Cryo-EM structures reveal the unexpected ability of shelterin to modulate telomeric nucleosomes
Kelly Nguyen’s group, in the LMB’s Structural Studies Division, have solved the cryo-EM structures of a telomeric nucleosome both bound and unbound to shelterin component TRF1, providing novel insights into the molecular interactions between shelterin and nucleosomes.
Chevron shape of TDP-43 in FTLD points to distinct arrangements of TDP-43 as distinguishing feature between neurodegenerative diseases
As previously seen in tau and α-synuclein, Benjamin Ryskeldi-Falcon’s group have determined that TDP-43 forms distinct amyloid arrangements in different neurodegenerative diseases. They describe the structure of filaments of TDP-43 in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) as a chevron shape, markedly different from the double spiral shape they previously identified from brains of those with a form […]
