Posttranslational modification of CENP-A influences the conformation of centromeric chromatin
Centromeres are chromosomal loci required for accurate segregation of sister chromatids during mitosis. The location of the centromere on the chromosome is not dependent on DNA sequence, but rather… Expand

NRMT is an α-N-methyltransferase that methylates RCC1 and Retinoblastoma Protein
The post-translational methylation of α-amino groups was first discovered over 30 years ago on the bacterial ribosomal proteins L16 and L33 (refs 1, 2), but almost nothing is known about the function… Expand

NRMT2 is an N-terminal monomethylase that primes for its homologue NRMT1.
NRMT (N-terminal regulator of chromatin condensation 1 methyltransferase) was the first eukaryotic methyltransferase identified to specifically methylate the free α-amino group of proteins. Since the… Expand

Phosphine gas in the cloud decks of Venus
Measurements of trace gases in planetary atmospheres help us explore chemical conditions different to those on Earth. Our nearest neighbour, Venus, has cloud decks that are temperate but hyperacidic.… Expand

Substrate specificity of mammalian N-terminal α-amino methyltransferase NRMT.
N-Terminal methylation of free α-amino groups is a post-translational modification of proteins that was first described 30 years ago but has been studied very little. In this modification, the… Expand

Crystal structures of TM0549 and NE1324—two orthologs of E. coli AHAS isozyme III small regulatory subunit
Crystal structures of two orthologs of the regulatory subunit of acetohydroxyacid synthase III (AHAS, EC 2.2.1.6) from Thermotoga maritima (TM0549) and Nitrosomonas europea (NE1324) were determined… Expand

Structure of Escherichia coli RutC, a member of the YjgF family and putative aminoacrylate peracid reductase of the rut operon.
RutC is the third enzyme in the Escherichia coli rut pathway of uracil degradation. RutC belongs to the highly conserved YjgF family of proteins. The structure of the RutC protein was determined and… Expand

Assembly and nuclear export of pre-ribosomal particles in budding yeast
The ribosome is responsible for the final step of decoding genetic information into proteins. Therefore, correct assembly of ribosomes is a fundamental task for all living cells. In eukaryotes, the… Expand
