Molecular architecture and spatial organization of proteasomes in the human sperm nucleus

Proteasomes are essential for male fertility. Kolata, dos Santos, Dendooven and colleagues show large nuclear proteasomal assemblies segregated from DNA in human sperm, forming after meiosis and with a unique α4s isoform. A native substrate is bound at the 20S catalytic site.

A single-amino-acid cleavage controls global mitochondrial complex integrity

Kücükköse, Luzarowski and colleagues show that removing a single N-terminal amino acid during the maturation of newly imported mitochondrial proteins globally stabilizes mitochondrial protein complexes, revealing an unexpected layer of regulation of mitochondrial proteostasis.

l-Glutamine in combination with first-line gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: an open-label, single-arm, phase 1 GlutaPanc trial

In this open-label, single-arm, phase 1 GlutaPanc trial, Gong and colleagues report the safety and feasibility of l-glutamine in participants with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and determine the recommended phase 2 dose of l-glutamine in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel.

Structural and mechanistic insights into gating and allosteric modulation of GluN1–GluN3A NMDA receptors

Kim et al. present cryo-EM structures of GluN1–GluN3A NMDA receptors with complementary electrophysiology, revealing structure-based mechanisms of receptor gating, paradoxical potentiation by a GluN1-selective antagonist and allosteric modulation.

Galanin impairs tumor immunity in glioblastoma by promoting infiltration and ferroptosis resistance of myeloid-derived suppressor cells

Chen and colleagues report that the neuropeptide galanin impairs antitumor immunity in glioblastoma by interacting with its receptor GALR3 on monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells, promoting their infiltration and ferroptosis resistance.
