Atrophin recruits HDAC1/2 and G9a to modify histone H3K9 and to determine cell fates
Atrophin family proteins, including the vertebrate arginine–glutamic acid dipeptide repeats protein (RERE) and Drosophila Atrophin (Atro), constitute a new class of nuclear receptor corepressors. Both RERE and At...
Assembly of the three small Tim proteins precedes docking to the mitochondrial carrier translocase
The mitochondrial intermembrane space contains a family of small Tim proteins that function as essential chaperones for protein import. The soluble Tim9–Tim10 complex transfers hydrophobic precursor proteins thro...
Down to atomic-scale intracellular water dynamics
Water constitutes the intracellular matrix in which biological molecules interact. Understanding its dynamic state is a main scientific challenge, which continues to provoke controversy after more than 50 years of study....
Atypical ubiquitin chains: new molecular signals. ‘Protein Modifications: Beyond the Usual Suspects' Review Series
Ubiquitin (Ub) is a small protein modifier that regulates many biological processes, including gene transcription, cell-cycle progression, DNA repair, apoptosis, virus budding and receptor endocytosis. Ub can be conjugat...
Have we become overly reliant on lipid rafts? Talking Point on the involvement of lipid rafts in T-cell activation
During the past decade, the lipid-raft hypothesis has focused attention on the role of membrane domains in controlling cellular functions. Among the best-studied roles of lipid rafts is the regulation of T-cell signallin...
