B ¯ → D ¯ D $$ \overline{B}\to \overline{D}D $$ decays and the extraction of f d /f u at hadron colliders

Journal of High Energy Physics
We perform a detailed model-independent phenomenological analysis of B ¯ → D ¯ D $$ \overline{B}\to \overline{D}D $$ decays. Employing an SU(3) F analysis including symmetry-breaking contributions together with a conservative power counting for various ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

On Extended d-D Kappa Distribution

Axioms
The thermal Doppler broadening of spectral profiles for particle populations in the absence or presence of potential fields can be described by kappa distributions.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Non- $$D{\bar{D}}$$ D D ¯ decays into light meson pairs of the D-wave charmonium $$\psi _3(3842)$$ ψ 3 ( 3842 )

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
As a D-wave partner of $$\psi (3770)$$ ψ ( 3770 ) identified by the LHCb Collaboration, $$\psi _3(3842)$$ ψ 3 ( 3842 ) lies between the $$D{\bar{D}}$$ D D ¯ and $$D\bar{D^*}$$ D D ∗ ¯ thresholds.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
