Using a modern imaging technology known as cryo-electron microscopy, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have ...

S ince 1961, there has been an ongoing cholera pandemic, with a rise in cases in 2022. Cholera, caused by the bacterium ...

Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones with the help of enzymes aptly named unfoldases, ...

Protein kinase C-α (PKCα) has been studied widely as a paradigm for conventional PKCs, with two C1 domains (C1A and C1B) being important for the regulation and function of the kinase. However, it is ...

At least 10 different types of globular protein domain are known that bind membrane phospholipids. Acidic phospholipids (especially phosphatidylserine and phosphoinositides) are the primary ...

In this study, the authors present a thorough mechanistic study of the J-domain protein Apj1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, establishing it as a key repressor of Hsf1 during the attenuation phase of the ...

the study uncovers a new regulatory role for a type of protein domains common in many nuclear proteins, but until now only poorly understood. The IDR in TAF2 steers the protein away from active ...

This valuable study focuses on defining how the HSP70 chaperone system utilizes J-domain proteins to regulate the heat shock response-associated transcription factor HSF1. Using a combination of ...

A special enzyme - the so-called ubiquitin-selective unfoldase p97/VCP - is one of the main players when cells remove malformed or excess proteins from their interior. This is the central finding of a ...
