A proteome-wide dependency map of protein interaction motifs
Sara M. Ambjørn, Bob Meeusen, Johanna Kliche…·Jakob Nilsson
The paper systematically assesses the function of short linear motifs (SLiMs) by mutating and screening them in human cells, identifying essential SLiMs for cell proliferation and uncovering novel classes and binding partners.

POLO kinase inhibits Protein Phosphatase 1 to promote the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint and prevent aneuploidy
Margarida Moura, João Barbosa, Inês Mendes Pinto…·Carlos Conde
This study shows POLO kinase phosphorylates PP187B to inhibit its interaction with MPS1, maintaining SAC activity and preventing aneuploidy during mitosis.

A functional map of phosphoprotein phosphatase regulation identifies an evolutionary conserved reductase for the catalytic metal ions
Bob Meeusen, Sara M. Ambjørn, Jiri Veis…·Jakob Nilsson
The paper identifies CYB5R4 as an evolutionarily conserved reductase that activates PP4 and PP6 by reducing their catalytic metal ions, essential for cell viability under oxidative stress.

Substrate recognition principles for the PP2A-B55 protein phosphatase
Thomas Kruse, Dimitriya Hristoforova Garvanska, Julia K. Varga…·Jakob Nilsson
The paper identifies conserved mechanisms by which PP2A-B55 substrates bind B55 through α-helices and develops a competitive inhibitor to study its function.

The RZZ complex facilitates Mad1 binding to Bub1 ensuring efficient checkpoint signaling
Gang Zhang, Thomas Kruse, Jakob Nilsson
The paper shows the RZZ complex helps Mad1 bind to Bub1, which is essential for checkpoint signaling, and that this interaction is conserved from yeast to humans.
