Structure and efflux mechanism of the yeast pleiotropic drug resistance transporter Pdr5
Abstract: Pdr5, a member of the extensive ABC transporter superfamily, is representative of a clinically relevant subgroup involved in pleiotropic drug resistance. Pdr5 and its homologues drive drug efflux through uncoupled...

Structural insight into mitochondrial β-barrel outer membrane protein biogenesis
Abstract: In mitochondria, β-barrel outer membrane proteins mediate protein import, metabolite transport, lipid transport, and biogenesis. The Sorting and Assembly Machinery (SAM) complex consists of three proteins that assemble...

Juxtaposition of Bub1 and Cdc20 on phosphorylated Mad1 during catalytic mitotic checkpoint complex assembly.
In response to improper kinetochore-microtubule attachments in mitosis, the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) assembles the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC) to inhibit the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome, thereby delaying...

Mechanisms underlying TARP modulation of the GluA1/2-γ8 AMPA receptor.
AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) mediate rapid signal transmission at excitatory synapses in the brain. Glutamate binding to the receptor's ligand-binding domains (LBDs) leads to ion channel activation and desensitization....

Higher-order phosphatase–substrate contacts terminate the integrated stress response
Abstract: Many regulatory PPP1R subunits join few catalytic PP1c subunits to mediate phosphoserine and phosphothreonine dephosphorylation in metazoans. Regulatory subunits engage the surface of PP1c, locally affecting flexible...

Structure and dynamics of Toll immunoreceptor activation in the mosquito Aedes aegypti.
Aedes aegypti has evolved to become an efficient vector for arboviruses but the mechanisms of host-pathogen tolerance are unknown. Immunoreceptor Toll and its ligand Spaetzle have undergone duplication which may allow...

Donor-strand exchange drives assembly of the TasA scaffold in Bacillus subtilis biofilms.
Many bacteria in nature exist in multicellular communities termed biofilms, where cells are embedded in an extracellular matrix that provides rigidity to the biofilm and protects cells from chemical and mechanical stresses. In...
