Relaxed and active thin filament structures; a new structural basis for the regulatory mechanism.
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2017-03-01)
The structures of muscle thin filaments reconstituted using skeletal actin and cardiac troponin and tropomyosin have been determined with and without bound Ca2+ using electron microscopy and reference-free single particle ...
High-resolution cryo-EM proteasome structures in drug development.
(INT UNION CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, 2017-06-01)
With the recent advances in biological structural electron microscopy (EM), protein structures can now be obtained by cryo-EM and single-particle analysis at resolutions that used to be achievable only by crystallographic ...
Myosin and Actin Filaments in Muscle: Structures and Interactions.
(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2017-01-01)
In the last decade, improvements in electron microscopy and image processing have permitted significantly higher resolutions to be achieved (sometimes <1 nm) when studying isolated actin and myosin filaments. In the case ...
RET recognition of GDNF-GFRα1 ligand by a composite binding site promotes membrane-proximal self-association.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-09-25)
The RET receptor tyrosine kinase is essential to vertebrate development and implicated in multiple human diseases. RET binds a cell surface bipartite ligand comprising a GDNF family ligand and a GFRα coreceptor, resulting ...
Tankyrase Requires SAM Domain-Dependent Polymerization to Support Wnt-β-Catenin Signaling.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-08-04)
The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) Tankyrase (TNKS and TNKS2) is paramount to Wnt-β-catenin signaling and a promising therapeutic target in Wnt-dependent cancers. The pool of active β-catenin is normally limited by ...
