Structures of human γδ T cell receptor-CD3 complex.

Gamma delta (γδ) T cells, a unique T cell subgroup, are crucial in various immune responses and immunopathology. The γδ T cell receptor (TCR), which is generated by γδ T cells, recognizes a diverse range of antigens independently of the major histocompatibility complex. The γδ TCR associates with CD3 subunits, initiating T cell activation and holding great potential in immunotherapy.

Comprehensive structural analysis reveals broad-spectrum neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants.

The pandemic of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread around the world. Mutant strains of SARS-CoV-2 are constantly emerging. At present, Omicron variants have become mainstream.

Cryo-EM structure of the human IgM B cell receptor.

The B cell receptor (BCR) initiates immune responses through antigen recognition. We report a 3.3-angstrom cryo-electron microscopy structure of human immunoglobulin M (IgM)-BCR in the resting state.

Cryo-EM structures of recombinant human sodium-potassium pump determined in three different states.

Sodium-Potassium Pump (Na/K-ATPase, NKA) is an ion pump that generates an electrochemical gradient of sodium and potassium ions across the plasma membrane by hydrolyzing ATP. During each Post-Albers cycle, NKA exchanges three cytoplasmic sodium ions for two extracellular potassium ions through alternating changes between the E1 and E2 states. Hitherto, several steps remained unknown during the complete working cycle of NKA.

Rational exploration of fold atlas for human solute carrier proteins.

The solute carrier (SLC) superfamily is the largest group of proteins responsible for the transmembrane transport of substances in human cells. It includes more than 400 members that are organized into 65 families according to their physiological function and sequence similarity. Different families of SLCs can adopt the same or different folds that determine the mechanism and reflect the evolutionary relationship between SLC members.
