Proteostasis is the finely tuned balance of protein synthesis, folding and degradation essential for cellular health. When this equilibrium is disrupted, misfolded proteins accumulate, triggering adaptive stress responses such as the unfold...
Aurora B kinase phosphorylates keratin 8 at the cleavage furrow to drive spatially restricted intermediate filament disassembly during cytokinesis [0.03%]
极光B激酶在分裂沟中通过磷酸化角蛋白8介导细胞质分裂期间中间纤维的位点特异性拆解

Female breast development occurs at puberty and undergoes many cyclic changes under normal physiological conditions, like pregnancy, lactation and involution. The breast epithelium is surrounded by a heterogenous stroma that encompasses var...
Elucidating the catalytic mechanism of a previously undescribed carbohydrate esterase family 7 acetyl xylan esterase (LaCE7A) [0.03%]
阐明之前未描述的碳水化合物酯酶家族7木聚糖乙酰酯酶(LaCE7A)的催化机制

Acetyl xylan esterases (AcXEs) are crucial for biomass degradation. However, the catalytic mechanism underlying the highly specific activity remains poorly understood, limiting their rational engineering. Here, we characterized the previous...
A new branch of mammalian vitamin B6 metabolism: AKR1C-mediated conversion of pyridoxal to pyridoxine and 4-pyridoxolactone [0.03%]
维生素B6代谢的一个新分支:AKR1C介导的吡哆醛转化为吡哆醇和4-吡哆醇 lactone

ABA3 proteins are a group of terpenoid cyclases (TCs), which share very low sequence identity with known proteins and lack signature Mg2+ ion-binding motifs used to define TCs. The first characterised ABA3 from Botrytis cinerea catalyses th...
Unveiling the influence of salt concentration on the different stages of the catalytic cycle of a halophilic enzyme [0.03%]
揭秘盐浓度对嗜盐酶催化循环各阶段的影响

Enzymes from halophilic organisms function in near-saturating salt concentrations. To explore enzyme adaptation to these conditions and the broader effects of salt on enzyme catalysis, we examined the salt effect on the kinetics of a glucos...
Determination of the water network surrounding the type I pilus from Escherichia coli by cryo-electron microscopy [0.03%]
