H₂O₂, STOP1 Oxidation, and Aluminum Resistance
2026-09-24
This Arabidopsis study shows that elevated H₂O₂ can weaken aluminum resistance by oxidizing STOP1 and promoting its RAE1-associated degradation, while TRX1 can reverse STOP1 oxidation. The findings connect mitochondrial function and redox control to transcription-factor stability, offering a framework for investigating how oxidative stress shapes plant responses to aluminum.

Data-Driven Design of Small-Molecule Libraries
2026-09-24
Moret et al. present a data-driven framework for comparing and designing small-molecule collections using selectivity, target coverage, cellular phenotypes, chemical structure, and other practical criteria. Applying it to existing kinase libraries led to LSP-OptimalKinase, while a separate mechanism-of-action collection was designed to cover 1,852 genes in the liganded genome.

Viral RIPK3 Degradation Shapes Orthopoxvirus Inflammation
2026-09-23
Liu and colleagues identify vIRD, an orthopoxvirus protein that recruits host ubiquitination machinery to drive RIPK3 degradation and suppress necroptosis. Viral-genetic and mouse experiments connect this mechanism to virus replication, inflammation, and disease, while showing that its effects depend on host RIPK3–MLKL signaling.
