Structural Modifications Reveal Dual Functions of the C-4 Carbonyl Group in the Fatty Acid Chain of Ipomoeassin F by Arman Khosravi, Precious Nnamdi, Alexa May, Kelsey Slattery, Robert E. Sammelson, Wei Q. Shi

“…Recently, detailed structural information on how Ipom-F binds to Sec61α was obtained using Cryo-EM, which discovered that polar interactions between asparagine-300 (N300) in Sec61α and four oxygens in Ipom-F are crucial. One of the four oxygens is from the carbonyl group at C-4 of the fatty acid chain. …”
