Integrative structural analysis of human endosomal NHE6 reveals a lipid-associated gate and disordered C-terminus

The integrative structural model of full-length HsNHE6 provides a framework for understanding HsNHE6-mediated ion exchange and its disruption in Christianson syndrome and shows a kinetic preference for K+ over Na+ transport.

Multisite Threonine Phosphorylation in the SPT5 C‑Terminal Region 1 Enables Sequence-Dependent Regulation without Global Structural Remodeling

This work establishes that multisite phosphorylation of the SPT5 CTR1 domain modulates a heterogeneous interaction landscape shaped by sequence context, and emphasizes the nontrivial difference between serine and threonine phosphorylation as a mechanism to regulate disordered protein structure–function relationships.

Inter-domain distance analysis reveals conformational changes in the Keap1-Nrf2 stress sensor system

The Keap1-Nrf2 system plays a central role in cellular defense against oxidative stress. Structural information on full-length Keap1 is essential for understanding the molecular basis of this regulation. However, its overall architecture has remained elusive due to pronounced conformational flexibility. In this study,...

Ser715 Phosphorylation Induces β-Hairpin Unfolding and Destabilization of FOXM1 Autoinhibition.

A phosphorylation-triggered order-to-disorder transition that relieves FOXM1 autoinhibition and highlight Ser715 as a key structural and energetic switch is supported and provided a dynamic molecular framework for targeting FOXM1 activation via its regulatory fold.

The Z-shaped N-terminal Domain of Atg11 Coordinates Atg9 Binding and Recruitment in Selective Autophagy

Macroautophagy is a conserved catabolic process that facilitates the degradation of cellular material by capturing it in double membrane vesicles termed autophagosomes. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, selective macroautophagy is initiated by the scaffolding protein Atg11. Atg11 recruits the transmembrane protein Atg9, whi...

Dynamic Filament Assembly Regulates the Prolyl Aminopeptidase Activity of Plant Immune Protein DM3

It is shown that DM3 reversibly assembles into higher-order filaments in a salt-sensitive manner, which reveals how structural plasticity in protein assemblies enables a single protein to coordinate multiple stress-response functions, highlighting a general mechanism for regulating protein activity in plants.
