From biophysical interaction to structural modeling: bi-terminal G and TGS domains drive rice OsYchF1-OsGAP1 complex formation

Botanical Studies
OsYchF1 belongs to the YchF subfamily in the Obg family of G proteins, and comprises a core G domain, an α-helical domain, and a TGS domain from the N-terminus to the C-terminus.

Enhanced synaptotagmin plasticity derived from pairing intrinsic disorder with synaptic vesicle lipids

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2017
Synaptotagmin 1 (Syt 1) is an integral membrane protein responsible for sensing the calcium ion (Ca2+) influx in neurons that triggers synaptic vesicle exocytosis.

Rescue of HIV-1 release by targeting widely divergent NEDD4-type ubiquitin ligases and isolated catalytic HECT domains to Gag.

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
Retroviruses engage the ESCRT pathway through late assembly (L) domains in Gag to promote virus release. HIV-1 uses a PTAP motif as its primary L domain, which interacts with the ESCRT-I component Tsg101. In contrast, certain other retroviruses primarily

Sub‐Nanometer Curvature Unlocks Quantum Orbital Flexoelectricity in Graphene

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In self‐assembled, reproducible, large‐area, quasi‐pristine graphene nanowrinkles, extreme curvature forces out‐of‐plane π‐electrons toward hybridization, driving a transition from classical to quantum orbital flexoelectricity. As curvature approaches the fundamental physical limit set by the C─C bond length, the resulting polarization increases by ...

Structure of the C-terminal domain of AspA (antigen I/II-family) protein from Streptococcus pyogenes

FEBS Open Bio, 2014
The pathogenic bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes can cause an array of diseases in humans, including moderate infections such as pharyngitis (strep throat) as well as life threatening conditions such as necrotizing fasciitis and puerperal fever.

Measuring the Hall Effect in Hysteretic Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The authors highlight common pitfalls in measuring the Hall effect: in hysteretic magnets, improper data processing can create signals that look exotic but are not real. This Perspective explains the origin of these artifacts and presents practical measurement strategies that help researchers identify reliable Hall responses in complex magnetic ...

The Nedd4L ubiquitin ligase is activated by FCHO2-generated membrane curvature

The EMBO Journal
The C2-WW-HECT domain ubiquitin ligase Nedd4L regulates membrane sorting during endocytosis through the ubiquitination of cargo molecules such as the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). Nedd4L is catalytically autoinhibited by an intramolecular interaction

From Behavior to Dynamics: Decoding Carrier Roles in Cu‐based Photocathodes for Solar‐Driven CO2 Reduction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The performance of Cu‐based photocathodes in photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction is not governed by catalytic sites alone, but by the dynamic journey of photogenerated carriers. This review decodes how carrier generation, recombination, transport, accumulation, extraction, and electrolyte coupling shape catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability ...
