Structural basis for selective recognition of acyl chains by the membrane-associated acyltransferase PatA
(Nature Publishing, 2016-03)
The biosynthesis of phospholipids and glycolipids are critical pathways for virtually all cell membranes. PatA is an essential membrane associated acyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of mycobacterial phosphatidy ...
Functional organization of the HIV lipid envelope
(Nature, 2016-09-28)
The chemical composition of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) membrane is critical for fusion and entry into target cells, suggesting that preservation of a functional lipid bilayer organization may be required ...
Structural changes induced by acidic pH in human apolipoprotein B-100
(Nature Research, 2016-11-08)
Acidification in the endosome causes lipoprotein release by promoting a conformational change in the LDLR allowing its recycling and degradation of LDL. Notwithstanding conformational changes occurring in the LDLR have ...
A cellular reporter to evaluate CRM1 nuclear export activity: functional analysis of the cancer-related mutant E571K
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2016-12)
The exportin CRM1 binds nuclear export signals (NESs), and mediates active transport of NES-bearing proteins from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Structural and biochemical analyses have uncovered the molecular mechanisms ...
Structural basis for broad neutralization of HIV-1 through the molecular recognition of 10E8 helical epitope at the membrane interface
(Springer Nature, 2016-12-01)
The mechanism by which the HIV-1 MPER epitope is recognized by the potent neutralizing antibody 10E8 at membrane interfaces remains poorly understood. To solve this problem, we have optimized a 10E8 peptide epitope and ...
