The primary cilium is generally a non-motile solitary organelle that protrudes from a basal body at the cell surface in various cell types in multicellular organisms. This microtubule-based structure acts as a cell signaling platform to con...
Catalytic Domain Plasticity of MKK7 Reveals Structural Mechanisms of Allosteric Activation and Diverse Targeting Opportunities [0.03%]
MKK7的催化结构域可塑性揭示了异构激活的结构机制及多样的靶向机遇

The inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are a ubiquitous group of highly phosphorylated eukaryotic messengers. They have been linked to a panoply of central cellular processes, but a detailed understanding of the discrete signaling events is...
Small Substrate or Large? Debate Over the Mechanism of Glycation Adduct Repair by DJ-1 [0.03%]
小底物还是大底物?关于DJ-1修复糖基化加合物的机制之争

Glycation, the term for non-enzymatic covalent reactions between aldehyde metabolites and nucleophiles on biopolymers, results in deleterious cellular damage and diseases. Since Parkinsonism-associated protein DJ-1 was proposed as a novel d...
Mechanism of Cell Penetration by Permeabilization of Late Endosomes: Interplay between a Multivalent TAT Peptide and Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate [0.03%]
晚期内体透化介导的细胞穿透机制:多价TAT肽与双(单酰甘油)磷酸盐之间的相互作用

Many cellular delivery reagents enter the cytosolic space of cells by escaping the lumen of endocytic organelles and, more specifically, late endosomes. The mechanisms involved in endosomal membrane permeation remain largely unresolved, whi...
Concise Chemoenzymatic Total Synthesis and Identification of Cellular Targets of Cepafungin I [0.03%]
丝孢菌素I的简明化学酶法全合成及其细胞靶点确认
