Catalytic peptide-based coacervates for enhanced function through structural organization and substrate specificity by David Q. P. Reis, Sara Pereira, Ana P. Ramos, Pedro M. Pereira, Leonor Morgado, Joana Calvário, Adriano O. Henriques, Mónica Serrano, Ana S. Pina

“…Here, we demonstrate the use of coacervation, a key LLPS feature, to constrain the conformational flexibility of catalytic peptides, resulting in structured domains that enhance peptide catalysis. Using the flexible catalytic peptide P7 as a model, we induce reversible biomolecular coacervates with structured peptide domains proficient in hydrolyzing phosphate ester molecules and selectively sequestering phosphorylated proteins. …”

Structural insights into Type II-D Cas9 and its robust cleavage activity by Kangkang Wang, Jiuyu Wang, Xiaoqi Yang, Wei Sun, Gang Sheng, Yanli Wang

“…NsCas9d recognizes the 5′-NRG-3′ protospacer adjacent motif (PAM), with 5′-NGG-3′ showing the highest cleavage efficiency. Its sgRNA structure, resembling the 5′ end of IscB ωRNA, along with structural features shared with other Cas9 variants, suggests that Cas9d are hypothesized to resemble evolutionary intermediates between other Cas9 sub-types and IscB. …”
