Structural basis of ligand-selective transcriptional activation in the MerR-family antibiotic resistance regulator AlbA

Michele Di Palma, Alessandro Grinzato, Paolo Andriollo, Leonardo Kleebauer, Marco Leusciatti, G. Morra, R.D. Süssmuth, J. Mark Sutton, Khondaker Miraz Rahman, Roberto A. Steiner

This study reveals how AlbA, an antibiotic resistance regulator, differentially responds to albicidin and PBDs by structurally coupling ligand sensing to transcriptional activation.

Microtubule association induces a Mg-free apo-like ADP pre-release conformation in kinesin-1 that is unaffected by its autoinhibitory tail

Joseph Atherton, Magda S. Chegkazi, Marco Leusciatti, Michele Di Palma, Elisa Peirano, Lisa Sofia Pozzer, Massimiliano Meli, Sebastiano Pasqualato, T Foran, Giulia Morra, Roberto A. Steiner

This study uses cryo-EM to reveal how microtubule association induces an Mg-free apo-like ADP pre-release conformation in kinesin-1, independent of tail interactions.
