FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

The Structure and Function of GLFGs in the Nuclear Pore Complex of Yeast [PDF]
, 2012 The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a large multiprotein complex which perforates the nuclear envelope. The NPC is made up of nuclear pore proteins (Nups), one third of which are phenylalanine-glycine (FG) containing.

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Pore-Forming Monopeptides as Exceptionally Active Anion Channels
, 2018 We describe here a unique family of pore-forming anion-transporting peptides possessing a single-amino-acid-derived peptidic backbone that is the shortest among natural and synthetic pore-forming peptides.

Structural plasticity of the nuclear pore complex
Journal of Molecular Biology, 1995 The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is strategically located at continuous junctions of the inner and outer nuclear membranes to catalyze macromolecular transport, without impending the diffusion of small molecules. In this paper, the structural plasticity of 4412 NPCs in isolated nuclear envelopes has been evaluated, utilizing correspondence analysis ...

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Trade-off between Pore-Throat Structure and Mineral Composition in Modulating the Stability of Soil Organic Carbon [PDF]
The preservation of soil organic carbon (OC) is an effective way to decelerate the emission of CO2 emission. However, the coregulation of pore structure and mineral composition in OC stabilization remains elusive.

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...
