Regulatory sites in the Mon1-Ccz1 complex control Rab5 to Rab7 transition and endosome maturation

Ann-Christin Borchers, Maren Janz, Jan-Hannes Schäfer, Arne Moeller, Daniel Kümmel, Achim Paululat, Christian Ungermann, Lars Langemeyer Maturation from early to late endosomes depends on the exchange of their marker proteins Rab5 to Rab7. This requires Rab7 activation by its specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) Mon1- Ccz1. Efficient GEF activity of this complex on membranes …

Conformational variability of cyanobacterial ChlI, the AAA+ motor of magnesium chelatase involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis

Dmitry Shvarev, Alischa Ira Scholz, Arne Moeller Magnesium chelatase is a conserved enzyme complex responsible for the first committed step of chlorophyll biosynthesis in photosynthetic organisms, which is the addition of magnesium to the chlorophyll precursor, protoporphyrin IX. The complex is composed of the catalytic subunit ChlH, the bridging subunit ChlD, and the subunit ChlI, …

Structure of the ceramide-bound SPOTS complex

Jan-Hannes Schäfer, Carolin Körner, Bianca M. Esch, Sergej Limar, Kristian Parey, Stefan Walter, Dovile Januliene#, Arne Moeller#, Florian Fröhlich# Sphingolipids are structural membrane components that also function in cellular stress responses. The serine palmitoyl-transferase (SPT) catalyzes the rate limiting step in sphingolipid biogenesis. Its activity is tightly regulated through multiple binding partners, including Tsc3, Orm …

Mechanism of multimodal substrate translocation in P-glycoprotein

Theresa Gewering, Deepali Waghray, Kristian Parey, Joel Zapata, Pengyi Zhao, Hao Chen, Dovile Januliene, Ina L. Urbatsch, Arne Moeller, Qinghai Zhang P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is a highly dynamic ATP-binding cassette transporter that confers cancer multidrug resistance and mediates the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of many drugs. Structural and biochemical data have provided insights into the binding of …
