High‐level Biosynthetic Substitution of Methionine in Proteins by its Analogs 2‐Aminohexanoic Acid, Selenomethionine, Telluromethionine and Ethionine in Escherichia coli

TL;DR: This work describes the first biosynthetic high-level substitution of methionine by 2-aminohexanoic acid (norleucine), ethionine and telluromethionine in a protein, and confirms the replacement has been confirmed by electrospray mass spectroscopy, amino acid analysis and X-ray structural analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence statistics reliably predict stabilizing mutations in a protein domain.

TL;DR: Analyzing constraints in the conceptual framework of statistical mechanics is able to predict stabilizing mutations in the McPC603 V kappa domain from sequence information alone with better than 60% success rate and may be generalized to engineer other proteins for higher stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

ROS-induced mitochondrial depolarization initiates PARK2/PARKIN-dependent mitochondrial degradation by autophagy

TL;DR: It is shown that elongated mitochondria are more resistant to ROS-induced damage and mitophagy compared with fragmented mitochondria, suggesting that mitochondrial morphology has an important role in regulating ROS andMitophagy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of P22 tailspike protein: interdigitated subunits in a thermostable trimer.

TL;DR: The tailspike protein of Salmonella typhimurium phage P22 is a part of the apparatus by which the phage attaches to the bacterial host and hydrolyzes the O antigen and has served as a model system for genetic and biochemical analysis of protein folding.
