Larsen D, Hari F, Clapperton J, Gwerder M, Gutsche K, Altmeyer M, et al.
Nat Cell Biol . 2014 Jul; 16(8):792-803. PMID: 25064736
Chromosome breakage elicits transient silencing of ribosomal RNA synthesis, but the mechanisms involved remained elusive. Here we discover an in trans signalling mechanism that triggers pan-nuclear silencing of rRNA transcription...

Cell Rep . 2014 Jul; 8(1):84-93. PMID: 24981866
FAN1 is a structure-selective DNA repair nuclease with 5' flap endonuclease activity, involved in the repair of interstrand DNA crosslinks. It is the only eukaryotic protein with a virus-type replication-repair...

Ben-Addi A, Mambole-Dema A, Brender C, Martin S, Janzen J, Kjaer S, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2014 Jun; 111(23):E2394-403. PMID: 24912162
The MEK-1/2 kinase TPL-2 is critical for Toll-like receptor activation of the ERK-1/2 MAP kinase pathway during inflammatory responses, but it can transform cells following C-terminal truncation. IκB kinase (IKK)...

Horejsi Z, Stach L, Flower T, Joshi D, Flynn H, Skehel J, et al.
Cell Rep . 2014 Mar; 7(1):19-26. PMID: 24656813
The R2TP cochaperone complex plays a critical role in the assembly of multisubunit machines, including small nucleolar ribonucleoproteins (snoRNPs), RNA polymerase II, and the mTORC1 and SMG1 kinase complexes, but...

Smerdon S
Sci Signal . 2014 Mar; 7(315):pe6. PMID: 24595107
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-like protein kinases (PIKKs) are large, atypical serine-threonine kinases that function in many important cellular signaling processes. Despite their prominence, and due to the complexity of their architecture...

Spivey V, Whalan R, Hirst E, Smerdon S, Buxton R
FEMS Microbiol Lett . 2013 Aug; 347(2):107-15. PMID: 23915284
The ATP-binding cassette transporter Rv1747 is required for the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in mice and in macrophages. Its structure suggests it is an exporter. Rv1747 forms a two-gene operon...

Science . 2013 Apr; 340(6134):871-5. PMID: 23579499
Scaffold-assisted signaling cascades guide cellular decision-making. In budding yeast, one such signal transduction pathway called the mitotic exit network (MEN) governs the transition from mitosis to the G1 phase of...
