Cellular moonlighting function of Hsp20 directs morphological and pathogenic development in Ustilago maydis

Aroni Mitra, Ankita Kar, Koustav Bhakta…·Anupama Sardar Ghosh

This study shows that Hsp20 in Ustilago maydis forms punctate structures that sequester proteins like actin and septin, affecting pathogenicity and cellular processes.

Hsp70 is phosphorylated in a conserved response to DNA damage and contributes to cell cycle control

Tyler J. Moss, Alexandra C Wooldredge, Koustav Bhakta…·Shaeri Mukherjee

The paper shows that Hsp70 phosphorylation at T495 occurs in human cells during DNA damage and affects cell cycle control, with similar effects observed in yeast.
