Palmitoylated acyl protein thioesterase APT2 deforms membranes to extract substrate acyl chains

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Matteo Dal Peraro, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Florence Pojer, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez, Sylvia Ho, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita, Muhammad Umair Anwar, Patrick Alain Sandoz, Martina Audagnotto

Acyl protein thioesterase APT2 interacts with membranes via its charged beta-tongue, becomes palmitoylated by ZDHHC3/7 and deforms the bilayer to extract substrate acyl chains. APT2 deacylation leads to its membrane release and degradation. ...

CLoNe: automated clustering based on local density neighborhoods for application to biomolecular structural ensembles

Matteo Dal Peraro, Giorgio Elikem Tamo, Deniz Aydin, Martina Audagnotto, Giulia Fonti, Sylvain Träger

Motivation: Proteins are intrinsically dynamic entities. Flexibility sampling methods, such as molecular dynamics or those arising from integrative modeling strategies, are now commonplace and enable the study of molecular conformational landscapes in many ...

KAP1 is an antiparallel dimer with a functional asymmetry

Didier Trono, Matteo Dal Peraro, Beat Fierz, Davide Demurtas, Louise Catherine Bryan, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez, Giulia Fonti, Pierre-Yves Joseph Laurent Helleboid, Alexandra Styliani Kalantzi

KAP1 (KRAB domain-associated protein 1) plays a fundamental role in regulating gene expression in mammalian cells by recruiting different transcription factors and altering the chromatin state. In doing so, KAP1 acts both as a platform for macromolecular i ...

A rheostat mechanism governs the bifurcation of carbon flux in mycobacteria

Matteo Dal Peraro, John McKinney, Florence Pojer, Giulia Fonti, Paul Murima, Tarun Chopra

Fatty acid metabolism is an important feature of the pathogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis during infection. Consumption of fatty acids requires regulation of carbon flux bifurcation between the oxidative TCA cycle and the glyoxylate shunt. In Escher ...
