Structure of native glycolipoprotein filaments in honeybee royal jelly
Female honeybee larvae develop into queens when they are fed exclusively with royal jelly (RJ) and major royal jelly protein 1 (MRJP1) is the main protein component of RJ. Here, the authors present the 3.5 Å cryo-EM structure of native RJ filament, where

Studying protein-protein interactions using peptide arrays [PDF]
Screening of arrays and libraries of compounds is well-established as a high-throughput method for detecting and analyzing interactions in both biological and chemical systems. Arrays and libraries can be composed from various types of molecules, ranging

Post-translational modification and regulation of human Spir protein [PDF]
Spir proteins are the primodial members of the emerging group of actin nucleation factors, which initiate actin polymerization by binding monomeric actin to one or multiple Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASp) homology-2 domains.

Histidine-Dependent Protein Methylation Is Required for Compartmentalization of CTP Synthase
Summary: CTP synthase (CTPS) forms compartmentalized filaments in response to substrate availability and environmental nutrient status. However, the physiological role of filaments and mechanisms for filament assembly are not well understood.

Bre1/RNF20 promotes Rad51-mediated strand exchange and antagonizes the Srs2/FBH1 helicases
Central to homologous recombination (HR) is the assembly of Rad51 recombinase on single-strand DNA (ssDNA), forming the Rad51-ssDNA filament. How the Rad51 filament is efficiently established and sustained remains partially understood. Here, we find that

The DinI Protein Stabilizes RecA Protein Filaments [PDF]
When DinI is present at concentrations that are stoichiometric with those of RecA or somewhat greater, DinI has a substantial stabilizing effect on RecA filaments bound to DNA. Exchange of RecA between free and bound forms was almost entirely suppressed, and highly stable filaments were documented with several different experimental methods.

Heterologous protein production in filamentous fungi
Abstract Filamentous fungi are able to produce a wide range of valuable proteins and enzymes for many industrial applications. Recent advances in fungal genomics and experimental technologies are rapidly changing the approaches for the development and use of filamentous fungi as hosts for the production of both ...

Interrogation of the protein-protein interactions between human BRCA2 BRC repeats and RAD51 reveals atomistic determinants of affinity [PDF]
The breast cancer suppressor BRCA2 controls the recombinase RAD51 in the reactions that mediate homologous DNA recombination, an essential cellular process required for the error-free repair of DNA double-stranded breaks.
