Structural insights into the molecular mechanism of phytoplasma immunodominant membrane protein

The first crystal structure of phytoplasma immunodominant membrane protein is reported and structural analysis revealed its potential for actin binding.

Accepted 8 April 2024

Biophysical and structural study of La Crosse virus endonuclease inhibition for the development of new antiviral options

A structural analysis of several metal-ion binders that inhibit viral endonucleases is performed.

Accepted 26 March 2024

Chaperone-mediated MHC-I peptide exchange in antigen presentation

This topic review summarizes structures of chaperones complexed with MHC-I, the structural principles that govern peptide exchange and the mechanism in antigen presentation.

Accepted 18 March 2024

Crystal structure of human peptidylarginine deiminase type VI (PAD6) provides insights into its inactivity

The human peptidylarginine deiminase type VI (PAD6) is essential in oocyte and embryonic development as a component of the supramolecular assemblies called cytoplasmic lattices. The crystal structure presented here suggests PAD6 assembles as a dimer resembling other PADs, albeit with compromised abilities to bind Ca2+ and substrates. This aligns with existing in vitro data which indicate an enzymatically inactive isoform of PAD.

KINNTREX: a neural network to unveil protein mechanisms from time-resolved X-ray crystallography

A kinetics-informed neural-network method (KINNTREX) is designed to analyze a time series of difference maps from a time-resolved X-ray crystallographic experiment.
