Article Synopsis
- Many microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and plants, have a protective cell wall that offers strength and protection, especially important for pathogens during host interaction.
- Solid-state NMR has gained attention as a technique to analyze the molecular structure of these cell walls, focusing on the composition of polysaccharides.
- This study explores a method called DREAM to enhance NMR analysis, showcasing its effectiveness in identifying polysaccharide signals in intact fungal cells, and discussing its potential for studying more complex cell surfaces.
Signalosomes are high-order protein machineries involved in complex mechanisms controlling regulated immune defense and cell death execution. The immune response is initiated by the recognition of exogeneous or endogenous signals, triggering the signalosome assembly process. The final step of signalosome fate often involves membrane-targeting and activation of pore-forming execution domains, leading to membrane disruption and ultimately cell death.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFHepatitis D virus (HDV) is a defective virus that relies on hepatitis B virus envelope proteins to complete its replication cycle. The HDV genome contains two isoforms of hepatitis delta antigen: the small and the large hepatitis delta antigens (S- and L-HDAg). Here we report the H, C and N backbone and side chain resonance assignments of an N-terminally truncated form of S-HDAg (S), which lacks the 1-60 oligomerization domain.
