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 ...

Blind prediction of protein B-factor and flexibility

, 2018
Debye-Waller factor, a measure of X-ray attenuation, can be experimentally observed in protein X-ray crystallography. Previous theoretical models have made strong inroads in the analysis of B-factors by linearly fitting protein B-factors from ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

N-{(Z)-3-Oxo-3-[(E)-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)diazenyl]-1-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-1-en-2-yl}benzamide

IUCrData, 2016
In the title compound, C20H16N4O2S, the thiophene ring subtends dihedral angles of 58.6 (3) and 9.8 (3)° with the benzamide and pyridine rings, respectively, whereas these two rings are inclined to one another by 59.3 (3)°. There is an intramolecular C—H.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These
