A Universal Allosteric Mechanism for G Protein Activation

This paper identifies a conserved Gly-Arg-Glu motif that mediates G protein subunit dissociation through an allosteric mechanism, and shows that mutations in this motif cause human diseases.

Potassium starvation induces autophagy in yeast

The paper identifies potassium starvation as a new inducer of autophagy in yeast and shows it requires specific autophagy-related genes and pathways.
