Nutrient copper signaling promotes protein turnover by allosteric activation of ubiquitin E2D conjugases

C. M. Opazo, A. Lotan, Z. Xiao, B. Zhang, M. A. Greenough, C. M. Lim, H. Trytell, A. Ramirez, A. A. Ukuwela, C. H. Mawal, J. McKenna, D. N. Saunders, R. Burke, P. R. Gooley, A. I. Bush

This paper shows that copper signaling modulates protein turnover by allosterically activating ubiquitin E2D conjugases, linking copper levels to protein degradation and morphogenesis.

Resistance to the antifungal activity of Aprotinin occurs through mutations in genes that function in cation homeostasis

A. I. McColl, R. Lowe, J. Mckenna, M. Anderson, M. Bleackley

This study identifies mutations in ptk2 and sky1 genes as the cause of resistance to the antifungal activity of aprotinin in S. cerevisiae by disrupting magnesium homeostasis.
