Four additions to the feathered family.

Metamorphic HORMA-domain proteins are essential components of meiotic chromosomes required for fertility. Here, the authors show that meiotic HORMADs contain a flexible loop region that is essential f...

Chloroplasts import thousands of nucleus-encoded proteins via multiprotein translocons. The authors elucidate the assembly and molecular architecture of the outer-membrane TOC translocon (the import “...

Umbrella sampling is a powerful tool to investigate the underlying free-energy landscapes that govern the permeation properties of small molecules through complex lipid bilayers. However, obtaining co...

piRNAs are an important genome regulatory mechanism conserved across metazoans. In the nematode C. elegans, piRNA biogenesis evolved several differences from other metazoans. Beltran et al. study the ...

We present a molecular dynamics simulation study of the E. coli ribose transporter protein B (RbsB), a conformationally labile protein found in the periplasm of the bacterium. The ribose transporter e...

Counteracting ligands stabilize glycine receptor states revealing mechanisms of pentameric ligand-gated channel allostery.
