Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal Structures of DNA-Whirly Complexes and Their Role in Arabidopsis Organelle Genome Repair

TL;DR: This work shows that plastids and mitochondria can repair DNA double-strand breaks through an error-prone pathway similar to the microhomology-mediated break-induced replication observed in humans, yeast, and bacteria and solves the crystal structures of several Whirly-DNA complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aldolase is essential for energy production and bridging adhesin-actin cytoskeletal interactions during parasite invasion of host cells.

TL;DR: These studies demonstrate that aldolase is not only required for energy production but is also essential for efficient host cell invasion, based on its ability to bridge adhesin-cytoskeleton interactions in the parasite.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new family of plant transcription factors displays a novel ssDNA-binding surface.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of p24, the single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding subunit of the plant defense transcription factor PBF-2, has been determined to 2.3 Å resolution and the noncrystallographic C4 symmetry arrangement of p 24 subunits is novel for ssDNA binding proteins and may explain the binding specificity of P BF-2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Product binding and role of the C-terminal region in Class I D-fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate aldolase

TL;DR: The structure of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase shows three distinct modes of product binding that are correlated to the disposition of the C-terminal region and depicts a possible trajectory for product exchange.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure–Function Profile of MmpL3, the Essential Mycolic Acid Transporter from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: The combined genetic, biochemical, and biophysical studies indicate that MmpL3 and CmpL1 are structurally similar to Gram-negative resistance-nodulation and division efflux pumps and that multiresistance to these inhibitors is enabled by conformational changes in MMPL3.
