Structural insights into rice KAI2 receptor provide functional implications for perception and signal transduction

This study presents the first crystal structure of rice KAI2, revealing residues critical for ligand perception, catalytic activity, and signal transduction, and identifies hydrophobic interactions in the KAI2-D3 complex.

SARS-CoV-2 accessory proteins ORF7a and ORF3a use distinct mechanisms to downregulate MHC-I surface expression

This paper identifies two distinct mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 accessory proteins ORF7a and ORF3a downregulate MHC-I surface expression to evade immune detection.
