  eLife assessment

  This manuscript probes the ways in which a protein tag might influence the structure, dynamics and stability of a covalently-attached substrate protein. Such findings are of important significance to several fields, particularly in understanding how these influences control the abundance of proteins within a cell. The evidence provided to support the authors' conclusions are, however, incomplete and further control experiments are necessary to fully support the proposed model.

• Curated by eLife

  eLife assessment

  In their manuscript, Cummings et al. use in vitro reconstitution to examine the differential activities of tubulin polyglycylases, providing valuable insights into the enzymatic regulation of microtubule glycylation and its mechanistic role in maintaining cilia function and microtubule dynamics. The convincing evidence, supported by well-designed experiments and appropriate controls, significantly advances our understanding of the tubulin code and its biochemical mechanisms.

Dock-and-lock binding of SxIP ligands is required for stable and selective EB1 interactions

• Curated by eLife

  eLife assessment

  This study provides valuable insights into how the EBH domain of EB1 interacts with SxIP peptides derived from MACF. A convincing description of the thermodynamic and kinetic modes of peptide binding is provided via a combination of solution NMR techniques and ITC. Although consistent with the data, the proposed "dock-and lock" model was not found to be directly supported by evidence. This work will be of interest to structural biologists and biophysicists interested in microtubule cytoskeleton.

• Curated by eLife

  eLife assessment

  This study provides valuable findings that improve our understanding of the evolutionary conservation of the role of DDX6 in mRNA decay. The evidence supporting the authors' conclusions is convincing. This work will be of interest to molecular, cell biologists and biochemists, especially those studying RNA.
