Show abstract
Artemisinin-resistant mutations in PfKelch13 identified worldwide are mostly confined to its BTB/POZ and KRP domains. To date, only two crystal structures of the BTB/POZ-KRP domains as tight dimers are available, which limits structure-based interpretations of its functionality. Our solution Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) data driven shape restoration of larger length of protein brought forth that: i) PfKelch13 forms a stable hexamer in P6 symmetry, ii) interactions of the N-termini drive the hexameric assembly, and iii) the six KRP domains project independently in space, forming a cauldron-like architecture. While artemisinin-sensitive mutant A578S packed like the wild-type, hexameric assemblies of dominant artemisinin-resistant mutant proteins R539T and C580Y displayed detectable differences in spatial positioning of their BTB/POZ-KRP domains. Lastly, mapping of mutations known to enable artemisinin resistance explained that most mutations exist mainly in these domains because they are non-detrimental to assembly of mutant PfKelch13 and yet can alter the flux of downstream events essential for susceptibility to artemisinin.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
