14-3-3 proteins are interactors of the kinase LRRK2

In this paper, Jeremy Nichols, Dario Alessi and colleagues provide the first evidence that two serine residues (Ser⁹¹⁰ and Ser⁹³⁵) are critically responsible for the binding of 14-3-3 proteins to LRRK2 (leucine-rich repeat protein kinase 2), the kinase that is mutated in a significant number of PD (Parkinson's disease) patients, a finding which has implications for the therapeutic treatment of PD.

The importance of lipid probe testing in heterogeneous model membranes

In this paper, Janos Juhasz, James Davis and Frances Sharom investigate the partitioning of several fluorescent lipids into distinct phase domains in giant liposomes, and the effects of these probes on the phase separation – work which will help researchers characterizing domain structures in biological membranes to choose the most suitable probes and interpret some of the discrepancies. Read the Commentary by Nicoletta Kahya.

Calling International Rescue: knowledge lost in literature and data landslide!

Terri Attwood and her colleagues in Manchester survey some of the recent projects that have sought to transform scholarly publishing paradigms, culminating in the Semantic Biochemical Journal. Download the software and see how papers are richer and the data more accessible than before. The Semantic Biochemical Journal marks the beginning of a publishing revolution, changing the way we interact with, and review, the scholarly scientific journal forever.
