Structural Insights into Early Spliceosome Assembly by cryo-EM
(2021-12-23)In eukaryotes, splicing is a process during which the non-coding introns of the pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) are removed, and the protein-coding exons are ligated. The introns are defined by conserved 5' splice site (5'SS), ... -
Structural investigation of functional nucleic acids
(2021-06-30)DNA enzymes, also known as deoxyribozymes, are synthetic single-stranded DNA molecules able to catalyze chemical reactions. There are two main reasons for studying deoxyribozymes: their practical value in various applications, ... -
Monitoring dynamics of protein nascent chain on the ribosome using PET-FCS
(2020-06-24)The ribosome synthesizes proteins according to the sequence of the messenger RNA (mRNA) by progressively adding amino acids to the C-terminus of the nascent peptide. For a protein to become fully functional, it has to fold ... -
Reconstitution of retrotranslocation by the Hrd1 ubiquitin ligase with purified components
(2020-03-11)In eukaryotic organisms, a large fraction of newly-synthesized proteins are destined for the endomembrane system or for secretion. The entry gate for these proteins is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Proteins are imported ... -
Molecular architecture of SF3B and the structural basis of splicing modulation
(2019-06-20)During splicing non-coding introns are excised from the transcribed pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA), and the protein-coding exons are ligated to generate the mature mRNA. In cells, the pre-mRNA splicing reaction is catalyzed ... -
Chromatin affinity purification coupled with mass spectrometry indetifies novel histone ubiquitylation interactors
(2018-07-12)Histone ubiquitylation is the post-translational covalent attachment of ubiquitin to histones. Ubiquitylation of histones regulates chromatin-templated processes through a combination of structural and functional effects. ...
