TLDR
Two computer programs are presented, CTFFIND3 and CTFTILT, which determine defocus parameters from images of untilted specimens, as well as defocus and tilt parameters from image of tilted specimens, respectively, using a simple algorithm.

Acquisition of functions on the outer capsid surface during evolution of double-stranded RNA fungal viruses.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the intimate virus-fungus partnership has altered the capsid genome-protective and/or receptor-binding functions in Rosellinia necatrix quadrivirus 1, indicating that Fungal virus evolution has tended to allocate enzyme activities to the virus capsid outer surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Architecture of Yeast DNA Polymerase ζ

TL;DR: It is shown that Polζ-d has a bilobal architecture resembling the replicative polymerases and that Pol32 lies in proximity to Rev7, and a structural framework for understanding their roles in DNA damage bypass is provided.

Structure of Yin Yang 1 Oligomers That Cooperate with RuvBL1-RuvBL2 ATPases

TL;DR: It is shown that YY1 and the ATPase activity of RuvBL2 are required for RAD51 foci formation during homologous recombination, and these findings suggest that Yy1-RuvBL1- RuvBL2 complexes could contribute to functions beyond transcription.

Two p53 tetramers bind one consensus DNA response element

TL;DR: The EM structural analysis revealed that two p53 tetramers bind one DNA RE simultaneously with DNA positioned between them, demonstrating a mode different from that assumed previously for the p53-DNA interaction and suggesting important biological implications on p53 activity as a transcriptional regulator of cellular response to stress.

Structures of Mycobacterium smegmatis 70S ribosomes in complex with HPF, tmRNA, and P-tRNA

TL;DR: The authors' structural data shows a Mycobacteria-specific H54a-bS1 interaction which seems to prevent subunit dissociation and degradation during hibernation without the formation of 100S dimer, which indicates a new role of bS1 protein in 70S protection during hibernating in Myc Cobacteria in addition to its conserved function during translation initiation.

Three-dimensional model of purple membrane obtained by electron microscopy

TL;DR: A 7-Å resolution map of the purple membrane has been obtained by electron microscopy of tilted, unstained specimens and shows that Lipid bilayer regions fill the spaces between the protein molecules.

Structure of the alpha beta tubulin dimer by electron crystallography.

TL;DR: An atomic model of the αβ tubulin dimer fitted to a 3.7-Å density map obtained by electron crystallography of zinc-induced tubulin sheets is presented.

Structural determinants of water permeation through aquaporin-1.

TL;DR: An atomic model of human red cell AQP1 is described, providing a possible molecular explanation to a longstanding puzzle in physiology—how membranes can be freely permeable to water but impermeable to protons.

Structure of dengue virus: implications for flavivirus organization, maturation, and fusion.

TL;DR: The first structure of a flavivirus has been determined by using a combination of cryoelectron microscopy and fitting of the known structure of glycoprotein E into the electron density map, suggesting that flaviviruses employ a fusion mechanism in which the distal beta barrels of domain II of the glycop Protein E are inserted into the cellular membrane.

A ratchet-like inter-subunit reorganization of the ribosome during translocation.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional cryo-electron microscopy maps of the Escherichia coli 70S ribosome in various functional states show that both EF-G binding and subsequent GTP hydrolysis lead to ratchet-like rotations of the small 30S sub unit relative to the large 50S subunit, indicating a two-step mechanism of translocation.
