Our next story (very soon) will focus on the interaction between this enzyme and Pex5, the main receptor for peroxisomal import.
A lot more cool stuff to discover!
The first part of a story about the unexpected oligomerisation of a yeast peroxisomal enzyme.
Great collaboration with @lill_pascal and @GatsogiannisLab.
Asymmetric horseshoe-like assembly of peroxisomal Yeast Oxalyl-CoA synthetase https://t.co/4oMHFyaetv
Oxalyl-CoA synthetase being one of the most abundant protein found in peroxisomes, we propose that its oligomerisation helps import into peroxisomes under specific growth conditions.
Another preprint from the lab! We built a structural atlas of protein compensatory substitutions: The structural determinants of intra-protein compensatory substitutions https://t.co/QSXrwdrup5
Work led by Shilpi Chaurasia. Here is what we did and found (thread)
Please check out our recent study @NatureCellBio. Using single protein tracking and optical tweezers to show that actin elongation forces control actin regulator dynamics and functions at the leading edge of membrane protrusions during cell migration.

We combined #AlphaFold and #cryoEM to build a new model of the nuclear pore complex, the largest complex in the human cell!
The structure covered by the model is 15x bigger than the human ribosome and 2x bigger than old nuclear pore models. 1/7

Since the publication of #AlphaFold2 and #RoseTTAFold and now that the tools and models have been made accessible, there has been an avalanche of attempts to solve old crystal structures. This thread covers tips from the #PhaserTeam for doing #MR with these models. (1/...)
EMBL and @DeepMind have partnered – a breakthrough for science.
Together, we're providing a treasure trove of protein structure predictions powered by #AlphaFold to herald a new era for #AI-enabled biology.

This thread is about alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) - meat allergy induced by tick bites. I’ve been living with AGS for >2 yrs. I hope this info will help those who suffer from this illness without knowing the cause. Please help bring awareness to #AGS (1/n)

There are 297 new #PDB entries this week, including this #cryoEM structure of the mycobacterial ESX-5 Type VII Secretion System hexameric pore complex (7b9s), solved to 3.4 A resolution and published in @ScienceAdvances. View all new entries at https://t.co/54E03LeH5m
Structural snapshots of human PepT1 and PepT2 reveal mechanistic insights into substrate and drug transport across epithelial membranes https://t.co/RZK9mljkHG
In a new study, I identify and recover a deleted set of #SARSCoV2 sequences that provide additional information about viruses from the early Wuhan outbreak: https://t.co/1zdeiOQ0vo (1/n)
