Just published in PNAS. A great collaboration between the @GalburtLab and @Lohman_Lab led by graduate student Ankita Chadda

Jeff Bezos has forced The Washington Post - the newspaper he owns - to not endorse in a presidential race for the first time 36 years because he’s worried Donald Trump will take away his government contracts.
RETWEET if you think @JeffBezos is a disgrace to democracy!

Conformational change in transitioning from the inactive UvrD1 monomer-DNA structure to the leading subunit of the activated UvrD1 dimer-DNA structure. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…
Happy to share our collaborative work with Eric Galburt's lab led by Dr. Ankita Chadda and Dr. Binh Nguyen describing the first structures of dimeric superfamily 1A UvrD-family helicases from M. tuberculosis bound to a DNA junction.
biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…
These structures show a massive conformational change compared to monomeric UvrD-DNA junction structures. Dimerization occurs via the 2B domains of each subunit which activates the helicase by preventing the inhibitory 2B domain-DNA interactions in the monomer-DNA structure.
Hetero-dimerization of a wild type and mutant superfamily 1 DNA translocase, neither of which possess DNA helicase activity, results in an active DNA helicase by relieving the auto-inhibition within the monomeric enzyme.

Hopefully this link will work.

#NASmember E. Peter Geiduschek was a pioneer of DNA structure and gene expression, and to those who knew him, a "model of rigor and scientific precision as well as of generosity, kindness, and collegiality." Read more in a new memoir: ow.ly/qeRX50QHPAH #MemoirMonday
