Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

X-ray structure of a putative reaction intermediate of 5-aminolaevulinic acid dehydratase [PDF]
The X-ray structure of yeast 5-aminolaevulinic acid dehydratase, in which the catalytic site of the enzyme is complexed with a putative cyclic intermediate composed of both substrate moieties, has been solved at 0.16 nm (1.6 Å) resolution.

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

N-{(Z)-3-Oxo-3-[(E)-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)diazenyl]-1-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-1-en-2-yl}benzamide
In the title compound, C20H16N4O2S, the thiophene ring subtends dihedral angles of 58.6 (3) and 9.8 (3)° with the benzamide and pyridine rings, respectively, whereas these two rings are inclined to one another by 59.3 (3)°. There is an intramolecular C—H.

Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Site-directed mutagenesis and X-ray crystallography of two phospholipase A2 mutants: Y52F and Y73F [PDF]
Tyr52 and Tyr73 are conserved amino acid residues throughout all vertebrate phospholipases A2. They are part of an extended hydrogen bonding system that links the N-terminal α-NH3+-group to the catalytic residues His48 and Asp99.

Combined scanning small-angle X-ray scattering and holography probes multiple length scales in cell nuclei [PDF]
X‐rays are emerging as a complementary probe to visible‐light photons and electrons for imaging biological cells. By exploiting their small wavelength and high penetration depth, it is possible to image whole, intact cells and resolve subcellular ...

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.
