The study shows how the proteolytic mechanism of activation of the complex proteinases has been adapted to cell signaling in vertebrate organisms, offers a description of monomeric and dimeric ligand-receptor complexes, and provides a foundation to the structural basis of HGF/SF-MET signaling.

The determination of the molecular organization of the skin's lipid matrix in situ, in its near-native state, is reported on, using a methodological approach combining very high magnification cryo-electron microscopy of vitreous skin section defocus series, molecular modeling, and EM simulation.

Using electron tomography, it is shown that the slit diaphragm comprises a network of winding molecular strands with pores the same size as or smaller than albumin molecules, as demonstrated in humans, rats, and mice, and the results suggest the direct involvement of nephrin molecules in constituting the macromolecule-retaining slit diphragm and its pores.

The structural data show that the spliceosome is not a structurally well‐defined unit in situ and that the C‐terminal domain of the elongating RNA polymerase II cannot carry splicedosomal components for all introns in the BR3 transcript.
Electron Tomography Reveals Posttranscriptional Binding of Pre-Mrnps to Specific Fibers in the Nucleoplasm

Observations indicate that pre-mRNPs are not always freely diffusible in the nucleoplasm but interact with fibers of specific structure and composition, which implies that some of the posttranscriptional events that the pre- mRNPs undergo before reaching the NPC occur in a bound state.
