Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry captures distinct dynamics upon substrate and inhibitor binding to a transporter

[Nature Communications] Proton-coupled transporters use transmembrane proton gradients to power active transport of nutrients inside the cell. High-resolution structures often fail to capture the coupling between proton and ligand binding, and …

Integrative mass spectrometry-based approaches for modelling macromolecular assemblies

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based strategies have emerged as key elements for structural modelling of proteins and their assemblies.

Structural basis of Cullin 2 RING E3 ligase regulation by the COP9 signalosome

Here we present structures of the neddylated and deneddylated CSN-CRL2 complexes by combining single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) with chemical cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS).

Analyzing Protein Architectures and Protein-Ligand Complexes by Integrative Structural Mass Spectrometry

Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as an important tool for the investigation of structure and dynamics of macromolecular assemblies. Here, we integrate MS-based approaches to interrogate protein complex formation and ligand binding.

Direct protein-lipid interactions shape the conformational landscape of secondary transporters

Here, we combine hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to understand how lipids regulate the conformational dynamics of secondary transporters at the molecular level.

Structural Lipids Enable the Formation of Functional Oligomers of the Eukaryotic Purine Symporter UapA

We investigated the effect of membrane lipids in the structure and transport activity of the purine transporter UapA from Aspergillus nidulans.

Mechanistic Insight into the Assembly of the HerA-NurA Helicase-Nuclease DNA End Resection Complex using Native Mass Spectrometry

By combining hybrid mass spectrometry with cryo-EM, computational and biochemical data, we investigate the oligomeric formation of HerA and detail the mechanism of nucleotide binding to the HerA–NurA complex from thermophilic archaea.
