This study identifies TvAPT, a cyanobacterial adenine prenyltransferase that catalyzes N6-prenylation with extended prenyl donors, expanding the catalytic scope of adenine prenyltransferases.

The paper uses high-speed AFM and biophysical methods to study dynamic conformational changes in multidomain glycosyltransferases, revealing diverse organizational strategies.

This study investigates the role of Pro230 in the hinge region of IgG by deleting it, revealing structural changes and functional effects on FcγRI-mediated activity.

The paper presents the cryo-EM structure of human ATAD2 in the ATP state and its complex with histone H3H4, revealing structural organization and a regulatory mechanism involving inter-subunit communication.

This study identifies a novel Mn-dependent peroxidase involved in tardigrade anhydrobiosis through transcriptomic and crystallographic analyses.

This study identifies novel anhydrobiosis-related proteins in the heterotardigrade Echiniscus testudo, showing structural changes similar to eutardigrades but lacking sequence conservation, suggesting convergent evolution.
