Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of the voltage-gated calcium channel Ca v 1.1 at 3.6 Å resolution

TL;DR: The atomic model of the Cav1.1 complex establishes a foundation for mechanistic understanding of excitation–contraction coupling and provides a three-dimensional template for molecular interpretations of the functions and disease mechanisms of Cav and Nav channels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytoplasmic TDP-43 De-mixing Independent of Stress Granules Drives Inhibition of Nuclear Import, Loss of Nuclear TDP-43, and Cell Death.

TL;DR: It is shown that TDP-43 at its endogenous level undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) within nuclei in multiple cell types and identifies a neuronal cell death mechanism that can be initiated by transient-stress-induced cytosolic de-mixing of T DP-43.
Journal ArticleDOI

The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid phosphoprotein forms mutually exclusive condensates with RNA and the membrane-associated M protein.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that the N protein's central disordered domain drives phase separation with RNA, and that phosphorylation of an adjacent serine/arginine rich region modulates the physical properties of the resulting condensates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alpha-kinase 1 is a cytosolic innate immune receptor for bacterial ADP-heptose

TL;DR: This work combined a transposon screen in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis with biochemical analyses and identified ADP-β-d-manno-heptose (ADP-Hep), which mediates type III secretion system-dependent NF-κB activation and cytokine expression.
