Structure and Function of a Multi‐Megadalton Virus‐Like Proteolytic Dodecahedron
Zuzalysin, a virulence metallopeptidase of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, is secreted as a latent, flexible ≈95‐kDa monomer. Calcium triggers cysteine‐switch activation and hierarchical assembly into pentamers, bipentamers, tripentamers, and a ≈5.6‐MDa, ≈355‐Å dodecahedron. Structures at 1.8–3.6 Å reveal a virus‐sized catalytic cage

dsRADAR: Imaging and Detecting Cellular dsRNA by Repurposing RNA‐Binding Proteins
Double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) plays an important role in the innate immune system, but can be misregulated in disease, leading to inflammation. Despite the importance of this motif, methods for detecting dsRNA remain limited. This work shows that ADAR3 can be repurposed to provide improved detection of dsRNA, which is demonstrated in the context of viral
