The Lateral Protein Cluster as a Key Component of Plant Cell Polarity

Cell polarity is an ancient organizing principle across kingdoms. As in animal epithelial cells, plant cells asymmetrically distribute proteins to establish functionally distinct membrane domains. In roots, radial polarity distinguishes inner and outer cell surfaces and supports directional nutrient transport, yet its...

Structural characterization of a pseudaminic acid-modified lateral flagellar filament from Vibrio alginolyticus

It is demonstrated that the Vibrio lateral flagellar filament is extensively modified by pseudaminic acid and that Maf is required for filament formation, the first structural characterization of a glycosylated Vibrio lateral flagellar filament and a close link between flagellin glycosylation and motility organelle ass...

RPL41 stabilizes ribosome dynamics and supports long-protein homeostasis in mammals

Cryo-electron microscopy reveals a conserved role for RPL41 in maintaining ribosome dynamics and translational fidelity, indicating that RPL41 supports ribosome function and long-protein homeostasis in mammals.

Role of Pbr1, a putative oxidoreductase, in the ER quality control and folding of yeast Fks1 glucan synthase

It is shown that PBR1 operates at the endoplasmic reticulum to support the folding and stability of Fks1, enabling proper cell-wall assembly and reveals an ER quality-control mechanism that enables constrained membrane proteins to fold efficiently and perform essential cellular functions.
