Congrats @DanielS20127197, Brenda and all coauthors!
Out @MolecularCell from Schulman group @StJudeResearch & @MPI_Biochem: E3 Ub ligase CRL2-KHLDC2 uses a kinetic mechanism and auto-inhibitory self-assembly to avoid targeting non-substrate proteins with degron-like sequence.

Work from @LabHalic with @StefanCanzar now @NAR_Open.
Using genome-wide approaches to dissect the pathways that lead to #heterochromatin silencing, they unveil a new mechanism — decreased transcription efficiency, in a pathway that requires CCR4–NOT.

Very excited to see everyone next week!
We look forward to welcoming our guest speakers in person at St. Jude next Monday for the Symposium!

Congrats to Maximiliane Wieland @ERundlet @MikaelScience and all coauthors!
Work from @TheBlanchardLab and @WilsonLab2 combines #smFRET and #cryoEM to reveal the mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptide argyrin: ArgB binds EF-G on ribosome and inhibits conformational changes required for translocation and EF-G dissociation.

Our new manuscript on LRRK2 activation with @zhu_hanwen Francesca and Dario @ASAP @LRRK2_central. We reveal a novel LRRK2 kinase activation mechanism via spatial regulation and protein non-symmetric tetramerization (dimer of asymmetric dimers). See animation (credit @NormanLuo5)

Congrats Anne, @BorcherdsWade and all coauthors!
Now out @NatureChemistry: work from @TanjaMittag lab in collaboration with @PappulabWashU deciphers the rules in the stickers-and-spacers model that govern phase separation by prion-like low-complexity domains.

Congrats to @Kriwacki and @CMullighan labs!
Out in @CD_AACR: by integrating biophysics, cellular imaging and transcriptomics, Kriwacki, Mullighan & colleagues demonstrate the role of LLPS in leukemogenesis by NUP98 fusion oncoproteins and identify the specific molecular interactions involved.

pretty cool story, using MAS ssNMR and MD sims!

Hi-res ssNMR illuminates structures of antifungal AmB “sponges” consisting of asymmetric head-to-tail homodimers staggered in a clathrate-like lattice with large void volumes similar to the size of sterols. @TarasPogorelov @nmrfam @Illinois_Alma @UWMadison nature.com/articles/s41594-0…

Today with @emblebi we’re expanding the #AlphaFold Protein Structure Database to cover UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot (of @uniprot). This includes key proteins of interest that have been manually curated by experts & will more than double the database size to >800k! dpmd.ai/alphafolddb

More sodium-solute symporters @Nature, now from Lei Chen @PKU1898: #cryoEM structure of human SGLT2 in complex with auxiliary membrane protein MAP17 and inhibitor empagliflozin (used to treat type 2 diabetes).

From Feng lab @StanfordMed and @LabSkiniotis:
#cryoEM of 2 human Na /solute symporters —
SGLT1 (Na /glucose, apo) and SMCT1 (Na /monocarboxylates, with substrate) —
provide a trove of functional insights on these important transporters. Out in @nature

Amazing work, congrats!!
Worth highlighting: the structure of the TDP-43 filament core is very different from those of filaments formed in vitro.
