Journal ArticleDOI

Expansion of Biological Pathways Based on Evolutionary Inference

TL;DR: A computational algorithm, clustering by inferred models of evolution (CLIME), which inputs a eukaryotic species tree, homology matrix, and pathway (gene set) of interest, and reveals unanticipated evolutionary modularity and coevolving components.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Compendium of Genetic Modifiers of Mitochondrial Dysfunction Reveals Intra-organelle Buffering

TL;DR: Perhaps paradoxically, certain forms of mitochondrial dysfunction may best be buffered with "second site" inhibitors to the organelle, which benefits cells by rebalancing redox cofactors, increasing reductive carboxylation, and promoting glycolysis.
ComponentDOI

Cryo-EM structures of ASC and NLRC4 CARD filaments reveal a unified mechanism of nucleation and activation of caspase-1.

TL;DR: Cryo-electron microscopy structures of NLRC4 CARD and ASC CARD filaments mediated by conserved three types of asymmetric interactions are presented, which indicate a unified mechanism for downstream caspase-1 recruitment through CARD–CARD interactions by both adaptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cryo-EM structure of the DNA-PK holoenzyme.

TL;DR: Cryo-electron microscopy structures of the DNA-PK complex lead to a partial model for the interactions between DNA- PKcs and the Ku70/80 complex, and reveal how theDNA- PK complex may bring free ends of damaged DNA for repair.
ComponentDOI

Assembly mechanism of the CARMA1-BCL10-MALT1-TRAF6 signalosome.

TL;DR: Cryo-electron microscopy data reveal biophysical mechanisms in the assembly of the CARMA1-BCL10-MALT1-TRAF6 complex for signal transduction and suggest immediate dimerization of MALT1 in the BCL10 filamentous scaffold.
