Synthesis of ?-glucan in mycobacteria involves a hetero-octameric complex of trehalose synthase TreS and Maltokinase Pep2 (2013)
Journal Article
Roy, R., Usha, V., Kermani, A., Scott, D. J., Hyde, E. I., Besra, G. S., …Fütterer, K. (2013). Synthesis of α-glucan in mycobacteria involves a hetero-octameric complex of trehalose synthase TreS and Maltokinase Pep2. ACS Chemical Biology, 8(10), https://doi.org/10.1021/cb400508k

Recent evidence established that the cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus causing tuberculosis (TB), is coated by an ?-glucan-containing capsule that has been implicated in persistence in a mouse infection model. As one of three... Read More about Synthesis of ?-glucan in mycobacteria involves a hetero-octameric complex of trehalose synthase TreS and Maltokinase Pep2.

Crystal structure of signal regulatory protein gamma (SIRP?) in complex with an antibody Fab fragment (2013)
Journal Article
Nettleship, J. E., Ren, J., Scott, D. J., Rahman, N., Hatherley, D., Zhao, Y., …Owens, R. J. (2013). Crystal structure of signal regulatory protein gamma (SIRPγ) in complex with an antibody Fab fragment. BMC Structural Biology, 13, Article 13. https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6807-13-13

BACKGROUND Signal Regulatory Protein γ (SIRPγ) is a member of a closely related family of three cell surface receptors implicated in modulating immune/inflammatory responses. SIRPγ is expressed on T lymphocytes where it appears to be involved in t... Read More about Crystal structure of signal regulatory protein gamma (SIRP?) in complex with an antibody Fab fragment.

The lipidome and proteome of oil bodies from Helianthus annuus (common sunflower) (2013)
Journal Article
Furse, S., Liddell, S., Ortori, C. A., Williams, H., Neylon, D. C., Scott, D. J., …Gray, D. A. (2013). The lipidome and proteome of oil bodies from Helianthus annuus (common sunflower). Journal of Chemical Biology, 6(2), 63-76. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12154-012-0090-1

In this paper we report the molecular profiling, lipidome and proteome, of the plant organelle known as an oil body (OB). The OB is remarkable in that it is able to perform its biological role (storage of triglycerides) whilst resisting the physical...
