Structural basis for the binding of DNP and purine nucleotides onto UCP1
ATP binds in the same cavity and induces conformational changes in TM2, together with the inward bending of TM1, TM4, TM5 and TM6 of UCP1, resulting in a more compact structure of UCP1.

Visualizing the nucleoplasmic maturation of human pre-60S ribosomal particles
Overall, our data reveal that nuclear assembly of human pre-60S particles is generally hierarchical with short branch pathways, and a few factors display specific roles as rRNA chaperones by confining rRNA helices locally to facilitate their folding, such as the C-terminal domain of SDAD1.
