DirectContacts2: a wiring diagram of human physical protein interactions

Erin R. Claussen, Miles D Woodcock-Girard, Susan M. Fischer, Kevin Drew

Abstract Cellular function is driven by the activity of proteins in stable complexes. Protein complex assembly depends on the direct physical association of component proteins. Advances in macromolecular structure prediction with tools like AlphaFold and RoseTTAFold have greatly…

Carbohydrate-active enzymes of soil prophages enhance global carbon cycling potential

Hanpeng Liao, Chaofan Ai, Chen Liu, Hongbo Zhang, Dong Zhang, Pengfa Li, et al.

Recent work suggests that soil-borne viruses play an important role in controlling carbon (C) cycling and stocks. However, the contribution of individual prophage (i.e., temperate phages residing within bacterial hosts during lysogenic cycle) to C degradation remains largely undo…

Deciphering the initiation pathway of CagT4SS assembly by in vitro reconstitution of subcomplexes

Hoi Yee Chu, Chin Yu Mok, You-Rong Lin, Huawei Zhang, Takayuki Uchihashi, Shannon Wing Ngor Au

Abstract Cag type IV secretion system (CagT4SS) mediates the translocation of diverse substrates and is critical for the Helicobacter pylori pathogenesis. Its assembly is initiated by the central cylinder comprising CagX, CagY and CagM, however, the order and detailed mechanism r…

Polymorphic IGLV6-57 AL amyloid fibrils and features of a shared folding pathway

Parker Bassett, Binh A. Nguyen, Virender Singh, Patrick T. Garrett, James J. Moresco, Joshua Eddy, et al.

Immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a systemic disorder caused by the misfolding and aggregation of free immunoglobulin light chains (LCs) secreted by abnormal plasma cells. The resulting amyloid fibrils deposit in multiple organs, leading to progressive dysfunction an…
