Assembly principles of a unique cage formed by hexameric and decameric E. coli proteins
eLife, 2014 A 3.3 MDa macromolecular cage between two Escherichia coli proteins with seemingly incompatible symmetries–the hexameric AAA+ ATPase RavA and the decameric inducible lysine decarboxylase LdcI–is reconstructed by cryo-electron microscopy to 11 Å ...

Regulatory role of cellular and viral microRNAs in insect-virus interactions [PDF]
, 2015 The discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) and their functions has led to a paradigm shift in our understanding of the regulation of gene expression, adding an extra layer of complexity for the mechanisms of gene expression.

In situ structures of the genome and genome-delivery apparatus in a single-stranded RNA virus. [PDF]
, 2016 Packaging of the genome into a protein capsid and its subsequent delivery into a host cell are two fundamental processes in the life cycle of a virus. Unlike double-stranded DNA viruses, which pump their genome into a preformed capsid, single-stranded ...
