Structural basis of insecticide binding to the ryanodine receptor from the Van Petegem Lab
In a new paper from the Van Petegem lab, researchers show how the widely used diamide class of insecticides bind to an ion channel called the ryanodine receptor, and how the insecticide triggers opening of this ion channel. The study shows how several insects have developed resistance by evolving mutations directly within the binding site. […]
Structure EspA filament of enteropathogenic E.Coli from the Strynadka Lab
In a new paper from the Strynadka lab, researchers show the structure of the EspA filament from enteropathogenic E.Coli. Enteropathogenic E.Coli used the a multi-protein assembly called the Type III Secretion System to deliver proteins to host cells. The EspA filament is an extension to the Type III secretion system required for bacterial colonization of […]
