We report the structures of LonC from Meiothermus taiwanensis (MtaLonC), a unique member in the Lon protein family with a dual chaperone-protease function but lacking ATPase activity, determined by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM).

The human gut is home to trillions of microorganisms, and recent research continues to reveal that their capabilities far exceed what was previously known.

How green turtles recover from injuries in the wild and whether they can recover has long been a mystery in the field of conservation.

Cephalochordates (amphioxus or lancelet) are considered as living proxies for ancestral chordates due to their key phylogenetic position and slow evolutionary rate.

This study clarifies the molecular basis of a trait that has long been utilized in horticultural production but lacked mechanistic explanation.

Our findings reveal an essential oncogenic role of BMAL2 and demonstrate that it is an appealing therapeutic target, especially for ARID1A-wt OCCC.
