    Mechanism for nuclease regulation in RecBCD

    Martin Wilkinson, Yuriy Chaban, Dale B Wigley
    DNA unwinding triggers a conformational change in the RecD subunit of E. coli RecBCD helicase-nuclease that is transferred through the RecC subunit to activate the nuclease domain of the RecB subunit.

    Live imaging reveals the progenitors and cell dynamics of limb regeneration

    Frederike Alwes, Camille Enjolras, Michalis Averof
    Long-term live imaging reveals the dynamic cell behaviors and progenitor cells that underpin the regeneration of adult limbs in the crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis.

    The genome of the crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis, a model for animal development, regeneration, immunity and lignocellulose digestion

    Damian Kao, Alvina G Lai ... Aziz Aboobaker
    The first malacostracan genome sequence will establish the genetically tractable Parhyale hawaiensis as a model organism in this key animal group.

    Functional asymmetry and electron flow in the bovine respirasome

    Joana S Sousa, Deryck J Mills ... Werner Kühlbrandt
    Cryo-EM structure of the mammalian respiratory supercomplex containing complexes I, III and IV shows a functional asymmetry of complex III, providing strong evidence for directed electron flow in the respirasome.

    Structural basis for the inhibition of RecBCD by Gam and its synergistic antibacterial effect with quinolones

    Martin Wilkinson, Luca A Troman ... Dale B Wigley
    Building on previous work (Wilkinson et al, 2016), it is shown that inhibition of RecBCD-induced DNA break repair can be used as a co-antibacterial strategy with quinolones.

    An allosteric transport mechanism for the AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux pump

    Zhao Wang, Guizhen Fan ... Dijun Du
    The tripartite drug efflux pump AcrA-AcrB-TolC, representative of a wide group of pumps from Gram-negative bacteria, enters a transport-competent state through long-distance conformational changes that switch the channel from a closed to an open state.

    CryoEM structures of membrane pore and prepore complex reveal cytolytic mechanism of Pneumolysin

    Katharina van Pee, Alexander Neuhaus ... Özkan Yildiz
    The near-atomic cryoEM pore complex structure of pneumolysin, the main virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae, shows how the individual domains rearrange during the pore formation.

    C. elegans avoids toxin-producing Streptomyces using a seven transmembrane domain chemosensory receptor

    Alan Tran, Angelina Tang ... Miri K VanHoven
    Caenorhabditis elegans require a GPCR to recognize and rapidly escape from toxin-producing Streptomyces at their head or tail.

    Model-based local density sharpening of cryo-EM maps

    Arjen J Jakobi, Matthias Wilmanns, Carsten Sachse
    Local sharpening of cryo-electron microscopy maps using atomic models can increase the interpretability of densities in cases of resolution variation and facilitates model building and refinement.
