A Monomer-Dimer Equilibrium Tunes Phospholipid Handling by Campylobacter jejuni MlaC to the Bacteriums Unique Lipidome

This study characterizes Cj MlaC's structure and function, revealing its unique monomer-dimer equilibrium and lipid-binding properties that adapt to C. jejuni's lipidome.

Reconstitution of glycan-driven MHC I recycling reveals calreticulin as mediator between TAPBPR and tapasin

The paper reveals calreticulin mediates glycan-dependent transfer of MHC I from TAPBPR to tapasin, essential for MHC I recycling and quality control.

Mechanistic insight into the oligomerisation of Arabidopsis CRY1 and its inhibition by BIC1

This study reveals the molecular mechanism of Arabidopsis CRY1 activation and inhibition by BIC1 using time-resolved mass spectrometry and kinetic modeling.

Conformational plasticity of LptC regulates lipopolysaccharide transportby the LptB2FGC complex

This study shows that LptC modulates ATPase activity and stabilizes the LptB2FGC complex during LPS transport by undergoing conformational changes upon LPS or ATP binding.

Dynamic basis of lipopolysaccharide export by LptB2FGC

This study investigates how LptB2FG couples ATP binding and hydrolysis to LPS transport by analyzing conformational changes and interactions in the Lpt complex.

The Mycobacterium lipid transporter MmpL3 is dimeric in detergent solution, SMALPs and reconstituted nanodiscs

This paper shows MmpL3 from M. smegmatis forms dimers in various membrane mimetic systems, contradicting previous structural studies suggesting monomerism.

Cell free expression in proteinosomes prepared from native protein-PNIPAAm conjugates

This study demonstrates cell-free transcription and translation in proteinosomes made from native protein-polymer conjugates, showing enhanced stability and expression compared to traditional methods.
