Molecular basis of Cyclin B1-CDK1 recruitment by MAD1

The paper identifies a non-canonical helical binding motif in MAD1 that specifically interacts with Cyclin B1 to recruit CDK1 to the SAC, revealing a mechanism for B-type cyclin recognition.

An Atlas of Short Linear Motif-Mediated Human Protein-Protein Interactions

The paper maps over 20,000 human protein-protein interactions mediated by short linear motifs using a peptide library screening approach.

High-throughput discovery and deep characterization of cyclin-CDK docking motifs

The paper identifies and characterizes cyclin-CDK docking motifs through high-throughput peptide binding assays and structural analysis, revealing a broader repertoire of motif types and binding mechanisms.

A quantitative intracellular peptide binding assay reveals recognition determinants and context dependence of short linear motifs

The paper introduces SIMBA, a functional assay to quantify SLiM binding, showing in vivo binding strength correlates with in vitro affinity and revealing context-dependent recognition determinants.

A novel multifunctional role for Hsp70 in binding post-translational modifications on clients

This paper uses cross-linking mass spectrometry to characterize Hsp70 interactions in budding yeast, revealing self-association, multi-point client interactions, and novel PTMs critical for client function.
