Structural basis of BAK sequestration by MCL-1 in apoptosis

Alexander Myasnikov, Emiko Uchikawa

Apoptosis controls cell fate, ensuring tissue homeostasis and promoting disease when dysregulated. The rate-limiting step in apoptosis is mitochondrial poration by the effector B cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) family proteins BAK and BAX, which are activated by i ...

Atomic Insights Reveal Fidelity Mechanisms of Eukaryotic Protein Synthesis

Alexander Myasnikov

Protein synthesis involves a critical step where messenger RNA (mRNA) and transfer RNAs (tRNAs) must move in tandem to advance the mRNA reading frame by one codon. This process, known as translocation, is catalyzed by elongation factor G (EF-G) in prokaryo ...

Cryo-EM structures and binding of mouse and human ACE2 to SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern indicate that mutations enabling immune escape could expand host range

Didier Trono, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Priscilla Turelli, Florence Pojer, Dongchun Ni, Kelvin Ka Ching Lau, Sergey Nazarov, Alexander Myasnikov, Bertrand Dominique Beckert, Emiko Uchikawa

nvestigation of potential hosts of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is crucial to understanding future risks of spillover and spillback. SARS-CoV-2 has been reported to be transmitted from humans to various animals after req ...

Structural insights into the regulation of Cas7-11 by TPR-CHAT

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Dongchun Ni, Sergey Nazarov, Babatunde Edukpe Ekundayo, Alexander Myasnikov, Bertrand Dominique Beckert

The CRISPR-guided caspase (Craspase) complex is an assembly of the target-specific RNA nuclease known as Cas7-11 bound to CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and an ancillary protein known as TPR-CHAT (tetratricopeptide repeats (TPR) fused with a CHAT domain). The Craspase ...
