Activation of the Plasmodium egress effector subtilisin-like protease 1 is achieved by plasmepsin X destruction of the propiece.

This paper identifies that plasmepsin X (PM X) activates Plasmodium subtilisin-like protease 1 (SUB1) by cleaving its inhibitory propiece, enabling SUB1 to function without requiring conversion to its p47 form.

Native structure of the RhopH complex, a key determinant of malaria parasite nutrient acquisition

The paper determines the native structure of the RhopH complex from malaria parasites using cryo-EM and mass spectrometry, revealing insights into its assembly and trafficking.

Total mercury concentrations in invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles) from the Atlantic coast of Florida

This study measures total mercury concentrations in invasive lionfish from Florida, finding higher levels with size and location, but lower than other marine fishes, suggesting low risk for human consumption.

The evolution of human SIRT1 for multi-specificity is enabled by active-site adaptation

This study investigates the molecular basis and evolution of multi-specificity in SIRT1, finding that active-site adaptations enable the inclusion of p53 as a substrate.

Dispersal dynamics and local filtering vary with climate across a grassland landscape

The paper examines how dispersal dynamics and local filtering shape vegetation patterns across grassland sites with varying climates, finding that local filtering strength increases with temperature and climate-based niche differences affect species performance.
