Polar‐localized EXO70G1 regulates root development in Arabidopsis thaliana
The putative exocyst subunit EXO70G1 exhibits apical‐basal polarity in Arabidopsis root cells; this polarity stabilizes membrane domains to facilitate targeting of the auxin transporter PIN‐FORMED2 during root development. ABSTRACT Cellular asymmetry, which represents a fundamental characteristic of cell polarity, is prominently illustrated by the ...

Ectopic A-lattice seams destabilize microtubules [PDF]
Natural microtubules typically include one A-lattice seam within an otherwise helically symmetric B-lattice tube. It is currently unclear how A-lattice seams influence microtubule dynamic instability.

The seminal Michaelis–Menten theorization for biological catalysis was based on “transition state” (TS), involving the formation of a topologically complementary substrate (S) and enzyme (E) complex (ES) at the “active site” of the latter. Rudolph Marcus put forth the theory of outer sphere electron transfer (ET) in a “donor–acceptor” TS complex, which

Neck linker docking is critical for Kinesin-1 force generation in cells but at a cost to motor speed and processivity. [PDF]
Kinesin force generation involves ATP-induced docking of the neck linker (NL) along the motor core. However, the roles of the proposed steps of NL docking, cover-neck bundle (CNB) and asparagine latch (N-latch) formation, during force generation are ...

An integrated native mass spectrometry and top-down proteomics method that connects sequence to structure and function of macromolecular complexes. [PDF]
Mass spectrometry (MS) has become a crucial technique for the analysis of protein complexes. Native MS has traditionally examined protein subunit arrangements, while proteomics MS has focused on sequence identification.

cGAS Inhibits ALDH2 to Suppress Lipid Droplet Function and Regulate MASLD Progression
cGAS is a cytosolic DNA sensor known for innate immune defense. cGAS binds and suppresses ALDH2 are showed, limiting acetyl‐CoA production. cGAS loss activates ALDH2, promoting histone acetylation, lipogenesis, and lipid droplets accumulation. cGas‐/‐ mice on a high‐fat diet show signs of worsened MASLD.

Cancer Biology of GSPT1: Mechanisms and Targeted Therapy Opportunities of Molecular Glue Degraders
This review systemically summarizes the structure, expression, regulatory networks, and isoform‐specific signaling of GSPT1 in cancers. According to the integration of GSPT1 targeted therapies, current challenges of GSPT1 targeted therapies are further analyzed, and provide therapeutic opportunities for the application of GSPT1 degraders in precision ...

FtsZ, a bacterial tubulin homologue, is a cytoskeletal protein that assembles into protofilaments that are one subunit thick. These protofilaments assemble further to form a “Z ring” at the center of prokaryotic cells. The Z ring generates a constriction
