The nature of the phycobilisome–photosystem II supercomplex on the native thylakoid determined with cryo-electron tomography at an unprecedented resolution reveals that one phycobilisome interconnects with six photosystem monomers.

The necessity of studying extremophile organisms is exemplified by the structure of photosystem I from a high-light tolerant cyanobacteria, demonstrating the relationship between the structure and function in photosystem I.

NmMetQ is a lipoprotein that tethers to membranes via a lipid anchor and has dual function and localization, playing a role in NmMetNI-mediated transport at the inner membrane and moonlighting on the bacterial surface.

SARS-CoV-2 entry mechanism through membrane fusion is regulated by the spike protein glycosylation state.

EphA2 receptor clustering enhances signaling transductions by increasing receptor phosphorylation and binding dwell time of downstream molecules in living cells.

Cryo-EM structure of human TMEM120A reveals that it is a coenzyme A-binding protein and is unlikely to function as a mechanosensitive channel as was recently proposed.

Electrophysiological and structural data do not support a mechanosensitive channel function for TACAN.

The McsB kinase is critical for protein quality control in Gram-positive bacteria, assembling a gated phosphorylation chamber during heat-shock conditions to selectively mark misfolded proteins for degradation.

Keratins assemble into tubular filaments with a central density and exhibit structural heterogeneity, which is reflected in alterations of the helical arrangement.

The dynamic structure of respiratory complex I from mesophilic bacterium is revealed and demonstrates existence of uncoupled conformations in the bacterial complex.
