Friend or foe: the same fold for attack and defense.

Abstract:

:Two recent crystal structures of membrane attack complex/perforin (MACPF) domains found in the complement and perforin families unexpectedly reveal that some proteins of the immune system share a common core fold with their bacterial targets. Although a relationship between MACPF proteins and the previously characterized bacterial cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) is not detectable by sequence analysis, the MACPF structures show that eukaryotic defense and bacterial CDC attack share a common mechanism of membrane insertion and pore formation.

  • How SAMHD1 changes our view of viral restriction.

    abstract::Recent studies have uncovered sterile alpha motif and HD domain 1 (SAMHD1) as the restriction factor that blocks HIV-1 replication in myeloid cells. In contrast to previously identified HIV-1 restriction factors, SAMHD1 does not meet a countermeasure developed by HIV-1. However, HIV-2 and certain simian immunodeficien...
