The carbon-phosphorus (C-P) lyase complex is essential for the metabolism of unactivated phosphonates to phosphate in bacteria. Using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, we determined two structures of the C-P lyase core complex PhnG2H2I2J2, with or without PhnK. PhnG2H2I2J2 is a two-fold symmetric hetero-octamer. Its two PhnJ subunits provide two identical binding sites for PhnK. Only one PhnK...
The ribosomal silencing factor RsfS slows cell growth by inhibiting protein synthesis during periods of diminished nutrient availability. The crystal structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) RsfS, together with the cryo-electron microscopy (EM) structure of the large subunit 50S of Mtb ribosome, reveals how inhibition of protein synthesis by RsfS occurs. RsfS binds to the 50S at L14, which, when...
Hemocyanins are responsible for transporting O 2 in the arthropod and molluscan hemolymph. Haliotis diversicolor molluscan hemocyanin isoform 1 (HdH1) is an 8 MDa oligomer. Each subunit is made up of eight functional units (FUs). Each FU contains two Cu ions, which can reversibly bind an oxygen molecule. Here, we report a 4.5 Å cryo-EM structure of HdH1. The structure clearly shows ten asymmetric units...
Chaperonins are large ATP-driven molecular machines that mediate cellular protein folding. Group II chaperonins use their “built-in lid” to close their central folding chamber. Here we report the structure of an archaeal group II chaperonin in its prehydrolysis ATP-bound state at subnanometer resolution using single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Structural comparison of Mm-cpn in ATP-free,...
