Structure, sequon recognition and mechanism of tryptophan C-mannosyltransferase

Structure, sequon recognition and mechanism of tryptophan C-mannosyltransferase

Our paper Structure, sequon recognition and mechanism of tryptophan C-mannosyltransferase is published in Nature Chemical Biology! Abstract: C-linked glycosylation is essential for the trafficking, folding and function of secretory and transmembrane proteins involved in cellular communication processes. The tryptophan C-mannosyltransferase (CMT) enzymes that install the modification attach a mannose to

An intrinsically disordered antimicrobial peptide dendrimer from stereorandomized virtual screening

An intrinsically disordered antimicrobial peptide dendrimer from stereorandomized virtual screening

Our paper An intrinsically disordered antimicrobial peptide dendrimer from stereorandomized virtual screening is published in Cell Reports Physical Science! Highlights: • Stereorandomized antimicrobial peptide dendrimers are identified by virtual screening • A switch to L residues induces α-helical folding and strong toxicity in one sr-AMPD • Another AMPD remains intrinsically disordered, active, and
