The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Neurokinin-1 Receptor Regulation of Fibroblast Phenotype and Function

Receptors
Injury to tissue induces the normal wound healing process to repair damage. This is a normal and critical response developed by the body to maintain short-term organ function, and therefore, survival.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Therapeutic Potential of Mineralocorticoid Receptors in Skeletal Muscle Aging

Receptors
Skeletal muscle aging, or sarcopenia, involves progressive muscle mass and function loss, which limits mobility and independence in elderly populations.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

The Binding and Effects of Boron-Containing Compounds on G Protein-Coupled Receptors: A Scoping Review

Receptors
Boron-containing compounds (BCCs) have emerged as potential drugs. Their drug-like effects are mainly explained by their mechanisms of action in enzymes.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

The State-of-the-Art Review on FSHR, LHCGR, AR, ESR1, and ESR2 Key Mutations and Their Impact on the Effectiveness of Infertility Therapies—What We Know So Far

Receptors
Mutations in hormone receptors significantly influence infertility and the outcomes of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). This review explores the functional interplay among mutations in FSHR, LHCGR, AR, ESR1, and ESR2 hormone receptors and their ...

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

G-Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 Limits CCL21-Induced T Cell Migration via Phospholipase Cγ1

Receptors
Background/Objectives: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can promote ligand-biased signaling, yet the mechanisms that promote bias are not well understood.
