This research, published in Molecular Neurodegeneration, suggests […] Protein structure studies demonstrate how SARM1 senses cellular energy status to trigger axon degeneration April 16, 2021Two recent articles published by Needleman Center researchers dissect the structure of SARM1, an enzyme responsible for initiating programmed axon degeneration, and shed light on how the balance of key cellular metabolites regulate its activity. SARM1 forms an octamer in which each monomer contains an N-terminal autoinhibitory domain, domains that mediate multimerization, and a C-terminal […] See all Needleman Center News Needleman Center for Neurometabolism and Axonal TherapeuticsWashington University School of Medicine4523 Clayton AvenueCouch Building, Rm 6206St. Louis, MO 63114 ©2024 Washington University in St. Louis
