Cu(ii)-based DNA labeling identifies the structural link between transcriptional activation and termination in a metalloregulator

Joshua Casto et al.

Summary: Understanding the structural and mechanistic details of protein-DNA interactions can lead to new ways of combating the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. The study on the Copper Efflux Regulator (CueR) protein reveals that it can bend DNA at high protein concentrations, and this bending enables the coordination with RNA polymerase.

CueR activates transcription through a DNA distortion mechanism

Chengli Fang et al.

Summary: MerR family transcription factors are able to reshape promoter DNA through clamp-like protein-DNA interactions, promoting productive promoter-polymerase association without canonical protein-protein contacts seen in other activator proteins. These structural and biochemical findings strongly support the DNA distortion paradigm for allosteric transcriptional control by MerR TFs.

Evolution of CPEB4 Dynamics Across its Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation Transition

Manas Seal et al.

Summary: The dynamic properties of the low complexity N-terminal domain of CPEB4 protein during LLPS transition were investigated using spin labeling and EPR spectroscopy, revealing the existence of three distinct spin labeled CPEB4 populations. As temperature increased, the abundance of component II increased reversibly at the expense of component III.

Benchmark Test and Guidelines for DEER/PELDOR Experiments on Nitroxide-Labeled Biomolecules

Olav Schiemann et al.

Summary: Distance distribution information obtained by pulsed dipolar EPR spectroscopy plays a crucial role in structural biology research, providing unique constraints for integrative structural modeling. Quality standards for sample preparation, measurements, data conversion, interpretation, and reporting have been defined to ensure the reliability of structural models and biological conclusions, with support from a multi-laboratory benchmark study and analysis of data sets with known distance distribution ground truth. The guidelines mainly focus on proteins labeled with nitroxides and double electron-electron resonance measurements, while also offering suggestions for similar cases.

Summary: The MerR family of transcriptional regulators, such as EcmrR, activate promoters with a suboptimal structure for recognition by RNA polymerase holoenzyme. Structural insights into the EcmrR-dependent transcription process elucidate the mechanisms enabling optimal promoter recognition and transition from initiation to elongation.

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of the Apo and Holo States of the Copper Binding Protein CueR Reveal Principal Bending and Twisting Motions

Renana Schwartz et al.

Summary: Copper is essential for cell functioning but can be dangerous in high concentrations. CueR protein in bacterial systems plays a role in copper homeostasis regulation, inducing transcription of related proteins upon copper binding. Molecular dynamics simulations show that copper binding may lead to large-scale helical bending motions in CueR, potentially affecting DNA bending and transcription activation.
