Allert M, Kumar S, Wang Y, Beese L, Hellinga H
J Mol Biol
. 2024 Sep;
436(22):168780.
PMID: 39241982
ABC transporters are ancient and ubiquitous nutrient transport systems in bacteria and play a central role in defining lifestyles. Periplasmic solute-binding proteins (SBPs) are components that deliver ligands to their...

PMID: 38791363
Protein farnesylation is a post-translational modification where a 15-carbon farnesyl isoprenoid is appended to the C-terminal end of a protein by farnesyltransferase (FTase). This process often causes proteins to associate...

Allert M, Kumar S, Wang Y, Beese L, Hellinga H
Commun Chem
. 2023 Aug;
6(1):168.
PMID: 37598249
Fluorescent labeling of proteins is a powerful tool for probing structure-function relationships with many biosensing applications. Structure-based rules for systematically designing fluorescent biosensors require understanding ligand-mediated fluorescent response mechanisms which...

Nucleic Acids Res
. 2023 May;
51(11):5883-5894.
PMID: 37166959
DNA polymerases are essential for nucleic acid synthesis, cloning, sequencing and molecular diagnostics technologies. Conditional intein splicing is a powerful tool for controlling enzyme reactions. We have engineered a thermal...

Wang Y, Xu F, Nichols C, Shi Y, Hellinga H, Alspaugh J, et al.
J Med Chem
. 2022 Oct;
65(20):13753-13770.
PMID: 36218371
Infections by fungal pathogens are difficult to treat due to a paucity of antifungals and emerging resistances. Next-generation antifungals therefore are needed urgently. We have developed compounds that prevent farnesylation...

Cell Rep
. 2017 Nov;
21(5):1375-1385.
PMID: 29091773
DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) that are repaired in non-dividing cells must be recognized independently of replication-associated DNA unwinding. Using cell-free extracts from Xenopus eggs that support neither replication nor transcription,...

PMID: 28533382
Human exonuclease 1 (hExo1) is a member of the RAD2/XPG structure-specific 5'-nuclease superfamily. Its dominant, processive 5'-3' exonuclease and secondary 5'-flap endonuclease activities participate in various DNA repair, recombination, and...

Structure
. 2015 Jul;
23(9):1609-1620.
PMID: 26211612
DNA polymerases must quickly and accurately distinguish between similar nucleic acids to form Watson-Crick base pairs and avoid DNA replication errors. Deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) binding to the DNA polymerase active...

PMID: 24841702
Protein farnesytransferase (PFTase) catalyzes the farnesylation of proteins with a carboxy-terminal tetrapeptide sequence denoted as a Ca1a2X box. To explore the specificity of this enzyme, an important therapeutic target, solid-phase...

Protein Sci
. 2013 Dec;
23(3):289-301.
PMID: 24347326
Species of the fungal genus Aspergillus are significant human and agricultural pathogens that are often refractory to existing antifungal treatments. Protein farnesyltransferase (FTase), a critical enzyme in eukaryotes, is an...
