A Novel Interaction Between Aquaporin 1 and Caspase-3 in Pulmonary Arterial Smooth Muscle Cells

The paper identifies a novel interaction between aquaporin-1 and caspase-3 in PASMCs, showing AQP1 levels correlate with caspase-3 activity.

Phosphorylation-dependent sub-functionalization of the calcium-dependent protein kinase CPK28

This study identifies a phosphorylation site in CPK28 that differentially regulates its function in immune homeostasis and stem elongation in Arabidopsis.

The Pleiades cluster of fungal effector genes inhibit 1 host defenses

The paper identifies a cluster of ten fungal effector genes in Ustilago maydis that suppress host reactive oxygen species production, impair virulence, and target different host components.

Phosphorylation of the exocyst subunit Exo70B2 contributes to the regulation of its function

This study shows that phosphorylation of Exo70B2 regulates its function in secretion and immunity by modulating its localization and interaction with the secretory pathway.

Wine yeast phenomics: a standardized fermentation method for assessing quantitative traits of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains in enological conditions.

This paper develops a small-scale fermentation method to assess quantitative traits of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains in enological conditions, showing it accurately captures kinetic parameters and metabolite production.
