Investigating enzyme function by geometric matching of catalytic motifs

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The rapidly growing universe of predicted protein structures offers opportunities for data driven exploration but requires computationally scalable and interpretable tools. We developed a method to detect catalytic features in protein structures, providing insights into enzyme function and mechanism.

A cryptic allosteric pocket shapes isoform‐selective inhibition of human malic enzymes

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Malic enzymes (ME) regulate central carbon metabolism and cellular redox balance, and the mitochondrial isoform ME2 is frequently upregulated in aggressive cancers to support metabolic flexibility and stress resistance. Isoform‐selective inhibition has remained out of reach because the catalytic machinery is essentially invariant across the ...

Donor‐induced conformational gating and substrate‐assisted catalysis in α‐1,3‐galactosyltransferase

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Retaining glycosyltransferases catalyze the formation of stereochemically conserved glycosidic bonds through mechanisms that remain debated. Using bovine α1,3‐galactosyltransferase (α3GalT) as a model, we combine mutagenesis, equilibrium unfolding, kinetics, and molecular dynamics simulations to understand how donor‐induced loop ordering ...

x‐Ray Structure of Streptomyces avermitilis Phospholipase D Reveals a Ca2+‐Stabilized Expanded Active‐Site Cleft Adapted for Phospholipid Binding

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 9, Page 1543-1550, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Phospholipase D (PLD) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phospholipids to generate phosphatidic acid and free head groups such as choline. Among bacterial PLD enzymes, Streptomyces chromofuscus PLD (SchPLD), a member of the alkaline phosphatase D (PhoD) superfamily, exhibits unique Ca2+‐dependent phospholipase activity.

PCK2 Inhibition Reverses Cisplatin Resistance of Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer by Triggering Ferroptosis

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 16, 31 August 2026.
Metabolic enzyme PCK2 is aberrantly upregulated in cisplatin‐resistant NSCLC cells, which inhibits ferroptosis and ultimately facilitates tumor chemoresistance. The small‐molecule inhibitor RGB‐286638 directly binds to the key R454 functional site of PCK2 protein, efficiently inhibits PCK2 expression, and rescues PCK2‐mediated ferroptosis suppression ...
