Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is a key metabolic process that couples redox energy to ATP production. While some core OXPHOS complex subunits are found across all domains of life, many have diverged or expanded across evolution?as seen in the...
Gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by a multilayered cell envelope with a mostly impermeable outer membrane that provides intrinsic resistance to many antibiotics1–5. The outer membrane is an asymmetrical bilayer with phospholipids in the inner leaflet...
The ciliary transition zone (TZ) regulates ciliary proteome composition, yet its molecular architecture, protein content, and contribution to motile ciliopathies remain poorly defined. We applied in situ cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram averaging...
Cell entry of nonenveloped animal viruses requires translocation of a macromolecular assembly across a cellular membrane. Double-stranded RNA viruses introduce into the target cell an inner capsid particle that does not uncoat further. Instead, it...
Poxviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses with large genomes. Among them, monkeypox virus (MPXV) has been responsible for two recent public health emergencies as declared by the World Health Organization1. The MPXV polymerase comprises three subunits—a...
Targeted protein degradation is a powerful pharmacological strategy that harnesses the ubiquitin proteasome system to eliminate disease-relevant proteins, including otherwise undruggable proteins1. Here we report an unbiased and broadly applicable...
The divisome apparatus synthesizes septal peptidoglycan (PG) during bacterial division. In Escherichia coli, the class A penicillin-binding protein (aPBP) called PBP1b has been implicated in division, but its role in the process has remained unclear. Here...
Babesia are tick-borne intracellular apicomplexan parasites that infect a wide range of wild and domestic animals (e.g., cattle), resulting in significant economic losses to the livestock industry. Humans are considered accidental hosts for a few Babesia...
Lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) cooperate with oncogenes such as c-Myc, estrogen receptor, and lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A) fusions to sustain malignant programs. Targeting of KAT proteins has shown clinical efficacy; however, achieving homolog...
The proteasome is the molecular machine responsible for most intracellular protein degradation. Proteolysis occurs within its central core particle which is regulated by different binding partners, including the regulatory particle (RP), PA28, and Blm10...
Transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II is a tightly regulated process that requires coordinated interactions between transcription elongation factors. IWS1 (Interacts with SPT6) has been implicated as a core elongation factor, but its molecular...
The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria contains a wide variety of integral β-barrel proteins. Here, we study the conserved β-barrel assembly machine which is responsible for folding and inserting these membrane β-barrels. By determining the...
