- Description
Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) remains a leading cause of respiratory and invasive diseases despite the availability of vaccines. These vaccines target a polysaccharide capsule the bacterium uses to evade the immune system. Variation of the capsule composition subdivides the organism into serotypes and influences its protective potency. It is commonly assumed that S. pneumoniae strains of...

- Description
Beta-arrestins (βarrs) are key transducers of G-protein coupled receptors, but the mechanisms of βarr signaling are poorly understood. Therefore, this study examined the structural mechanisms underlying βarr-mediated signal transduction. Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), the study examined how βarr1 recruits and activates the non-receptor tyrosine kinase Src, a well-established signaling partner...
