Jak nasze enzymy chronią się same
09.02.2023
Protein S-persulfidation (P-SSH) is recognized as a common posttranslational modification. It occurs under basal conditions and is often observed to be elevated under stress conditions. However, the mechanism(s) by which proteins are persulfidated inside cells have remained unclear.

Understanding photosynthesis at atomic resolution
18.01.2023
Scientists from the Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology (FBBB) and the Małopolska Centre of Biotechology (MCB) of the Jagiellonian University Krakow teamed up to understand photosynthesis in plants at the atomic level. In detail, the Department of Molecular Biophysics and the Max Planck Research Group determined high-resolution cryo-EM structures of cytochrome b6f, one of the key membrane protein complex in photosynthesis. This complex transfers electrons between plastoquinol and plastocyanin to link functionally plant photosystems, thereby securing electron flow and efficiency of photosynthesis.

Ground-breaking studies into the structure of the Elongator complex
13.01.2023
Wobble uridine carboxymethylation at the tRNAs anticodon is essential for correct protein synthesis. In archaea and bacteria the modification reaction is catalyzed by the Elp3 enzyme, while in eukaryotes the enzyme is a part of the large multi-subunit Elongator complex. The latest work of scientists from the Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology (MCB/UJ) describes the first high resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of Elongator, which sheds light on the role of the Elp456 subcomplex
