The role of location propagation for translocon complex relocation during eukaryogenesis

I. Carilo, Y. Senju, R. C. Robinson

The paper shows that Asgard and eukaryotic translocon complexes are intercompatible, and that translocon relocation during eukaryogenesis is guided by the location of existing complexes.

An actin-like filament from Clostridium botulinum exhibits a novel mechanism of filament dynamics

A. Koh, S. Ali, D. Popp, K. Tanaka, Y. Kitaoku, N. Miyazaki, I. Kenji, K. Mitsuoka, R. C. Robinson, A. Narita

The paper identifies a ParM protein from Clostridium botulinum that forms a double-stranded filament with unique dynamics involving Pi-induced lateral shifts and distinct interactions with ParR.

Structure and dynamics of Odinarchaeota tubulin and the implications for eukaryotic microtubule evolution

C. Akil, S. Ali, L. T. Tran, J. Gaillard, W. Li, K. Hayashida, M. Hirose, T. Kato, A. Oshima, K. Fujishima, L. Blanchoin, A. Narita, R. C. Robinson

This study presents the structure of Odinarchaeota tubulin and shows it forms tubules similar to FtsZ, suggesting it is an evolutionary intermediate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic microtubule-forming proteins.

Specialization of actin isoforms derived from the loss of key interactions with regulatory factors

M. Boiero Sanders, C. Toret, A. Antkowiak, A. Guillotin, R. C. Robinson, A. Michelot

The paper investigates how heterologous actin expression affects cytoskeletal organization in yeast, showing that specialized actin variants can rescue network structure and confer resistance to perturbation.

In-vivo crystals reveal protein interactions

E. R. Martin, A. Barbieri, R. C. Ford, R. C. Robinson

The paper develops an in-vivo crystallization system to study protein interactions and applies it to analyze the NHERF1 PDZ2-CFTR complex, revealing new insights into residue-specific binding.

Complex eukaryotic-like actin regulation systems from Asgard archaea

C. Akil, L. T. Tran, M. Orhant-Prioux, Y. Baskaran, E. Manser, L. Blanchoin, R. C. Robinson

This paper identifies eukaryote-like actin regulation systems in Asgard archaea, showing calcium-regulated actin dynamics predating eukaryotes.
