Structure of the Type VI Secretion System Contractile Sheath

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Bacteria use rapid contraction of a long sheath of the type VI secretion system (T6SS) to deliver effectors into a target cell. Here, we present an atomic-resolution structure of a native contracted Vibrio cholerae sheath determined by cryo-electron micros ...

Bicc1 Polymerization Regulates the Localization and Silencing of Bound mRNA

Daniel Constam, Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé, Lucía Carolina Leal Esteban, Séverine Marguerite Urfer, Florian Urs Bernet

Loss of the RNA-binding protein Bicaudal-C (Bicc1) provokes renal and pancreatic cysts as well as ectopic Wnt/beta-catenin signaling during visceral left-right patterning. Renal cysts are linked to defective silencing of Bicc1 target mRNAs, including adeny ...
