Three cryo-EM structures of CD109 reveal its mechanism of protease inhibition by Ana V. Almeida, Kathrine T. Jensen, Seandean L. Harwood, Martin H. Jørgensen, Nadia S. Nielsen, Ida B. Thøgersen, Jan J. Enghild, Gregers R. Andersen

“…Deglycosylation of CD109 does not affect chymotrypsin conjugation but enhances substrate access, suggesting that CD109 glycans contribute to protease inhibition. Our data provide a structural basis for understanding CD109’s protease-triggered membrane release, its protease inhibitory mechanism, and additional biological functions.…”

Formation of tight junction-like structures of zonula occludens 2 in platelet–platelet interaction by Magdolna Nagy, Markus Bender, Natalie S. Poulter, Jeremy A. Pike, Albert Sickmann, Sonja Vondenhoff, Natalia Bielicka, Marc A.M.J. van Zandvoort, Rory R. Koenen, Hugo ten Cate, Xavier Stéphenne, Johan W.M. Heemskerk, Constance C.F.M.J. Baaten

“…In a blood sample from a patient deficient in ZO-2, we observed an increased thrombus stability, suggesting a potential regulation of thrombus stability by these TJ-like structures. Conclusion: Jointly, these data point to the assembly of TJ-like structures of interacting platelets, which enforce platelet adhesion contacts but lower 3-dimensional thrombus stability.…”
