Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is estimated that the new method should allow rapid structure determination without experimental phase information for over half the cases where current methods fail, given diffraction data sets of better than 3.2 Å resolution, four or fewer copies in the asymmetric unit, and the availability of structures of homologous proteins with >20% sequence identity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular insights into substrate recognition and catalysis by tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase.
Farhad Forouhar,J. L. Ross Anderson,Christopher G. Mowat,Sergey M. Vorobiev,A. Hussain,Mariam Abashidze,Chiara Bruckmann,Sarah J. Thackray,Jayaraman Seetharaman,Todd Tucker,Rong Xiao,Li Chung Ma,Li Zhao,Thomas Acton,Gaetano T. Montelione,Stephen K Chapman,Liang Tong +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, structural and biochemical studies of the Xanthomonas campestris TDO and a related protein SO4414 from Shewanella oneidensis were performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of nonvertebrate actin: Implications for the ATP hydrolytic mechanism

TL;DR: This work aims to demonstrate the efforts towards in-situ applicability of x-ray diffraction-spot assisted, 3D image analysis to provide real-time information about the response of the immune system to x-rays.
Journal ArticleDOI
UNC119 is required for G protein trafficking in sensory neurons
Houbin Zhang,Ryan Constantine,Sergey M. Vorobiev,Yang Chen,Jayaraman Seetharaman,Yuanpeng J. Huang,Rong Xiao,Gaetano T. Montelione,Cecilia D. Gerstner,M. Wayne Davis,George Inana,Frank G. Whitby,Erik M. Jorgensen,Erik M. Jorgensen,Christopher P. Hill,Liang Tong,Wolfgang Baehr +16 more
TL;DR: UNC119 is a Gα subunit cofactor essential for G protein trafficking in sensory cilia, thereby providing a stable UNC119–Tα-GTP complex capable of diffusing from the inner segment back to the outer segment after light-induced translocation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Kinetic experiments indicate that the active site cysteines are rapidly acylated as programmed by design, but the subsequent slow hydrolysis of the acyl-enzyme intermediate limits overall catalytic efficiency, which highlights the challenges that computational design must overcome to achieve high levels of activity.
