Journal ArticleDOI
RNF8 Transduces the DNA-Damage Signal via Histone Ubiquitylation and Checkpoint Protein Assembly.
Michael S.Y. Huen,Robert A. Grant,Isaac A. Manke,Kay Minn,Xiaochun Yu,Michael B. Yaffe,Junjie Chen +6 more
TL;DR: This study implicates RNF8 as a novel DNA-damage-responsive protein that integrates protein phosphorylation and ubiquitylation signaling and plays a critical role in the cellular response to genotoxic stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and selection of novel Cys2His2 zinc finger proteins.
TL;DR: Although there is no simple, general code for zinc finger-DNA recognition, selection strategies have been developed that allow these proteins to be targeted to almost any desired site on double-stranded DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sculpting the Proteome with AAA+ Proteases and Disassembly Machines
Robert T. Sauer,Daniel N. Bolon,Briana M. Burton,Randall E. Burton,Julia M. Flynn,Robert A. Grant,Greg L. Hersch,Shilpa A. Joshi,Jon A. Kenniston,Igor Levchenko,Saskia B. Neher,Elizabeth S.C. Oakes,Samia M. Siddiqui,David A. Wah,Tania A. Baker +14 more
TL;DR: Exciting progress has been made in understanding how AAA(+) machines recognize specific proteins as targets and then carry out ATP-dependent dismantling of the tertiary and/or quaternary structure of these molecules during the processes of protein degradation and the disassembly of macromolecular complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A structural basis for 14-3-3sigma functional specificity.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that endogenous 14-3-3σ preferentially forms homodimers in cells and a conserved mechanism for phospho-dependent ligand binding is revealed, implying that the phosphopeptide binding cleft is not the critical determinant of the unique biological properties of 14- 3- 3σ.
Journal ArticleDOI
A synthetic coiled-coil interactome provides heterospecific modules for molecular engineering.
TL;DR: The coiled-coil toolkit is greatly expanded by measuring the complete pairwise interactions of 48 synthetic coiled coils and 7 human bZIP coiled coil using peptide microarrays, resulting in a 55-member protein "interactome" that includes 27 pairs of interacting peptides that preferentially heteroassociate.
