Screening of cryo-EM samples is essential for the generation of high-resolution cryo-EM structures. Often, it is cumbersome to correlate the appearance of specific grid squares and micrograph quality. Here, CryoCrane (Correlate atlas and exposures), a visualization tool for cryo-EM screening data, is presented. It aims to provide an intuitive way to visualize micrographs and to speed up data analysis.

Potential of Type II NADH-Dehydrogenase in Antitubercular Drug Discovery.
ACS Infect Dis

The type II NADH-dehydrogenase enzyme in plays a critical role in the efficient functioning of the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. It acts as the entry point for electrons in the electron transport chain, which is essential for fulfilling the energy requirements of both replicating and nonreplicating mycobacterial species. Due to the absence of the type II NADH-dehydrogenase enzyme in mammalian mitochondria, targeting the type II NADH-dehydrogenase enzyme for antitubercular drug discovery could be a vigilant approach.

Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against SARS-CoV-2 become obsolete as spike substitutions reduce antibody binding. To induce antibodies against conserved receptor-binding domain (RBD) regions for protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and zoonotic sarbecoviruses, we developed mosaic-8b RBD-nanoparticles presenting eight sarbecovirus RBDs arranged randomly on a 60-mer nanoparticle. Mosaic-8b immunizations protected animals from challenges from viruses whose RBDs were matched or mismatched to those on nanoparticles.

E6AP/UBE3A is the founding member of the HECT (Homologous to the E6-AP Carboxyl Terminus) ubiquitin E3 ligase family, which add ubiquitin post-translationally to protein substrates. E6AP has been structurally defined in complex with human papillomavirus (HPV) oncoprotein E6 and its gain-of-function substrate tumor suppressor p53; however, there is currently no report of E6AP being expressed and purified from mammalian cells, as studies to date have isolated E6AP from E. coli or insect cells.

Growing evidence suggests that ribosomes selectively regulate translation of specific mRNA subsets. Here, quantitative proteomics and cryoelectron microscopy demonstrate that poxvirus infection does not alter ribosomal subunit protein (RP) composition but skews 40S rotation states and displaces the 40S head domain. Genetic knockout screens employing metabolic assays and a dual-reporter virus further identified two RPs that selectively regulate non-canonical translation of late poxvirus mRNAs, which contain unusual 5' poly(A) leaders: receptor of activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) and RPLP2.
