Kinesin‐Induced Buckling Reveals the Limits of Microtubule Self‐Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that kinesin‐driven buckling induces extensive microtubule lattice damage that often exceeds intrinsic self‐repair and leads to filament failure. While curvature, motor motility, and force individually cause limited damage, their combination overwhelms repair.

The Role of Chemistry Across Disciplines From Humanities to Life Sciences in Understanding Complexity and Emergence

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This study explores the origins of life by linking prebiotic chemistry, the emergence of information‐carrying molecules such as RNA and proteins, and philosophical questions about consciousness. The study emphasizes the role of molecular evolution in the Central Dogma and provides insights into the chemical origins of biology and the basis of life's ...

The hierarchical assembly of septins revealed by high-speed AFM

Nature Communications, 2020
Septins are GTP-binding proteins involved in diverse cellular processes including division, polarity maintenance and membrane remodeling. Here authors use high-speed atomic force microscopy to show that assembly of septin filaments is a diffusion-driven ...

Open and cut: allosteric motion and membrane fission by dynamin superfamily proteins. [PDF]

, 2019
Cells have evolved diverse protein-based machinery to reshape, cut, or fuse their membrane-delimited compartments. Dynamin superfamily proteins are principal components of this machinery and use their ability to hydrolyze GTP and to polymerize into ...

Translation termination depends on the sequential ribosomal entry of eRF1 and eRF3.

, 2019
Translation termination requires eRF1 and eRF3 for polypeptide-and tRNA-release on stop codons. Additionally, Dbp5/DDX19 and Rli1/ABCE1 are required; however, their function in this process is currently unknown.

Compensatory Interplay Between Clarin‐1 and Clarin‐2 Deafness‐Associated Proteins Governs Phenotypic Variability in Hearing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Functional compensation between clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 in cochlear hair cells. Hearing loss associated with CLRN1 mutations shows striking phenotypic variability; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study reveals that clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 function cooperatively in cochlear hair cells to sustain mechanoelectrical ...

Small‐Molecule Activation of mRNA Translation by Click‐to‐Release Reaction in Cells

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A new method to control mRNA activity using bioorthogonal click‐to‐release reactions is presented. The 5′ cap is modified with a trans‐cyclooctene (TCO) that quickly reacts with hydroxyaryl‐tetrazines and efficiently releases the native cap 0. TCO‐capped mRNAs are initially translationally inactive but can be activated with non‐toxic, cell‐permeable ...

Characterization of ROP GTPase-activated Arabidopsis receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCK class VI_A) [PDF]

, 2011
Plants have to respond and adapt to a variety of continuously changing environmental factors in order to establish an appropriate developmental strategy to ensure survival. There are ample data showing that protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation plays

MAPping out distribution routes for kinesin couriers [PDF]

, 2013
In the crowded environment of eukaryotic cells, diffusion is an inefficient distribution mechanism for cellular components. Long-distance active transport is required and is performed by molecular motors including kinesins.

Automatically Defining Protein Words for Diverse Functional Predictions Based on Attention Analysis of a Protein Language Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Understanding protein sequence–function relationships remains challenging due to poorly defined motifs and limited residue‐level annotations. An annotation‐agnostic framework is introduced that segments protein sequences into “protein words” using attention patterns from protein language models.
