Conformational landscape of soluble α-klotho revealed by cryogenic electron microscopy

Scientific Reports
α-Klotho (KLA) is a type-1 membranous protein that can associate with fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) to form co-receptor for FGF23. The ectodomain of unassociated KLA is shed as soluble KLA (sKLA) to exert FGFR/FGF23-independent pleiotropic ...

Protein crystallography with spallation neutrons [PDF]

Acta Crystallographica Section A Foundations of Crystallography, 2003
Spallation neutrons are ideal for diffraction studies of proteins and oriented molecular complexes. With spallation neutrons and their time-dependent wavelength structure, one can select data with an optimal wavelength band and cover the whole Laue spectrum as time (wavelength) resolved diffraction data.

Computational Design and Experimental Characterization of Protein Oligomers [PDF]

, 2004
Previous efforts in designing protein binding interfaces have focused on altering binding specificities. These methods fall short, however, when applied to the design of novel binding sites due to difficulties in accurately modeling protein backbones ...

AS‐TLC‐Based High‐Throughput Screening Integrated with CuAAC Optimization Strategy Facilitates the Rapid Discovery of YTHDC1 Inhibitor

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We developed Affinity Selection Thin‐Layer Chromatography (AS‐TLC) as a method for high‐throughput screening (HTS) of compound mixtures. Furthermore, we integrated activity assays with AS‐TLC and identified a YTH domain‐containing protein 1 (YTHDC1) inhibitor. Building on this hit, we applied copper(I)‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click

Antigen‐Detected NMR for Minimal Epitope Engineering and Structure‐Guided Selection of a NaV1.7‐Selective Nanobody

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A minimal extracellular epitope from voltage‐gated sodium channel NaV1.7 was engineered into an isotope‐labelled antigen for antigen‐detected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Together with AlphaFold2 (AF2), this enabled structure‐guided selection of R4C8, a human NaV1.7‐selective nanobody that labels fixed NaV1.7‐expressing cells and produces staining

Chemical Inhibition of Pyocyanin Biosynthesis Attenuates Virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Anti‐virulence strategies disarm pathogens rather than killing them directly. A β‐lactone reduces pyocyanin production without affecting growth. Chemical proteomics identified PqsC as the primary target via binding to Cys129. Crystallography revealed the binding mode, and SAR yielded a chloroacetamide inhibitor with improved enzymatic potency and anti ...

Structural snapshot of a bacterial phytochrome in its functional intermediate state

Nature Communications, 2018
Phytochromes are photoreceptors that are present in plants, bacteria and fungi. Here the authors present crystal structures of the phytochrome Agp2 from Agrobacterium fabrum in the parent Pfr state as well as a functional Meta-F intermediate and discuss ...

Reversible, Chemically Gated FRET via Ligand‐Activated Acceptors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fluorogen binding turns the compact FAST tag into a tunable FRET acceptor, with ligand chemistry programming spectral overlap and excited‐state lifetimes. Fluorescence‐lifetime imaging reads out energy transfer through the shortened donor lifetime, while simply adding or washing out the dye switches FRET on and off, reversibly mapping the supramodular ...

Nonnative Thiol and Aniline Methylation, Including Enantioselective Dithiol Desymmetrization, by Multicomponent Cobamide‐Dependent Methyltransferases Using Unactivated Methyl Donors

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Mixed MtaABC/MtgABC methyltransferase systems were developed for non‐native thiol and aniline methylation using the unactivated methyl donors methanol and glycine betaine. The platform enabled site‐selective and enantioselective methylation with turnover number up to 6000, representing the first enantioselective non‐native catalysis by cobamide ...
