ESCRT proteins organise stress-induced organelle contact between endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi

The paper shows ESCRT proteins, specifically Snf7 and Bro1, organize stress-induced ER-Golgi contacts in yeast by forming tubular ER subdomains and recruiting tethering proteins.

In-cell structural insights into fungal ER stress responses

This study uses structural biology techniques to show that ER stress in yeast increases inactive ribosomes and modulates elongation factors, suggesting modest translation inhibition as a stress response.

pytom-match-pick: a tophat-transform constraint for automated classification in template matching

pytom-match-pick improves template matching in cryo-ET by reducing false positives and enhancing macromolecule detection through PSF weighting and tophat transform techniques.

Structure of an oxygen-induced tubular nanocompartment in Pyrococcus furiosus

The paper identifies oxygen-induced tubular nanocompartments in Pyrococcus furiosus using proteomics and cryo-EM, revealing their structure and role in ROS protection.

Increased microtubule lattice spacing correlates with selective binding of kinesin-1 in cells

The paper shows that microtubule lattice spacing affects kinesin-1 binding, with expanded lattices preferentially bound by kinesin-1.

Structure and replication cycle of a virus infecting climate-modulating alga Emiliania huxleyi

This study characterizes the structure and replication cycle of EhV-201, a virus infecting the climate-modulating alga Emiliania huxleyi, revealing its unique mechanisms for bypassing host defenses and assembling progeny.

Sucrose-mediated translational stalling involves a conserved ribosomal pocket

The paper identifies a conserved ribosomal pocket involved in sucrose-mediated translational stalling across eukaryotes, revealing structural similarities with tryptophan and PF846-induced stalling mechanisms.

The Chlamydomonas mitochondrial ribosome: how to build a ribosome from RNA fragments

This study characterizes the mitoribosome structure and function in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, revealing its unique RNA assembly, protein components, and membrane attachment mechanisms.
