Accepted 19 June 2025

Crystal structures of Escherichia coli glucokinase and insights into phosphate binding

This work, for the first time, presents the structure of apo Escherichia coli glucokinase (ecGLK) bound with sulfate, a phosphate mimic, and the structure of ecGLK in complex with both glucose and phosphate, implying a role of phosphate in regulating the glucokinase activity.

Accepted 18 June 2025

Crystal structure analysis of oxygen-induced degradation occurring in rsCherry

Four crystal structures of rsCherry, where `rs' means reversible switchable, degraded under aerobic conditions, provide valuable insights into oxygen-induced degradation in red fluorescent proteins.

Accepted 11 June 2025

Nucleotide-bound crystal structures of the SARS-CoV-2 helicase NSP13

Nucleotide-bound crystal structures of SARS-CoV-2 NSP13 capture a state immediately following ATP hydrolysis and reveal how crystal packing can affect structure-based drug design targeting NSP13.

Accepted 11 June 2025

Structural insights into full-length human fascin1: a target for cancer treatment

This study presents the first fully resolved crystal structure of human fascin1, revealing its conformational plasticity and key interdomain interactions critical for actin bundling and cancer metastasis. These findings provide a structural foundation for the development of allosteric inhibitors and pave the way for time-resolved crystallographic studies to explore fascin1 dynamics in metastasis and drug targeting.

Crystal structure of the sucrose phosphorylase from Alteromonas mediterranea shows a loop transition in the active site

Sucrose phosphorylases catalyse a bi-bi reaction that interconverts sucrose and phosphate into glucose α-1-phosphate and fructose. Here, we present the first crystal structure of a sucrose phosphorylase from a marine organism.
