The plant specific VPS2.2/HYADE of the ESCRT-III protein sorting machinery localizes to a secretory compartment and is required for cell division plane determination in Arabidopsis

This study identifies HYA, a plant-specific ESCRT-III component, as essential for cell division plane determination in Arabidopsis through its role in secretion.

A conserved cytoplasmic glutamic acid mediates pH-dependent gating in bacterial urea channel UreI

This study identifies a conserved cytoplasmic glutamic acid in UreI channels that mediates pH-dependent gating, challenging the notion that periplasmic residues are the sole pH sensors.

Clear Native Gel Electrophoresis for the Purification of Fluorescently Labeled Membrane Proteins in Native Nanodiscs

This paper introduces a method using charged polymer-encapsulated nanodiscs and FCS to purify fluorescently labeled membrane proteins in native-like lipid environments, avoiding aggregation and enabling structural studies.

Photolipid-mediated Kv Channel Gating

This paper shows that light-induced changes in membrane thickness modulate Kv channel activity by altering voltage sensor-lipid interactions.

The hidden intricacies of aquaporins: Remarkable details in a common structural scaffold

This study identifies key structural features of aquaporins through sequence, structural analysis, and simulations, revealing new insights into stability, selectivity, and mutation impact.

Substrate-engaged type III secretion system structures reveal gating mechanism for unfolded protein translocation

The paper reports the structure of an active Salmonella T3SS needle complex engaged with SptP, revealing the mechanism of unfolded protein translocation through the secretion conduit.

Structural control for the coordinated assembly into functional pathogenic type-3 secretion systems

This study reveals the structural control of type-3 secretion system assembly in Salmonella, showing how structural features guide the formation of a 24:16/15 basal body and regulate protein secretion.
