SARS-CoV-2 polyprotein substrate regulates the stepwise Mpro cleavage reaction

M. Narwal, J.-P. Armache, T. Edwards, K. S. Murakami

This study presents cryo-EM structures of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro bound to the nsp7-10 region of pp1a polyprotein, revealing how Mpro interacts with polyproteins and cleaves them sequentially.

Structural basis of RNA polymerase recycling by the Swi2/Snf2 ATPase RapA in Escherichia coli

M. Z. Qayyum, V. Molodtsov, A. Renda, K. S. Murakami

The paper determines cryo-EM structures of E. coli RapA-RNAP complexes to elucidate how RapA prevents RNAP from non-specific DNA binding, enhancing RNAP recycling after transcription termination.

The mechanism of the nucleo-sugar selection by multi-subunit RNA polymerases

J. J. Mäkinen, Y. Shin, E. Vieras, P. Virta, M. Metsä-Ketelä, K. S. Murakami, G. A. Belogurov

The paper identifies a conserved Arg residue in multi-subunit RNA polymerases that uses a two-pronged strategy to select against 2’dNTPs by interacting with both the 2’OH and 3’OH groups.
