Open AccessThe structural basis for light acclimation in phycobilisome light harvesting systems systems in Porphyridium purpureum
Photosynthetic organisms adapt to changing light conditions by manipulating their light harvesting complexes. Biophysical, biochemical, physiological and genetic aspects of these processes are studied extensiv...

Open AccessNear-atomic structure of the inner ring of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae nuclear pore complex
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) mediate bidirectional nucleocytoplasmic transport of substances in eukaryotic cells. However, the accurate molecular arrangement of NPCs remains enigmatic owing to their huge size...

Open AccessAntenna arrangement and energy-transfer pathways of PSI–LHCI from the moss Physcomitrella patens
Plants harvest light energy utilized for photosynthesis by light-harvesting complex I and II (LHCI and LHCII) surrounding photosystem I and II (PSI and PSII), respectively. During the evolution of green plants...

Open AccessStructural basis for specific flagellin recognition by the NLR protein NAIP5
The nucleotide-binding domain- and leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-containing proteins (NLRs) function as intracellular immune receptors to detect the presence of pathogen- or host-derived signals. The mechanisms of...

Structural organization of an intact phycobilisome and its association with photosystem II
Phycobilisomes (PBSs) are light-harvesting antennae that transfer energy to photosynthetic reaction centers in cyanobacteria and red algae. PBSs are supermolecular complexes composed of phycobiliproteins (PBPs...

Cryo-EM structure of SNAP-SNARE assembly in 20S particle
N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) and α soluble NSF attachment proteins (α-SNAPs) work together within a 20S particle to disassemble and recycle the SNAP receptor (SNARE) complex after intracellular memb...

The identification of a new actin-binding region in p57
The actin-binding protein p57 is a member of mammalian coronin-like proteins. The roles of this protein in phagocytic processes conceivably depend on its interactions with F-actin. Two regions, p571-34 and p57111...
