SLC26A11 is an atypical solute carrier with dual transport-channel function mediating lysosomal sulfate transport

Abstract Membrane transporters and channels are generally assumed to be based on distinct structural and functional principles. SLC26A11, a solute carrier with high expression levels in the brain, has been proposed to function as either an anion transporter or a channel. Here, we resolve this apparent discrepancy by demonstrating that SLC26A11 is a dual-function protein capable of operating as both a sulfate transporter and a chloride channel.

The gene-regulating proteins NONO and SFPQ assemble into ordered filaments - Communications Biology

Abstract Proteins of the Drosophila behaviour/human splicing (DBHS) family are involved in many aspects of gene regulation and maintenance like transcription, splicing and DNA repair. DBHS proteins form obligate homo- and heterodimers through interactions within a globular domain and can further dynamically oligomerise through α-helical coiled-coils, which is crucial for many functions. While the atomic structures of the dimers are established, the arrangement in higher oligomers is unknown.

Mechanosensitive channel engineering: A study on the mixing and matching of YnaI and MscS sensor paddles and pores - Nature Communications

By Tim Rasmussen
| Nature Verified
Abstract Osmotically varying environments are challenging for bacterial cells. Sudden drops in osmolytes cause an increased membrane tension and rupture the cells in the absence of protective mechanisms. One family of protective proteins are mechanosensitive channels of small conductance that open in response to membrane tension. Although these channels have a common architecture, they vary widely in the number of transmembrane helices, conductivity, and gating characteristics.
