Molecular Insights into Fungal Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Transamidase Complex
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) biosynthesis pathway is critical for antifungal drug development. This study reports three cryo‐electron microscopy structures of fungal GPI transamidase (GPIT), captured in two substrate‐bound states and a novel dimeric assembly.

The Phospholamban (PLN) R9C mutation reduces SERCA2a binding, increasing calcium recycling and baseline contractility. However, the excess of free PLN promotes pentamer formation, limiting phosphorylation and blunting β‐adrenergic signaling. Under cardiac stress, enhanced functional demands overwhelm proteostasis in PLN R9C cells, leading to misfolded ...

REEP1 contributes to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) shaping. Variants either cause cortical motoneuron degeneration and hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) or spinal motoneuron degeneration and distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN). Knockout causes less complex ER structures and cortical motoneuron loss.

Soybean Auxin Transporter PIN3 Regulates Nitrate Acquisition to Improve Nitrogen Use and Seed Traits
Xu et al. discovers that switching off auxin transporters in soybean, PIN3a and PIN3b, disrupts auxin flow; this triggers ARF‐STF3/4 signal cascade to activate the nitrate importer NPF2.13 and soil nitrogen acquisition. Multi‐year field trials show edited soybeans maintain yield with higher oil content, offering a potential genetic route to improve ...

Summary diagram for the role of CypA in chemoresistance in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). CypA is overexpressed in chemoresistance NSCLC and drives therapeutic evasion by competitively binding to the K37 site of SLC7A11, thereby blocking TRIM3 mediated K11‐linked ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, ultimately inhibiting lipid peroxidation ...
