GID4, a subunit of the GID ubiquitin ligase, dynamically adapts to bind proline and non-proline N-terminal residues, and by virtue of a hybrid of conformational selection and induced fit pathway provides specificity to bind to its substrates. buff.ly/TvZH5Ak

Kampourakis et al design and validate Stabilizer, a synthetic high-affinity peptide that binds myosin S2, increases its mechanical stability, and offers a potential therapeutic strategy for heart muscle diseases. buff.ly/RxOa3if

OPEN ACCESS: New study combines FRAP and simulations to show that microtentacles in circulating tumor cells form via microtubule polymerization, not sliding, and that their curvature enhances adhesion to blood vessel walls. buff.ly/eBEIwlM

A new and bright yellow fluorescent protein is presented along with a comprehensive set of experimental methods designed to advance fluorescent protein engineering and characterization. buff.ly/XjorNtc

Korunova and colleagues develop a doxycycline-inducible genetically encoded multimeric (GEM) expression system for single-particle tracking, enabling controlled GEM expression for more accurate diffusivity measurements. buff.ly/tmGk2yU
