Multi-Field CEST NMR Reconstructs a Protein Folding Landscape

Abstract Protein dynamics are central to their folding and function, yet the sparsely populated conformational states that underpin these processes remain difficult to characterize at atomic resolution. Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) NMR can detect such states and i...

A conserved tyrosine motif encodes a structural vulnerability controlling stability and activity across J-domain proteins

J-domain proteins (JDPs) direct Hsp70 functions through a conserved J-domain that engages and activates Hsp70. JDPs support proteostasis and are linked to development and disease, yet how they are regulated remains unclear. Here, we identify a conserved tyrosine motif outside the...
