Constitutive activation mechanism of a class C GPCR
Class C G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are activated through binding of agonists to the large extracellular domain (ECD) followed by rearrangement of the transmembrane domains (TMDs). GPR156, a class C or...

Eukaryotic Rad50 functions as a rod-shaped dimer
Structural, biochemical and in vivo analyses reveal that Rad50 zinc-hook and coiled-coil domains form a novel dimerization interface essential for Mre11-complex function in DNA damage response and repair.

Crystal structure of human DGCR8 core
A complex of Drosha with DGCR8 (or its homolog Pasha) cleaves primary microRNA (pri-miRNA) substrates into precursor miRNA and initiates the microRNA maturation process. Drosha provides the catalytic site for ...

Structure-based identification of a novel NTPase from Methanococcus jannaschii
Almost half of the entire set of predicted genomic products from Methanococcus jannaschii are classified as functionally unknown hypothetical proteins. We present a structure-based identification of the biochemic...

Structural similarity between the pocket region of retinoblastoma tumour suppressor and the cyclin-box
The pocket region of retinoblastoma tumour suppressor (Rb) is essential for tumour suppressing activity. The Rb pocket is primarily composed of two domains, A and B. We have determined the X-ray crystal struct...
