A nucleotide-triggered molecular switch orchestrating septin polymerization

Benjamin Grupp, Benjamin Jäckel, Assmann Gunter, Jakob Rehberger, Stefan Steimle, Jan Felix Gehrke, Christian Sieg, Jan Strittmatter, Tobias Wunder, Thomas Vomhof, Johannes Ruhnke, Erik Schleicher, S. Gerhardt, Nils Johnsson, Thomas Gronemeyer

This study identifies a nucleotide-triggered mechanism that stabilizes the G-interface and enables NC-interface assembly in septins, revealing unidirectional allosteric signaling during filament formation.

Shamphavi Sivabalasarma, Najwa Taïb, Clara L. Mollat, Marie Joest, Stefan Steimle, Simonetta Gribaldo, Sonja‐Verena Albers

The paper shows that archaellum gene clusters, which enable motility, are present in bacteria and originated from horizontal gene transfer from archaea.
