Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of protein contaminants on the crystallization of turkey egg white lysozyme
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of studies on the controlled contamination of crystallizing solutions of the hexagonal form of turkey egg white lysozyme (TEWL) carried out to understand the effects of impurities on the nucleation and growth of protein crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural variability and complexity of the giant Pithovirus sibericum particle revealed by high-voltage electron cryo-tomography and energy-filtered electron cryo-microscopy.
Kenta Okamoto,Naoyuki Miyazaki,Chihong Song,Filipe R. N. C. Maia,Hemanth K. N. Reddy,Chantal Abergel,Jean-Michel Claverie,Janos Hajdu,Martin Svenda,Kazuyoshi Murata +9 more
TL;DR: Observations suggest that the interior of the giant Pithovirus sibericum particle is densely packed with macromolecules in addition to the genomic nucleic acid, suggesting an internal compartmentalisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Giant DNA Virus Mimivirus Encodes Pathway for Biosynthesis of Unusual Sugar 4-Amino-4,6-dideoxy-d-glucose (Viosamine)
Francesco Piacente,Margherita Marin,Antonio Molinaro,Cristina De Castro,Virginie Seltzer,Annalisa Salis,Gianluca Damonte,Cinzia Bernardi,Jean-Michel Claverie,Chantal Abergel,Michela Tonetti +10 more
TL;DR: The data give further support to the hypothesis that Mimivirus encodes a glycosylation system that is completely independent of the amoebal host, and the sugar composition of viral fibers is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isoform purification of gastric lipases. Towards crystallization.
Hervé Moreau,Chantal Abergel,Frédéric Carrière,Francine Ferrato,Juan C. Fontecilla-Camps,Christian Cambillau,Robert Verger +6 more
TL;DR: Several isoforms of rabbit and human gastric lipases have been purified as discussed by the authors, which have the same apparent molecular weight (M r ~ 50,000), but very different isoelectric points.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virus-encoded histone doublets are essential and form nucleosome-like structures.
Yang Liu,Yang Liu,Hugo Bisio,Chelsea Marie Toner,Sandra Jeudy,Nadège Philippe,Keda Zhou,Samuel Bowerman,Alison E. White,Garrett B. Edwards,Chantal Abergel,Karolin Luger,Karolin Luger +12 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that doublet histones are essential for viral infectivity, localize to cytoplasmic viral factories after virus infection, and ultimately are found in the mature virions.
