Tác giả : Manka, Szymon W. (2023) - Recent cryo-EM studies of infectious, ex vivo, prion fibrils from hamster 263K and mouse
RML prion strains revealed a comparable, parallel in-register intermolecular β-sheet
(PIRIBS) amyloid architecture. Rungs of the fibrils are composed of individual prion
protein (PrP) monomers that fold to create distinct N- and C-terminal lobes. However,
disparity in the hamster/mouse PrP sequence precludes understanding how divergent
prion strains emerge ...

Tác giả : Lemonidis, Kimon (2023) - The Fanconi Anaemia pathway operates for the repair of interstrand crosslinks and the maintenance
11 of genomic stability upon replication stalling. Di‐monoubiquitination of the FANCI‐FANCD2 (ID2)
12 complex is a central and crucial step in this pathway. Evidence suggests that FANCD2 ubiquitination
13 precedes FANCI ubiquitination, and that both the FANCD2‐ubiquitinated (ID2Ub) and the di14
monoubiquitinated (IUbD2Ub) complex clamp on DNA. However, FANCD2...

Tác giả : Khandelwal, Nitesh Kumar (2023) - Yeast Cadmium Factor 1 (Ycf1) sequesters glutathione and glutathione-heavy metal conjugates into yeast vacuoles as a cellular detoxification mechanism. Ycf1 belongs to the C subfamily of ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters characterized by long flexible linkers, notably the regulatory domain (R-domain). R-domain phosphorylation is necessary for activity, whereas dephosphorylation induces autoinhibition through an undefined mechanism. Because of its transient and dynamic nature,...

Tác giả : Kubíková, Jana (2023) - Drosophila Smaug and its orthologs comprise a family of mRNA repressor proteins
that exhibit various functions during animal development. Smaug proteins contain a
characteristic RNA-binding sterile-a motif (SAM) domain and a conserved but
uncharacterized N-terminal domain (NTD). Here, we resolved the crystal structure of
the NTD of the human SAM domain-containing protein 4A (SAMD4A, a.k.a. Smaug1)
to 2.0 Å resolution, which revealed its composi...

Tác giả : Dubiez, Etienne (2023) - The nuclear cap-binding complex (CBC) co-ordinates co-transcriptional maturation,
transport, or degradation of nascent Pol II transcripts. CBC with its partner ARS2 form
mutually exclusive complexes with diverse ‘effectors’ that promote either productive or
destructive outcomes. Combining Alphafold predictions with structural and biochemical
validation, we show how effectors NCBP3, NELF-E, ARS2, PHAX and ZC3H18 form
competing binary complexes with CBC and how...

Tác giả : Schmitz, Michael (2023) - CRISPR systems have been co-opted by Tn7-like elements to direct RNA-guided transposition. Type
V-K CRISPR-associated transposons rely on the concerted activities of the pseudonuclease Cas12k,
the AAA+ ATPase TnsC, the Zn-finger protein TniQ, and the transposase TnsB. Here we present a
cryo-electron microscopic structure of a target DNA-bound Cas12k-transposon recruitment complex
comprising RNA-guided Cas12k, TniQ, TnsC and, unexpectedly, the ribosomal protein ...

Tác giả : Bryan, Nikaela W. (2023) - Membraneless intracellular compartmentalization is central to a long and growing list of
biochemical transactions at diverse sub-cellular locations 1. Proteins are by-and-large the
drivers of the formation of these compartments, but there is debate about whether their
underpinnings are either low-affinity/low-specificity interactions yielding phase separation 2 or
multivalent site-specific interactions 3. By its very nature, ascertaining the former type of
...

Tác giả : Kot, Erik F. (2023) - Neurotrophin receptors of the Trk family are involved in the regulation of brain development and neuroplasticity, and therefore can serve as targets for anti-cancer and stroke-recovery drugs, antidepressants, and many others. The structures of Trk protein domains in various states upon activation need to be elucidated to allow rational drug design. However, little is known about the conformations of the transmembrane and juxtamembrane domains of Trk receptors...

Tác giả : Oosterheert, Wout (2023) - The dynamic turnover of actin filaments (F-actin) controls cellular motility in eukaryotes and is
coupled to changes in the F-actin nucleotide state. It remains unclear how F-actin hydrolyzes ATP
and subsequently undergoes subtle conformational rearrangements that ultimately lead to filament
depolymerization by actin-binding proteins. Here, we present cryo-EM structures of F-actin in all
nucleotide states, polymerized in the presence of Mg2+ or Ca2+, ...

Tác giả : Mühleip, Alexander (2023) - Mitochondrial energy conversion requires an intricate architecture of the inner
23 mitochondrial membrane1. Here we show that in ciliates, the membrane curvature is
24 provided by a supercomplex containing all four respiratory chain components. We report
25 cryo-electron microscopy and cryo-tomography structures of the supercomplex that
26 comprises 150 different proteins and 311 bound lipids, forming a stable 5.8-megadalton
27 assembly. Due to ...

Tác giả : Sim, Sue Im (2021) - Polyamines are small, organic polycations that are ubiquitous and essential to all forms of life. Currently,
how polyamines are transported across membranes is not understood. Recent studies have suggested
that ATP13A2 and its close homologs, collectively known as P5B-ATPases, are polyamine transporters at
endo-/lysosomes. Loss-of-function mutations of ATP13A2 in humans cause hereditary early-onset
Parkinson’s disease. To understand the polyamine ...

Tác giả : Boom, Johannes van den (2023) - The AAA+ ATPase p97 (also called VCP, or Cdc48 in yeast) unfolds proteins and
disassembles protein complexes in a myriad of cellular processes, but how a substrate
complex needs to be loaded onto p97 by a dedicated substrate adapter and then
disassembled by p97 has not been structurally visualized so far. Here we present cryo-EM
structures of p97 in the process of disassembling a protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) complex by

Tác giả : Selvaraj, Muniyandi (2023) - The actin cytoskeleton is critical for cell migration, morphogenesis, endocytosis, organelle
dynamics, and cytokinesis. To support diverse cellular processes, actin filaments form a
variety of structures with specific architectures and dynamic properties. Key proteins
specifying actin filaments are tropomyosins. Non-muscle cells express several functionally
non-redundant tropomyosin isoforms, which differentially control the interactions of
other proteins, including myosins ...
