Structural basis of the lobster carapace blue colour mediated by an HPR protein

Maria Claudia Cedri, Harsh Bansia, Adolfo Amici, María Grazia Ortore, Andrew A. McCarthy, Christoph Mueller‐Dieckmann, Rafael Lingas, Bo Durbeej, Nadia Raffaelli, Tong Wang, Amédée des Georges, Michele Cianci

The paper determines the structure of crustacyanin complexes in American lobster carapace, revealing how HPR proteins contribute to blue coloration through structural tuning of astaxanthin absorption.

Potent activation of SARM1 by NMN analogue VMN underlies vacor neurotoxicity

Andrea Loreto, Carlo Angeletti, Weixi Gu, Andrew Osborne, Bart Nieuwenhuis, Jonathan Gilley, Peter Arthur‐Farraj, Elisa Merlini, Adolfo Amici, Zhenyao Luo, Lauren Hartley-Tassell, Thomas Ve, Laura M. Desrochers, Qi Wang, Boštjan Kobe, , Michael P. Coleman

This study identifies VMN, a metabolite of the pesticide vacor, as a potent SARM1 activator, showing that SARM1 removal rescues vacor-induced neuron and axon death.
