The cysteine-rich domain of SEP15, a selenoprotein co-chaperone of the ER chaperone, UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase, adopts a novel fold

Robert V. Williams, Kevin P. Guay, Owen A. Hurlbut Lesk…·Lila M. Gierasch

The paper determines the structure of the cysteine-rich domain of SEP15 using AlphaFold and NMR, revealing a novel helical fold stabilized by disulfide bonds.

The nucleotide exchange factor, GrpE, modulates substrate affinity by interaction of its N-terminal tails with the DnaK substrate-binding domain.

Akshitha Maqtedar, María-Agustina Rossi, Eugenia M. Clérico…·Lila M. Gierasch

This paper investigates how GrpE modulates DnaK's substrate affinity through interactions between GrpE's N-terminal tails and DnaK's SBD, revealing a temperature-dependent mechanism.
