The fungal protein Jps1 facilitates unconventional protein secretion through a direct phosphoinositide interaction

This study identifies Jps1 as a key protein facilitating unconventional secretion in Ustilago maydis by interacting with phosphoinositides, revealing its structural and functional roles in Cts1 export.

Probing macromolecular crowding at the lipid membrane interface with genetically-encoded sensors

The paper develops a genetically-encoded fluorescence sensor to quantify macromolecular crowding at lipid membrane interfaces, finding that crowding effects depend on factors beyond molecular weight.

The periplasmic chaperone Skp prevents misfolding of the secretory lipase A from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

This study shows that Skp prevents misfolding of lipase A in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and facilitates its activation by LipH, with two binding modes identified.

Novel intracellular phospholipase B from Pseudomonas aeruginosa with activity towards endogenous phospholipids affects biofilm assembly

This paper identifies a novel phospholipase B from Pseudomonas aeruginosa that affects biofilm assembly by degrading phospholipids and regulating oligomerization.

Unsaturated fatty acids augment protein transport via the SecA:SecYEG translocon

This study shows that unsaturated fatty acids enhance SecA:SecYEG-mediated protein transport by altering the membrane interface and promoting SecA binding.
