Ribbon diagram of the modeled complex between human contactin 4Ig1–4 (green) and the carbonic anhydrase domain of human Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Gamma (PTPRG) (yellow). The electrostatic surface of both proteins is also visible in partial transparency. The lateral chains of interacting residues at the contactin 4Ig1–4–PTPRG interface are represented with sticks. The image was generated using PyMOL (The PyMOL Molecular Graphics System, Version 1.5.0.4, Schrödinger, LLC.). See the article by Mercati et al. (doi:10.1242/bio.20133343)

A novel role for glycogen synthase during heat stress
Pratibha Bhadauriya, Akanksha Onkar and colleagues highlight a novel role for glycogen synthase (GS) in regulating autophagy during heat stress via heat shock factor 1 in neuronal cells. Moreover, they show that GS-mediated glycogen metabolism is not only a reservoir of energy but an active molecular player in heat stress responses.
How we support early-career researchers
Biology Open, its sister journals and its not-for-profit publisher, The Company of Biologists, support early-career researchers in numerous ways, helping them grow their network and raise their profile. Find out what we can do to support you.
