    • Crystal Structure of the Yeast Inner Kinetochore Subunit cep3p 

      Bellizzi, John J. III; Sorger, Peter; Harrison, Stephen (Elsevier, 2007)
      In budding yeast, the four-protein CBF3 complex (Skp1p-Ctf13p-Cep3p-Ndc10p) initiates kinetochore assembly by binding to the CDEIII locus of centromeric DNA. A Cep3p dimer recruits a Ctf13p-Skp1p heterodimer and contacts ...

      Rotavirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, VP1, catalyzes RNA synthesis within a subviral particle. This activity depends on core shell protein VP2. A conserved sequence at the 3′ end of plusstrand RNA templates is important ...

    • Mechanisms of Membrane Disruption by Viral Entry Proteins 

      Kim, Irene (2013-02-15)
      To enter and infect cells, viruses must overcome the barrier presented by the cell membrane. Enveloped viruses, which possess their own lipid bilayer, fuse their viral membrane with the cell membrane. Non-enveloped viruses, ...

    • A Molecular Basis for the Coupling of Sister Centromeres 

      Hinshaw, Stephen M. (2016-08-18)
      Chromosome segregation during mitosis requires that two forces act on DNA: one that pulls chromatids away from each other and towards presumptive daughter cells, and another that holds chromatids together and resists the ...

    • Peptide Inhibitors of Dengue-Virus Entry Target a Late-Stage Fusion Intermediate 

      Schmidt, Aaron Gregory; Yang, Priscilla; Harrison, Stephen C. (Public Library of Science, 2010)
      The mechanism of membrane fusion by “class II” viral fusion proteins follows a pathway that involves large-scale domain rearrangements of the envelope glycoprotein (E) and a transition from dimers to trimers. The rearrangement ...
