Filament structure and subcellular organization of the bacterial intermediate filament-like protein crescentin

Y. Liu, F. van den Ent, J. Löwe

This paper determines the structure of crescentin filaments using cryo-EM, revealing an octameric, non-polar filament with unique contacts compared to eukaryotic intermediate filaments.

What Alphafold tells us about cohesin's retention and release from chromosomes

K. A. Nasmyth, B.-G. Lee, M. B. Roig, J. Löwe

This paper uses AlphaFold 2 to propose a molecular mechanism for cohesin retention and release from chromosomes involving Wapl, SA, Pds5, and Scc1 interactions.

The bacterial actin-like cell division protein FtsA forms curved antiparallel double filaments upon binding of FtsN

T. Nierhaus, S. H. McLaughlin, F. Bürmann, D. Kureisaite-Ciziene, S. Maslen, M. J. Skehel, C. W. Yu, S. M. Freund, L. F. Funke, J. W. Chin, J. Löwe

This study shows that FtsA forms curved antiparallel double filaments when bound to FtsN, similar to MreB, and suggests these structures orient septal PG synthesis during bacterial division.

Two FtsZ proteins orchestrate archaeal cell division through distinct functions in ring assembly and constriction

Y. Liao, S. Ithurbide, C. Evenhuis, J. Löwe, I. G. Duggin

This study identifies distinct roles for FtsZ1 and FtsZ2 in archaeal cell division, showing FtsZ1 forms the division ring and stabilizes FtsZ2, while FtsZ2 drives constriction.

Bactofilins form non-polar filaments that bind to membranes directly

X. Deng, A. Gonzalez Llamazares, J. M. Wagstaff, V. L. Hale, S. McLaughlin, G. Cannone, D. Kureisaite-Ciziene, J. Löwe

This study reveals that bactofilins form non-polar filaments that bind directly to membranes, with conserved N-terminal tails mediating membrane interaction.

Cryo-EM reconstruction of AlfA from Bacillus subtilis reveals the structure of a simplified actin-like filament at 3.4 A resolution

A. Szewczak-Harris, J. Löwe

The paper determines the atomic structure of AlfA filaments from Bacillus subtilis using cryo-EM, revealing their simplified architecture and how they form antiparallel doublets for plasmid segregation.
