Phosphorylation of Schizosaccharomyces pombe Dss1 mediates direct binding to the ubiquitin ‐ligase Dma1 in vitro
AbstractIntrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are often multifunctional and frequently posttranslationally modified. Deleted in split hand/split foot 1 (Dss1 —Sem1 in budding yeast) is a highly multifunctional IDP associated with a range of protein complexes. However, it remains unknown if the different functions relate to different modified states. In this work, we show thatSchizosaccharomyces pombe Dss1 is a substrate for casein kinase 2 in vitro, and we identify three phosphorylated threonines in its linker region separating two known disordered ubiquitin-binding motifs. Phosphorylations of the threonines had no ef...

Identification and expression of small multidrug resistance transporters in early ‐branching anaerobic fungi
In this study, we show that SMR transporters from anaerobic fungi can be produced heterologously in the model yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae, demonstrating the potential of these proteins as targets for further characterization. The discovery of these novel anaerobic fungal SMR transporters offers a promising path forward to enhance bioproduction from engineered microbial strains. (Source: Protein Science)

Cover Image
Metastable conformational states of the phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) enzyme are shown in the apo state (leftmost panels) and two inhibitor-bound states, the allosteric inhibitor evodiamine-bound PDE5 (middle panels), and the competitive inhibitor avanafil-bound PDE5 (rightmost panels). The conformational states correspond to minima in the free energy surfaces (top panels) labeled with blue, orange, and red dots.
