CORNICHON sorting and regulation of GLR channels underlie pollen tube Ca2+ homeostasisCompared to animals, evolution of plant calcium (Ca 2+ ) physiology has led to a loss of proteins for influx and small ligand–operated control of cytosolic Ca 2+ , leaving many Ca 2+ mechanisms unaccounted for. Here, we show a mechanism for sorting and activation of glutamate receptor–like channels (GLRs) by CORNICHON HOMOLOG (CNIH) proteins. Single mutants of pollen-expressed Arabidopsis thalian

Activation mechanism of a human SK-calmodulin channel complex elucidated by cryo-EM structuresSmall-conductance Ca 2+ -activated K + (SK) channels mediate neuron excitability and are associated with synaptic transmission and plasticity. They also regulate immune responses and the size of blood cells. Activation of SK channels requires calmodulin (CaM), but how CaM binds and opens SK channels has been unclear.

Enhanced thermal stability of nanograined metals below a critical grain sizeThe limitation of nanograined materials is their strong tendency to coarsen at elevated temperatures.

Researchers levitate water droplets to improve contaminant detectionIn a new study, researchers showed that using sound waves to levitate droplets of water in midair can improve the detection of harmful heavy metal contaminants such as lead and mercury in water. Detecting small amounts of heavy metals in water is important because these contaminants are harmful to human health and the environment. The new technique could eventually lead to instruments that perform
