Structural insights into Cir-mediated killing by the antimicrobial protein Microcin V

The cryo-EM structure of the receptor binding domain of Microcin V in complex with its bacterial receptor, Cir, demonstrates a conserved bacteriocin/receptor interaction and illuminates a potential path for future drug development.

Mapping cation-eutaxy ternary with a phenomenological model

A phenomenological model using electronegativity, ionic size, and charge predicts layered cation-eutaxy structures in ternary compounds. Experimental validation supports the model’s reliability and highlights its potential for guiding future materials discovery.

Product analogue binding identifies the copper active site of particulate methane monooxygenase

Different locations have been proposed for the catalytic centre of particulate methane monooxygenase for methane oxidation to methanol. Now, cryoelectron microscopy structures and electron nuclear double resonance spectroscopic measurements of the enzyme with a product analogue identify Cu_D as the active site and provide insights into substrate binding.

Thalamic feedback shapes brain responses evoked by cortical stimulation in mice and humans

Neural mechanisms underlying thalamic contributions to evoked potentials by brain stimulation, which has been widely used for therapeutic interventions, are not fully understood. In this translational study the authors show that the thalamus plays a critical role in shaping its neural responses across species and across stimulation modalities.

Tuning of Ranvier node and internode properties in myelinated axons to adjust action potential timing

Action potential timing is fundamental to information processing, but its determinants are not fully understood. Here the authors demonstrate unexpected structural specializations of myelinated axons in the auditory brainstem that help to adjust action potential arrival time for sound localization.
