Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality controlâassociated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitinâlike modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulumâribosome quality control (ERâRQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ERâRQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...

Meta-evaluations in government and government institutions: A case study example from the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research [PDF]
In this paper we draw on impact assessment work of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) to present an example of meta-evaluation â an evaluation of evaluations â in an agricultural research, development and extension ...

Peptideâbased ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin
The structure of a peptideâbinding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by Xâray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+âcoordinated pocket. Structureâguided design incorporating Dâamino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing antiâadhesion therapeutics ...

Realâtime assay of ribonucleotide reductase activity with a fluorescent RNA aptamer
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNR) synthesize DNA building blocks de novo, making them crucial in DNA replication and drug targeting. FLARE introduces the first singleâtube realâtime coupled RNR assay, which enables isothermal tracking of RNR activity at nanomolar enzyme levels and allows the reconstruction of allosteric regulatory patterns and rapid ...

Disordered but rhythmicâthe role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse interâ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by postâtranslational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates â detection, function, and regulation
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Functionâdriven design of a surrogate interleukinâ2 receptor ligand
Interleukin (IL)â2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fineâtuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased ILâ2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in
