Repair of DNA double-strand breaks by the nonhomologous end joining pathway

BM Stinson, JJ Loparo - Annual review of biochemistry, 2021 - annualreviews.org
DNA double-strand breaks pose a serious threat to genome stability. In vertebrates, these
breaks are predominantly repaired by nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), which pairs DNA …

[HTML][HTML] Stochastic but highly coordinated protein unfolding and translocation by the ClpXP proteolytic machine

JC Cordova, AO Olivares, Y Shin, BM Stinson… - Cell, 2014 - cell.com
ClpXP and other AAA+ proteases recognize, mechanically unfold, and translocate target
proteins into a chamber for proteolysis. It is not known whether these remarkable molecular …

Structures of the ATP-fueled ClpXP proteolytic machine bound to protein substrate

X Fei, TA Bell, S Jenni, BM Stinson, TA Baker… - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
ClpXP is an ATP-dependent protease in which the ClpX AAA+ motor binds, unfolds, and
translocates specific protein substrates into the degradation chamber of ClpP. We present cryo-…

[HTML][HTML] Nucleotide binding and conformational switching in the hexameric ring of a AAA+ machine

BM Stinson, AR Nager, SE Glynn, KR Schmitz… - Cell, 2013 - cell.com
ClpX, a AAA+ ring homohexamer, uses the energy of ATP binding and hydrolysis to power
conformational changes that unfold and translocate target proteins into the ClpP peptidase for …

[HTML][HTML] Temperature-dependent phase behavior and protein partitioning in giant plasma membrane vesicles

SA Johnson, BM Stinson, MS Go, LM Carmona… - … et Biophysica Acta (BBA …, 2010 - Elsevier
Liquid-ordered (Lo) and liquid-disordered (Ld) phase coexistence has been suggested to
partition the plasma membrane of biological cells into lateral compartments, allowing for …

[PDF][PDF] A mechanism to minimize errors during non-homologous end joining

BM Stinson, AT Moreno, JC Walter, JJ Loparo - Molecular cell, 2020 - cell.com
Stinson et al. demonstrate that DNA end processing during non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)
occurs only after DNA ends are aligned for ligation. This mechanism minimizes errors …

Subunit asymmetry and roles of conformational switching in the hexameric AAA+ ring of ClpX

BM Stinson, V Baytshtok, KR Schmitz… - Nature structural & …, 2015 - nature.com
The hexameric AAA+ ring of Escherichia coli ClpX, an ATP-dependent machine for protein
unfolding and translocation, functions with the ClpP peptidase to degrade target substrates. …

Multistep substrate binding and engagement by the AAA+ ClpXP protease

RA Saunders, BM Stinson… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
Escherichia coli ClpXP is one of the most thoroughly studied AAA+ proteases, but relatively
little is known about the reactions that allow it to bind and then engage specific protein …

[HTML][HTML] Structural role for DNA Ligase IV in promoting the fidelity of non-homologous end joining

BM Stinson, SM Carney, JC Walter… - Nature Communications, 2024 - nature.com
Nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), the primary pathway of vertebrate DNA double-strand-break
(DSB) repair, directly re-ligates broken DNA ends. Damaged DSB ends that cannot be …

Comammox and unknown ammonia oxidizers contribute to nitrite accumulation in an integrated AB stage process that incorporates side-stream EBPR (S2EBPR)

…, D Kang, D Wang, A Patel, J McQuarrie, BM Stinson… - Water Research, 2024 - Elsevier
A novel integrated pilot-scale A-stage high rate activated sludge, B-stage short-cut biological
nitrogen removal and side-stream enhanced biological phosphorus removal (A/B-shortcut N…
