Switching Spike Plasticity Shapes ACE2 Engagement Across SARS‐CoV‐2 Variants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conformational plasticity governs SARS‐CoV‐2 spike function and ACE2 recognition. Using high‐speed AFM and single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we analyzed the ancestral spike and nine variants, revealing progressive rigidification from Delta, variable plasticity in Omicron sublineages, and JN.1 compaction.

An Engineered HR1‐Stem Helix‐HR2 Trimeric Platform for Developing Broad‐Spectrum Coronavirus Vaccines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sun et al. report a self‐assembling trimeric subunit vaccine platform termed RHS, which integrates the JN.1 receptor‐binding domain (RBD) with the heptad repeat 1 (HR1), stem helix (SH), and heptad repeat 2 (HR2) regions. The SARS‐CoV‐2 RHS vaccine elicits variant‐reactive RBD‐specific antibodies and cross‐reactive SH‐specific antibodies against ...

Cryo-EM reconstruction of the DNA-bound PolD binary complex.

, 2019
(A) Backbone trace of the cryo-EM model of PolD. The blue region was built by fitting the DP1 H451A (PDB ID: 6HMF, this study) and DP2 (PDB ID: 5IJL [15]) crystal structures in the cryo-EM map.

Structural Basis of Shiga Toxin Neutralization by Human Antibodies Targeting Canonical Receptor‐Binding and Non‐Canonical Assembly Sites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cryo‐electron microscopy structures reveal two distinct neutralization mechanisms of fully human monoclonal antibodies targeting the Shiga toxin 1a B subunit. RDS059 occludes the Gb3 receptor‐binding site, whereas RDS045 engages a lateral quaternary epitope to disrupt holotoxin assembly.

Tau Aggregate Imaging and Transcriptomics of Alzheimer's Disease Brain at Different Stages of Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The protein aggregates and gene expression in the middle temporal gyrus (MTG) and somatosensory cortex (SOM) of the postmortem brains of 13 Alzheimer's disease patients were studied in detail, revealing that small hyperphosphorylated tau aggregates increase with Braak stage driven by microglial inflammation.

Quantitative Visualization of Intracellular Nanometabolism Using Peak‐Shifted Dual‐State Emissive FRET Nanoprobes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the long‐elusive intracellular dissolution mechanism of carrier‐free nanomedicines. By utilizing peak‐shifted dual‐state emissive FRET nanoprobes (PDFNPs) that undergo a distinct ratiometric fluorescence peak shift upon disassembly, we achieve real‐time, quantitative tracking of dissolution kinetics in live cells.

Single‐Molecule Imaging of Endogenous RNA Using a Miniaturized and Circularly Permuted CRISPR‐Cas13 Degron‐Masking System CDegSR

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CDegSR, a new tool for imaging RNA at single molecule level in living cells was developed by researchers. Background noise was eliminated by protein engineering and making it degrade when not bound to its target. This allowed individual RNA molecules to be clearly imaged and tracked.

Distinct Cleavage Trajectories Mediated by DNA and RNA Substrate in Argonaute From Methanocaldococcus Fervens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study characterizes MfAgo, an enzyme exhibiting highly efficient DNA‐guided DNA and RNA cleavage capability. Precise RNA cleavage strictly requires dimerization to stabilize the PIWI‐loop region, while its robust DNA cleavage functions in a dimerization‐independent manner.
