Nucleosome recognition by the SWR1C chromatin remodeling enzyme requires both nucleosomal acidic patches.

ESAT-6, a virulence factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, dimerizes at neutral pH and transitions to oligomers under acidic pH similar to that of lysosome, helping the bacterium evade host defense mechanisms.

A comprehensive analysis questioned the prevailing views of Src-mediated hPANX1 phosphorylation at Tyr199 and Tyr309.

Stramenopiles are unusual, because the pay-off phase of glycolysis occurs in mitochondria rather than the cytosol and the identified mitochondrial carrier links the two parts by transporting glycolytic intermediates.

During hibernation, animals remodel the structure of their relaxed muscle via a protein called myosin and this enables vast temperature changes.

Biochemical and structural analyses unravel how two RIG-I-like helicases function together to promote antiviral defense and illustrates the diverse ways innate immunity evolved.

Parallel chemical and physiological profiling of conspecific chemosensory communication in mice identifies both common and unique strategies for vomeronasal signaling of sex and strain.

A comprehensive allosteric model describes how inhibitors can activate rather than inhibit a target kinase by selectively driving formation of kinase dimers with one inhibited and one activated subunit.

Cancer metastasis modulator MEMO1 binds iron and is involved in regulating iron homeostasis in cancer cells.

Single molecule reconstitution of PI3Kβ synergistic activation reveals mechanism for rapid PI(3,4,5)P₃ production during immune cell signaling.
