Structural insight into LexA–RecA* interaction
RecA protein is a hallmark for the bacterial response to insults inflicted on DNA. It catalyzes the strand exchange step of homologous recombination and stimulates self-inactivation of the LexA transcriptional repressor. Importantly, by these activities, RecA contributes to the antibiotic resistance of bacteria. An original way to decrease the acquisition of antibiotic resistance would be to bl...
متن کاملApplication of Structural Interaction Fingerpints (SIFts) into post-docking analysis - insight into activity and selectivity
Cheminformatic methods, such as Virtual Screening, constitute a vital part of modern drug design process. This technique enables not only viable prediction of physicochemical properties of the molecules, but also effective database mining, being particularly useful tool in search for ligands of desired activity. Successful performance in case of single target drugs, implies a potential to exten...
متن کاملStructural insight into African horsesickness virus infection.
African horsesickness (AHS) is a devastating disease of horses. The disease is caused by the double-stranded RNA-containing African horsesickness virus (AHSV). Using electron cryomicroscopy and three-dimensional image reconstruction, we determined the architecture of an AHSV serotype 4 (AHSV-4) reference strain. The structure revealed triple-layered AHS virions enclosing the segmented genome an...
متن کاملStructural Insight into RNA Hairpin Folding Intermediates
Hairpins are a ubiquitous secondary structure motif in RNA molecules. Despite their simple structure, there is some debate over whether they fold in a two-state or multi-state manner. We have studied the folding of a small tetraloop hairpin using a serial version of replica exchange molecular dynamics on a distributed computing environment. On the basis of these simulations, we have identified ...
متن کاملStructural insight into TPX2-stimulated microtubule assembly
During mitosis and meiosis, microtubule (MT) assembly is locally upregulated by the chromatin-dependent Ran-GTP pathway. One of its key targets is the MT-associated spindle assembly factor TPX2. The molecular mechanism of how TPX2 stimulates MT assembly remains unknown because structural information about the interaction of TPX2 with MTs is lacking. Here, we determine the cryo-electron microsco...
