Activity-based proteomics reveals nine target proteases for the recombinant protein-stabilizing inhibitor SlCYS8 in Nicotiana benthamiana by Jutras, P, Grosse-Holz, F, Kaschani, F, Kaiser, M, Michaud, D, Van Der Hoorn, R

“…SlCYS8 expression prevented protein degradation by inhibiting intermediate and mature isoforms of granulin-containing proteases from the Resistant-to-Desiccation-21 (RD21) PLCP subfamily. Our data underline the key role of endogenous PLCPs on recombinant protein degradation and reveal candidate proteases for depletion strategies.…”

Tracking in atomic detail the functional specializations in viral RecA helicases that occur during evolution. by El Omari, K, Meier, C, Kainov, D, Sutton, G, Grimes, J, Poranen, M, Bamford, D, Tuma, R, Stuart, D, Mancini, E

“…High-resolution crystal structures of the set of P4s allow a structure-based phylogenetic analysis, which reveals that these proteins form a distinct subfamily of the RecA-type ATPases. Although the proteins share a common catalytic core, they have different specificities and control mechanisms, which we map onto divergent N- and C-terminal domains. …”

Structure of the SOCS4-ElonginB/C complex reveals a distinct SOCS box interface and the molecular basis for SOCS-dependent EGFR degradation. by Bullock, A, Rodriguez, M, Debreczeni, J, Songyang, Z, Knapp, S

“…The N-terminal ESS helix functionally replaces the CIS/SOCS1-SOCS3 family C terminus in a distinct SH2-SOCS box interface that facilitates further interdomain packing between the extended N- and C-terminal regions characteristic for this subfamily. Using peptide arrays and calorimetry the STAT3 site in EGFR (pY(1092)) was identified as a high affinity SOCS4 substrate (K(D) = 0.5 microM) revealing a mechanism for EGFR degradation. …”
