Structure of the CLC-1 chloride channel from Homo sapiens. [PDF]
, 2018 CLC channels mediate passive Cl- conduction, while CLC transporters mediate active Cl- transport coupled to H+ transport in the opposite direction. The distinction between CLC-0/1/2 channels and CLC transporters seems undetectable by amino acid sequence.

RIPK4 function interferes with melanoma cell adhesion and metastasis
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.RIPK4 promotes melanoma growth and spread. RIPK4 levels increase as skin lesions progress to melanoma. CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated deletion of RIPK4 causes melanoma cells to form less compact spheroids, reduces their migratory and invasive abilities and limits tumour growth and dissemination in mouse models.

N-terminal tagging of RNA Polymerase II shapes transcriptomes more than C-terminal alterations
iScienceSummary: RNA polymerase II (Pol II) has a C-terminal domain (CTD) that is unstructured, consisting of a large number of heptad repeats, and whose precise function remains unclear.

Engineered gene networks enable non-genetic drug resistance and enhanced cellular robustness
Engineering Biology, 2019 Drug resistance complicates the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases, and often arises from the elevated expression of a gene that neutralises or reduces drug activity.

An unfolded protein-induced conformational switch activates mammalian IRE1. [PDF]
, 2017 The unfolded protein response (UPR) adjusts the cell's protein folding capacity in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) according to need. IRE1 is the most conserved UPR sensor in eukaryotic cells.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Tandem VHH targeting distinct EGFR epitopes were engineered into a monovalent bispecific antibody (7D12‐EGA1‐Fc) with more potent ADCC without increasing affinity to EGFR. Structural modeling of 7D12‐EGA1‐Fc showed cross‐linking of separate EGFR domains to enhance CD16a engagement on NK cells.

Structural insight into TPX2-stimulated microtubule assembly [PDF]
, 2017 During mitosis and meiosis, microtubule (MT) assembly is locally upregulated by the chromatin-dependent Ran-GTP pathway. One of its key targets is the MT-associated spindle assembly factor TPX2.

The Aging Blood: Cellular Origins, Circulating Drivers, and Therapeutic Potential
Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.As a conduit linking all organs, the blood system both reflects and actively drives systemic aging. This review highlights how circulating pro‐aging and antiaging factors and age‐associated hematopoietic stem cell dysfunction contribute to immunosenescence and multi‐organ decline, positioning the hematopoietic system as a target for aging intervention.
