Mashup Score: 0Online Event - 6 month(s) ago
Blood fats are key biomarkers for heart, liver, and other diseases, highlighting the importance of lipid metabolism for health. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme involved in hydrolyzing triglycerides from circulating lipoproteins in the blood, releasing free fatty acids. Understanding the structural and functional aspects of LPL is crucial, given its significant role in lipid metabolism and related diseases. In this webinar, the speaker will describe experiments that uncovered how LPL interacts

Mashup Score: 2Bipartite genome and structural organization of the parvovirus Acheta domesticus segmented densovirus - Nature Communications - 9 month(s) ago
Parvoviruses have been reported to carry a linear monopartite ssDNA genome. In this study, the authors isolated an insect-infecting parvovirus with a bipartite genome from house crickets and discovered a genome packaging strategy distinct from other parvoviruses.

Mashup Score: 7Cryo-electron microscopy of the f1 filamentous phage reveals insights into viral infection and assembly - Nature Communications - 11 month(s) ago
In this work, the authors report a system for production of short versions of a filamentous phage enables the structure to be determined by cryo-electron microscopy. Structure combined with mutagenesis allows the identification of phage domains that are important in bacterial attack and for release of new viral progeny.

Mashup Score: 11Disease-relevant β2-microglobulin variants share a common amyloid fold - Nature Communications - 1 year(s) ago
The authors use cryo-EM to determine amyloid fibrils structures of disease relevant variants of β2-microglobulin in vitro. Each variant is polymorphic, but all polymorphs from all samples are built from a a lego-like assembly of common building blocks, suggesting a one amyloid fold’ paradigm.

Mashup Score: 5rRNA methylation by Spb1 regulates the GTPase activity of Nog2 during 60S ribosomal subunit assembly - Nature Communications - 1 year(s) ago
Regulation of 60S biogenesis remains poorly understood. Using cryo-EM, the authors show that failure of Spb1 to methylate the A-loop nucleotide G2922 prematurely activates the GTPase Nog2, suggesting that Spb1 and Nog2 form a kinetic checkpoint during ribosome maturation.
