Interface swapping orchestrates carbon transfer in the archaeal acetyl-CoA decarbonylase/synthase

Erik Zimmer, Tristan Reif-Trauttmansdorff, Anthony M. Ciancone, Sofia Appelgren, Jörg Kahnt, Darja Deobald, Frank Abendroth, Olalla Vázquez, Georg K. A. Hochberg, Francis J. O’Reilly, Jan M. Schuller

The paper investigates the structure and dynamics of the archaeal ACDS complex, revealing a mechanism for efficient carbon transfer through transient interactions rather than stable complexes.

Structure of the energy converting methyltransferase (Mtr) of Methanosarcina mazei in complex with an oxygen-stress responsive small protein

Tristan Reif-Trauttmansdorff, Eva Herdering, Stefan Bohn, Tomas C. Pascoa, Jörg Kahnt, Erik Zimmer, Anuj Kumar, Ruth A. Schmitz, Jan M. Schuller

The paper presents a cryo-EM structure of the Mtr complex from Methanosarcina mazei and identifies a small ORF protein, MtrI, involved in oxygen stress response.
