Haustorium Formation in Medicago truncatula Roots Infected by Phytophthora palmivora Does Not Involve the Common Endosymbiotic Program Shared by Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Rhizobia

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2015
In biotrophic plant-microbe interactions, microbes infect living plant cells, in which they are hosted in a novel membrane compartment, the host-microbe interface.

Two separate interfaces between the voltage sensor and pore are required for the function of voltage-dependent K(+) channels. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2009
Voltage-dependent K(+) (Kv) channels gate open in response to the membrane voltage. To further our understanding of how cell membrane voltage regulates the opening of a Kv channel, we have studied the protein interfaces that attach the voltage-sensor ...

Analysing the significance of small conformational changes and low occupancy states in serial crystallographic data

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This protocol paper outlines methods to establish the success of a time‐resolved serial crystallographic experiment, by means of statistical analysis of timepoint data in reciprocal space and models in real space. We show how to amplify the signal from excited states to visualise structural changes in successful experiments.

Global rescue of defects in HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein incorporation: implications for matrix structure. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
The matrix (MA) domain of HIV-1 Gag plays key roles in membrane targeting of Gag, and envelope (Env) glycoprotein incorporation into virions. Although a trimeric MA structure has been available since 1996, evidence for functional MA trimers has been ...

YlmG1 is localized exclusively to the chloroplast envelope membrane and is involved in preprotein translocation in Arabidopsis thaliana

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cytosolically synthesized chloroplast preproteins are translocated across the outer and inner envelope membranes through translocons called TOC and TIC, respectively. In green algae and plants, the TIC core is composed of essential membrane proteins, Tic12, Tic20, and Tic214.

Renumerating wh-compound questions in Japanese at the syntax-morphology interface

Glossa
In this paper, we investigate wh-compound questions in Japanese to adjudicate between lexicalist and non-lexicalist approaches to word formation. We first show that wh-compound questions pass standard diagnostic tests for wordhood in Japanese, thereby ...

YIPFα1A expression is regulated by multilayered molecular mechanisms

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
YIPFα1A, a five‐pass Golgi protein, is regulated at multiple layers. (1) Rare‐codon enrichment drives translation‐coupled mRNA decay. (2) A proximal 3′‐UTR element stabilizes mRNA. (3) A distal 3′‐UTR element included by alternate poly(A) site usage represses translation, which can be overridden by the proximal 3′‐UTR element.

Oil-water interface and emulsion stabilising properties of rapeseed proteins napin and cruciferin studied by nonlinear surface rheology.

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science
HYPOTHESIS Two major protein families are present in rapeseed, namely cruciferins and napins. The structural differences between the two protein families indicate that they might behave differently when their mixture stabilises oil-water interfaces ...

The Two-Brains Hypothesis: Towards a guide for brain–brain and brain–machine interfaces

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2015
Great advances have been made in signaling information on brain activity in individuals, or passing between an individual and a computer or robot. These include recording of natural activity using implants under the scalp or by external means or the reverse feeding of such data into the brain.

Molecular dynamics simulations of positively selected codons in FcγRI reveal novel biochemical binding properties

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Evolutionary analysis across 32 placental mammals identified positive selection at residues H148 and W149 in the immune receptor FcγR1. Ancestral reconstruction combined with molecular dynamics simulations reveals how these mutations may influence receptor structure and dynamics, providing insight into the evolution of antibody recognition and immune ...
