- Research DataAffinity-dependent peptide loading drives sequential disassembly of the peptide-loading complex2026-07-21Antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) depends on the accurate assembly of peptide–MHC I complexes, yet the molecular mechanism coupling peptide loading to peptide-loading complex (PLC) disassembly remains unresolved. Progress has been limited by the lack of an in vitro system that faithfully recapitulates the native membrane environment. Here, we reconstitute intact human PLCs in liposomes, enabling analysis of peptide loading, MHC I release, and post-release glycan processing under membrane-reconstituted conditions. We show that high-affinity peptide binding triggers allomorph-specific release of MHC I from the PLC, independent of the conformational state of the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). Furthermore, glucosidase II-mediated N-glycan trimming and calreticulin dissociation occur predominantly after MHC I exits the PLC, revealing a sequential disassembly mechanism. These findings define the molecular sequence of events underlying PLC disassembly and provide a versatile platform for mechanistic studies of antigen processing.
5 1 - Research DataATP-driven conformational dynamics reveal hidden intermediates in a heterodimeric ABC transporter2026-07-15ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are essential molecular machines whose conformational dynamics have largely been inferred from ensemble-averaged measurements. Resolving dynamic heterogeneity and transient intermediates, however, requires single-molecule approaches. Here, we use single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) to resolve ATP-driven conformational dynamics of the heterodimeric type IV ABC transporter TmrAB, a functional homolog of the human antigen transporter TAP, at the level of individual molecules. Fluorophores positioned at the nucleotide-binding domains and periplasmic gate were validated by accessible-volume simulations, fluorescence lifetimes, and ensemble FRET, demonstrating that these reporters reliably track conformational transitions. Single-molecule analysis distinguishes ATP-free and ATP-bound states and quantifies ATP-dependent population shifts from nucleotide-free to physiological ATP concentrations. Kinetic analysis further reveals an unexpectedly long ATP-bound dwell time of ~300 ms. Using complementary stabilization strategies, we directly resolve a previously hidden outward-facing open state that is kinetically masked under turnover conditions. These results provide the first single-molecule characterization of TmrAB and establish a quantitative single-molecule framework for dissecting ATP-coupled conformational dynamics in heterodimeric ABC transporters.
35 13 - Research DataQuantitative nanoscale imaging shows peptide–MHC I complexes are monomeric and spatially regulated in human dendritic cells2026-07-13Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) molecules present antigenic peptides to cytotoxic T cells, a process central to immune surveillance. However, the nanoscale spatial organization of peptide–MHC I (pMHC I) on human dendritic cells (DCs), key initiators of cytotoxic T cell responses, remains largely unexplored. Here, we combine high-affinity soluble T cell receptors with DNA-based point accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT) to quantitatively map and count defined pMHC I complexes at single-molecule resolution on HLA-A*02:01-expressing cells and primary human monocyte-derived DCs. We found no evidence for higher-order pMHC I nanoclusters under conditions of extracellular peptide exchange or physiological intracellular loading. Instead, detected signals correspond to individual pMHC I complexes. Notably, DC differentiation and activation modulate pMHC I surface abundance and spatial compartmentalization. These findings refine current models of antigen presentation by emphasizing regulation through surface density and spatial distribution, and establish a quantitative framework for epitope-specific, single-molecule quantification of antigen presentation in human immune cells.
7 14 - Research DataTime-resolved multidimensional NMR spectroscopy deciphers the bifurcated folding pathway of a complex of a Thrombin-binding DNA G4 quadruplex and azobenzene derivatives2026-07-13Resolving the complex folding landscape of biomolecules contributes greatly to understanding cellular function, since cellular regulation and signal transduction are often linked to their conformational dynamics. We here investigate conformational transitions of a DNA deoxyguanosine G-quadruplex (G4) induced by binding of a low molecular weight azobenzene derivative. This ligand acts as a photoswitch that triggers conformational rearrangements of the thrombin binding aptamer (TBA) G4 in a reversible manner pending on the photoisomeric state of the ligand (E- or Z-configuration). We exploit the reversible association-dissociation of the photoactive ligand to extend current real-time NMR experiments, allowing the in-depth characterization of the folding pathways for the ligand association and dissociation processes and induction of G4 refolding. The folding pathway features kinetic partitioning and significant population of G4 folding intermediates.
12 4 - Research Dataα-RuCl3 intercalated into graphite: a new three-dimensional platform for exotic quantum phases2026-06-16Multilayer graphene with different stacking sequences has emerged as a powerful setting for correlated and topological phases. In parallel, progress in graphene heterostructures with magnetic or correlated materials—most notably the Kitaev candidate α-RuCl3 —has demonstrated charge transfer, magnetic proximity effects, and interfacial reconstruction, creating new opportunities for engineered quantum systems. Motivated by these developments, we explore a three-dimensional analogue in which α-RuCl3 layers are inserted directly into the van der Waals gaps of graphite, forming an intercalated system. Here, we report the successful synthesis and comprehensive characterization of graphite intercalated with α- RuCl3. Using a combination of X-ray diffraction, quantum oscillation measurements, and first-principles electronic structure calculations, we study the structural and electronic properties of this intercalated crystals. Our results demonstrate that graphite intercalated with α-RuCl3 offers a robust route to develop three-dimensional materials with access to novel correlated and topological states.

467 411 - Research DataA j_eff 12 Kitaev material on the triangular lattice: The case of NaRuO22023-06-07Motivated by recent reports of a quantum disordered ground state in the triangular lattice compound NaRuO$_2$, we derive a $j_{\rm eff}=1/2$ magnetic model for this system by means of first-principles calculations. The pseudospin Hamiltonian is dominated by bond-dependent off-diagonal $\Gamma$ interactions, complemented by a ferromagnetic Heisenberg exchange and a notably \emph{antiferromagnetic} Kitaev term. In addition to bilinear interactions, we find a sizable four-spin ring exchange contribution with a \emph{strongly anisotropic} character, which has been so far overlooked when modeling Kitaev materials. The analysis of the magnetic model, based on the minimization of the classical energy and exact diagonalization of the quantum Hamiltonian, points toward the existence of a rather robust easy-plane ferromagnetic order, which cannot be easily destabilized by physically relevant perturbations.
