  • Cryptochromes are important components of biological clocks. Here, the authors uncover that a cryptochrome that enables synchronization of the reproduction of marine worms to the lunar cycle uses an inverse photo-oligomerization mechanism.

  • This work provides a molecular understanding of inhibitory postsynaptic densities formed by the gephyrin protein. Cryo-electron microscopy visualizes how receptor binding, dimerization, and filament formation induce phase condensation at the synapse.

  • The prenyl-binding protein PrBP/δ is a solubilization factor involved in trafficking of prenylated proteins. Here the authors present the ligand-free apo-PrBP/δ structure and propose a "solubilization by depletion" mechanism, where PrBP/δ sequesters only soluble rod photoreceptor phosphodiesterase (PDE6), leading to a dissociation of membrane-bound PDE6.

  • Eukaryotic initiation factor 5b (eIF5B) is essential for translation initiation. Spahn and colleagues now report cryo-EM structures of the mammalian 80S initiation complex associated with eIF5B that redefine eIF5B as a tRNA reorientation factor.
