Structural modelling and functional analysis support lipid binding by the dimeric E. coli DedA protein YqjA

Thomas J. Paige, Junxi Chen, Aline Le Roy…·Christopher Mulligan

The paper identifies a lipid-binding site in the dimeric E. coli DedA protein YqjA through structural modeling and functional assays, showing lipid binding enhances thermal stability and is essential for function.

A new class of binding protein-dependent solute transporter exemplified by the TAXI-GltS system from Bordetella pertussis

Lily M Jaques, Joseph F. S. Davies, Jack J Sheldon-Towler…·Christopher Mulligan

The paper identifies a novel TRAP transporter system in Bordetella pertussis where the SBP forms a dimer and binds glutamate with high affinity, lacking typical TRAP membrane components but coupled with a Na+/glutamate symporter.
