The vast majority of phages, bacterial viruses, possess a tail ensuring host recognition, cell wall perforation and safe viral DNA transfer from the capsid to cytoplasm. Long flexible tails are formed tube protein (TTP) polymerised as hexameric rings around stacked along tape measure (TMP). Here, we report crystal structure T5 TTP pb6 at 2.2 Å resolution. Pb6 is unusual in forming trimeric ring, although analysis reveals homology with all classical TTPs related proteins puncturing devices...
Most bacteriophages present a tail allowing host recognition, cell wall perforation, and viral DNA channeling from the capsid to infected bacterium cytoplasm. The majority of tailed phages bear long flexible ( Siphoviridae ) at tip which receptor binding proteins (RBPs) specifically interact with their host, triggering infection. In siphophage T5, unique RBP is located extremity central fiber. We structures T5 tip, determined by cryo–electron microscopy before after interaction its E. coli...
Introducing an unprecedented nucleating and phasing agent for protein crystallography that presents convenient luminescence properties.
Abstract Solid‐state NMR spectroscopy can provide insight into protein structure and dynamics at the atomic level without inherent size limitations. However, a major hurdle to studying large proteins by solid‐state is related spectral complexity resonance overlap, which increase with molecular weight severely hamper assignment process. Here use of two sets experiments shown expand tool kit 1 H‐detected approaches, correlate given amide pair either adjacent CO–CA pairs (4D hCOCANH/hCOCAcoNH),...
Initially, the two members of class 18 myosins, Myo18A and Myo18B, appeared to exhibit highly divergent functions, complicating assignment class-specific functions. However, identification a striated muscle-specific isoform Myo18A, Myo18Aγ, suggests that myosins may have evolved complement functions conventional 2 in sarcomeres. Indeed, both genes,
Abstract. Amide-proton detected magic-angle spinning NMR of deuterated proteins has become a main technique in NMR-based structural biology. In standard deuteration protocols that rely on D2O-based culture media, non-exchangeable amide sites remain deuterated, making these unobservable. Here we demonstrate produced with H2O-based medium doped cell lysate allow to overcome this "reprotonation bottleneck", while retaining high level (ca. 80 %) and narrow line widths. We quantified coherence...

Abstract The vast majority of bacteriophages (phages) - bacterial viruses present a tail that allows host recognition, cell wall perforation and safe channelling the viral DNA from capsid to cytoplasm infected bacterium. tailed phages bears long flexible ( Siphoviridae ) at distal end which tip complex, often called baseplate, harbours one or more Receptor Binding Protein·s (RBPs). Interaction between RBPs surface triggers ejection, but little is known on these mechanisms for . Here, we...
