New article from Emmanuel Levy'Lab : they discovered that missense mutations in homomeric proteins can trigger supramolecular assembly but, remarkably, these folded protein assemblies are not toxic. A testament to cellular robustness!

Years ago we discovered that missense mutations in homomeric proteins often induces their supramolecular assembly, as in the π½οΈπ - Are such aberrant assemblies of *folded* proteins toxic? Surprisingly, NO. Cells are amazingly robust systems! Paper now online @molsystbiol.org doi.org/10.1038/s443...

d-cysteine impairs tumour growth by inhibiting cysteine desulfurase NFS1
Nature Metabolism - Zangari et al. show that d-cysteine targets NFS1, thus affecting FeβS cluster biogenesis and impairing tumour growth.
