The article by Beatriz Herguedas Francés (and Javier García Nafría) entitled Architecture of the heteromeric GluA1/2 AMPA receptor in complex with the auxiliary subunit TARP gamma8, published in the journal Science, has been chosen as article of the month in the Biophysics Magazine of the Spanish Biophysics Society. This article describes the mechanisms of function of a heteromeric AMPA receptor complex, responsible for nerve impulse transmission between neurons and highly involved in memory formation. See more information here.
DECEMBER 2018
The article by Pedro Latorre Muro (José Alberto Carrodeguas), Dynamic acetylation of cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase toggles enzyme activity between gluconeogenic and anaplerotic reactions, published in the journal Molecular Cell, was chosen article of the month by the Spanish Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The article describes how acetylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitination act in a coordinated manner to regulate the activity of the enzyme fofoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, which is involved in glucose synthesis and is related to pathologies such as diabetes and cancer.
