In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Class III Viral Membrane Fusion Proteins [PDF]
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2009 Accumulating structural studies of viral fusion glycoproteins have revealed unanticipated structural relationships between unrelated virus families and allowed the grouping of these membrane fusogens into three distinct classes. Here we review the newly identified group of class III viral fusion proteins, whose members include fusion proteins from ...

Varicellovirus UL 49.5 proteins differentially affect the function of the transporter associated with antigen processing, TAP [PDF]
, 2008 Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes play an important role in the protection against viral infections, which they detect through the recognition of virus-derived peptides, presented in the context of MHC class I molecules at the surface of the infected cell.

The regulated expression of Epstein-Barr virus. III. Proteins specified by EBV during the lytic cycle [PDF]
, 1981 The experiments show that 30 virus-induced or virus-specified proteins were synthesized in Raji cells after superinfection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) derived from P3HR1 cells. Using a combination of pulse labelling, application of cycloheximide blocks

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Viral protein R of HIV‐1 [PDF]
Reviews in Medical Virology, 1999 Viral protein R (Vpr) of HIV-1 belongs to a class of so called 'accessory' proteins, originally thought to be dispensable for virus replication, at least in vitro. Indeed, viruses with mutated or deleted Vpr replicate well in transformed T cell lines.

Isolation of poliovirus 2C mutants defective in viral RNA synthesis [PDF]
, 1988 Two poliovirus mutants were isolated that contain an oligonucleotide linker insertion in the 2C-coding region of the viral genome. One, 2C-31, has a strongly temperature-sensitive phenotype and the other, 2C-32, forms small plaques on HeLa cell ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.
