TL;DR: Evidence is presented that suggests M can adopt two conformations and that membrane curvature is regulated by one M conformer, providing insight into how M protein functions to promote virus assembly.

TL;DR: It is shown that AGS can result from mutations in the genes encoding any one of its three subunits, demonstrating a role for ribonuclease H in human neurological disease and suggesting an unanticipated relationship between ribonUClease H2 and the antiviral immune response that warrants further investigation.
Abstract: Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS) is an autosomal recessive neurological disorder, the clinical and immunological features of which parallel those of congenital viral infection. Here we define the composition of the human ribonuclease H2 enzyme complex and show that AGS can result from mutations in the genes encoding any one of its three subunits. Our findings demonstrate a role for ribonuclease H in human neurological disease and suggest an unanticipated relationship between ribonuclease H2 and the antiviral immune response that warrants further investigation.

TL;DR: It is proposed that one of the major functions of explicit memory is the elimination of learning errors, and by means of a stem completion task, errorless learning is beneficial, with the effect being particularly marked for the amnesic group.

TL;DR: The name Ntn (N-terminal nucleophile) hydrolases is suggested for this structural superfamily of enzymes which appear to be evolutionarily related but which have diverged beyond any recog-nizable sequence similarity.
Abstract: The crystal structures of three amidohydrolases have been determined recently: glutamine PRPP amidotransferase (GAT), penicillin acylase, and the proteasome. These enzymes use the side chain of the amino-terminal residue, incorporated in a beta-sheet, as the nucleophile in the catalytic attack at the carbonyl carbon. The nucleophile is cysteine in GAT, serine in penicillin acylase, and threonine in the proteasome. Here we show that all three enzymes share an unusual fold in which the nucleophile and other catalytic groups occupy equivalent sites. This fold provides both the capacity for nucleophilic attack and the possibility of autocatalytic processing. We suggest the name Ntn (N-terminal nucleophile) hydrolases for this structural superfamily of enzymes which appear to be evolutionarily related but which have diverged beyond any recognizable sequence similarity.
