A huge Thank You to all the collaborators who contributed to this fun project: Udi Qimron, @haitinlab.bsky.social, @bursteinlab.bsky.social, and congrats to the first author
@tridibmahata.bsky.social !

An open question remains - where will this be published? 😏

Great collaboration (as always)! And very funny story how HDX and native MS complement each other and reveal details about ions, substrates and mutations. We enjoyed this ride!
Excited to share our new paper in @febsj.bsky.social! 🎉
We show how a #MYELOMA-linked GGPPS mutation tweaks hexamerization, substrate binding and product inhibition, revealing an unexpected layer of protein prenylation regulation

How does a cytoplasmic enzyme make a membrane product? 🤔🧬

We found that a hydrophobic residue cluster helps the human cis-prenyltransferase feed its product into the ER membrane!

MD simulations + fluorescence = mechanistic insight 👇

Whenever we get a bioRxiv alert, we'are always curious to see what it brings. This time, the timing couldn’t have been better - a very pleasant surprise! 😄

Structural mechanisms of allosteric regulation in the human cis-prenyltransferase complex
Human cis-prenyltransferase (hcis-PT) synthesizes long-chain isoprenoids essential for N-linked protein glycosylation. This heteromeric complex comprises the catalytic subunit DHDDS and the regulatory...

Long overlooked but significant!
This is the post-Cys specificity in post-proline cleaving enzymes like AnPEP or neprosin. Good work Zuza
and the team!🎉🔥
