The minus end depolymerase KIF2A drives flux-like treadmilling of γTuRC-uncapped microtubules

G. Henkin, C. Brito, C. Thomas, T. Surrey

This study shows KIF2A drives treadmilling of γTuRC-uncapped microtubules by depolymerizing minus ends while allowing nucleation from γTuRC.

Mechanics of allostery: contrasting the induced fit and population shift scenarios

R. Ravasio, S. M. Flatt, L. Yan, S. Zamuner, C. Brito, M. Wyart

The paper investigates allosteric conformational changes in proteins, finding that a soft elastic mode with high shear is common, and that cooperativity depends on stiffness and protein size.

Direct Coupling Analysis of Epistasis in Allosteric Materials

B. Bravi, R. Ravasio, C. Brito, M. Wyart

The paper investigates epistasis in allosteric materials using Direct Coupling Analysis, finding it predicts mutation costs but fails to capture long-range epistasis, suggesting alternative methods may be better.
