The retromer complex is required for the sorting of acid hydrolases to lysosomes, transcytosis of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor, Wnt gradient formation, iron transporter recycling and… (More)
The endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT-0-III) allow membrane budding and fission away from the cytosol. This machinery is used during multivesicular endosome biogenesis,… (More)
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport-III (ESCRT-III) proteins are essential for budding of some enveloped viruses, for the formation of intraluminal vesicles at the endosome and for… (More)
Measles is a highly contagious human disease. We used cryo–electron microscopy and single particle–based helical image analysis to determine the structure of the helical nucleocapsid formed by the… (More)
The ClpA chaperone combines with the ClpP peptidase to perform targeted proteolysis in the bacterial cytoplasm. ClpA monomer has an N-terminal substrate-binding domain and two AAA+ ATPase domains (D1… (More)
Evolutionary relationships between viruses may be obscure by protein sequence but unmasked by structure. Analysis of bacteriophage T5 by cryo-electron microscopy and protein sequence analysis reveals… (More)
Rpn1 (109 kDa) and Rpn2 (104 kDa) are components of the 19S regulatory complex of the proteasome. The central portions of both proteins are predicted to have toroidal alpha-solenoid folds composed of… (More)
Apicomplexa parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii target effectors to and across the boundary of their parasitophorous vacuole (PV), resulting in host cell subversion and potential presentation by MHC… (More)
The poliovirus protein 2C plays an essential role in viral RNA replication, although its precise biochemical activities or structural requirements have not been elucidated. The protein has several… (More)
ClpP is a serine protease whose active sites are sequestered in a cavity enclosed between two heptameric rings of subunits. The ability of ClpP to process folded protein substrates depends on its… (More)
