Fabs enable single particle cryoEM studies of small proteins.
In spite of its recent achievements, the technique of single particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryoEM) has not been widely used to study proteins smaller than 100 kDa, although it is a highly desirable application of this technique. One fundamental limitation is that images of small proteins embedded in vitreous ice do not contain adequate features for accurate image alignment. We describe a ge...
متن کاملSingle Particle CryoEM of the Anthrax Toxin Initial Engagement Complex
The lethality of anthrax, a zoonotic disease and bioterrorism agent, is due to the anthrax toxin. This tripartitate toxin consists of protective antigen (PA), lethal factor (LF), and edema factor (EF). The 440 kDa heptameric PA prepore binds up to three molecules of LF, a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase protease, and/or EF, an adenylate cyclase. This entire complex, bound to receptor pr...
متن کاملNumerical Studies of the Solar Energetic Particle Transport and Acceleration
Solar energetic particles often get accelerated to energies up to few GeV at interplanetary shock waves driven by Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and are of considerable importance for space weather studies because they can produce radiation hazards for manned or unmanned spacecraft. Particles accelerated at the shock wave can escape upstream and downstream into the interplanetary medium. As the ...
متن کاملSingle-particle imaging reveals intraflagellar transport-independent transport and accumulation of EB1 in Chlamydomonas flagella.
The microtubule (MT) plus-end tracking protein EB1 is present at the tips of cilia and flagella; end-binding protein 1 (EB1) remains at the tip during flagellar shortening and in the absence of intraflagellar transport (IFT), the predominant protein transport system in flagella. To investigate how EB1 accumulates at the flagellar tip, we used in vivo imaging of fluorescent protein-tagged EB1 (E...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide (LPS) disrupts particle transport, cilia function and sperm motility in an ex vivo oviduct model.
The oviduct functions in the transportation of gametes to the site of fertilization (the ampulla) and is the site of early embryonic development. Alterations of this early developmental environment, such as the presence of sexually transmitted pathogens, may affect oviduct function leading to reduced fertilization rates and contribute to compromised embryonic development. In this study, sperm i...
