Integrating a Cellular Approach with Atomic Resolution Living systems are complex: mixture of proteins, nucleic acids, other biomolecules, several cellular compartments,...etc A Systems Biology approach is needed. All the players involved in a given process have to be considered as well as their 3D structural and dynamical interactions determined. Proteins must be framed within their cellular context

In-cell NMR can monitor functional processes in live human cells Understanding intracellular processes at the molecular level requires a high resolution description.

Incomplete maturation of SOD1 fALS mutants - ALS: a motor neuron disease - 20% of familial cases is related to mutations of SOD1. - 165 mutations identified so far, scattered throughout the sequence. - Mutations are thought to cause defects in SOD1 maturation, promoting aggregation of the apo protein Luchinat E, Barbieri L, Rubino JT, Kozyreva T, Cantini F, Banci L, Nat. Comm., 2014
Maturation defects of fALS SOD1 mutants Many SOD1 mutants do not bind zinc in the cell, and accumulate as an unstructured species, which does NOT evolve toward the native form (A4V, I35T, G37R, G85R, G93A, I113T) The mutations do not affect zinc binding in vitro I113T# I113T G93A I113T This unstructured species DOES NOT bind zinc It could be a precursor of SOD1 aggregates Luchinat E, Barbieri L, Rubino JT, Kozyreva T, Cantini F, Banci L, Nat.

Iron Sulfur Biogenesis in human cells Humans have around 70 Fe-S proteins! They are less than 0.5% of the human proteome, but absolutely essential. And the Fe-S clusters need to be synthesized! Ciofi-Baffoni S, Nasta V, Banci L., Metallomics. 2018, 49-72
