Metabolostasis failure thresholds are linked with network topology, metabolite solubility, and translational control

The paper identifies metabolite-specific failure thresholds in yeast linked to network topology, solubility, and translational control, revealing mechanisms of metabolic toxicity and resilience.

Oligosaccharyltransferase is involved in targeting to ER-associated degradation

The paper identifies oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) subunits as key interactors in ER-associated degradation (ERAD), suggesting a role in late stages of quality control beyond N-glycosylation.

Calcium regulation of the Arabidopsis Na+/K+ transporter HKT1;1 improves seed germination under salt stress

This study shows that calcium regulates HKT1;1 and PP2C49 in Arabidopsis seed germination, improving salt stress tolerance through Na+/K+ homeostasis.

Serine peptidases and increased amounts of soluble proteins contribute to heat priming of the plant pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea

This study identifies serine peptidases and protein solubility as key factors in heat priming of Botrytis cinerea, showing how temperature-based strategies can suppress fungal growth and disease.

Tomato brassinosteroid-signaling kinase Bsk830 is a component of flagellin signaling that regulates pre-invasion immunity

This study identifies Bsk830 as a tomato kinase involved in flagellin-triggered immunity, showing it regulates pre-invasion immunity and JA signaling.

Kynurenic acid, a key L-tryptophan-derived metabolite, protects the heart from an ischemic damage

This paper identifies kynurenic acid as a protective metabolite that enhances cardiac cell viability and mitochondrial function following ischemic damage.

Uncoating of COPII from ER exit site membranes precedes cargo accumulation and membrane fission

The paper shows that COPII uncoating occurs before cargo accumulation and membrane fission during ER to Golgi transport.
