated movements of its ATP‐binding, substrate‐binding, and catalytic‐swivel domains. The enzyme shows tolerance toward short‐chain MAP analogs, and docking analyses reveal key residues and structural features underlying its substrate flexibility.

Ultrafast python‐integrated single‐entity electrochemical sensor for detecting glycated albumin
Traditional biosensors suffer from the fact that recognition receptors are immobilised and that they denature on electrodes. Instead here we use receptors freely in solution, minimising surface compression and preserving activity to boost signal efficiency. Python‐driven processing turns the electrochemical response into a rapid, robust readout.
