Journal ArticleDOI

The binding mode of epothilone A on alpha,beta-tubulin by electron crystallography

TL;DR: Comparison with Taxol shows that the longstanding expectation of a common pharmacophore is not met, because each ligand exploits the tubulin-binding pocket in a unique and independent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

The binding conformation of Taxol in β-tubulin: A model based on electron crystallographic density

TL;DR: The crystallographic density is correlated with analysis of Taxol conformations and the unique solution is found to be a T-shaped Taxol structure, which is optimized within the β-tubulin site and exhibits functional similarity to a portion of the B9-B10 loop in the α- Tubulin subunit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis for G9a-like protein lysine methyltransferase inhibition by BIX-01294

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the catalytic SET domain of GLP in complex with BIX-01294 and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine is presented and it is shown that the inhibitor resembles the bound conformation of histone H3 Lys4 to Arg8, and is positioned in place by residues specific for G9a and GLP through specific interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Facial symmetry in protein self-assembly.

TL;DR: Spectroscopic and microscopy analyses are combined to reveal the subtle atomic-level differences that dictate assembly of two conformationally pure Abeta(16-22) assemblies, amyloid fibers and nanotubes, and define the minimal repeating unit for each assembly.
