  Inhibition of Sec61-dependent translocation by mycolactone uncouples the integrated stress response from ER stress, driving cytotoxicity via translational activation of ATF4 

  Ogbechi, J; Hall, BS; Sbarrato, T; Taunton, J; Willis, AE; Wek, RC; Simmonds, RE (Springer Nature, 2018-03-14)

  Mycolactone is the exotoxin virulence factor of Mycobacterium ulcerans that causes the neglected tropical disease Buruli ulcer. We recently showed it to be a broad spectrum inhibitor of Sec61-dependent co-translational ...

  Isolated pores dissected from human two-pore channel 2 are functional. 

  Penny, Christopher J; Rahman, Taufiq; Sula, Altin; Miles, Andrew J; Wallace, BA; Patel, Sandip (Nature Publishing Group, 2016-12-12)

  Multi-domain voltage-gated ion channels appear to have evolved through sequential rounds of intragenic duplication from a primordial one-domain precursor. Whereas modularity within one-domain symmetrical channels is ...
