EndoV does not measurably affect TadA-dependent A-to-I RNA editing in Escherichia coli under exponential-growth conditions in rich medium

Microbiology Spectrum
Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) mRNA editing changes the genetic information post-transcriptionally and was only recently reported to occur in bacteria.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Gene Editing in Fabry Disease: A Strategy Delineation

, 2022
Oral presentation by first authorThe use of iPSCs, in the last years became wide spread, even in our group at INSA, the use of iPSCs to develop models of disease is now envisaged for various Lysosomal Storage Diseases.

Epitranscriptome-wide profiling identifies RNA editing events regulated by ADAR1 that are associated with DNA repair mechanisms in human TK6 cells

Frontiers in Genetics
IntroductionAdenosine-to-Inosine (A-to-I) editing is an endogenous RNA modification in eukaryotes, catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs). This modification modulates the gene expression by influencing splicing, RNA stability, and coding

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Chiral separation of chloroalkanes with the chromatographic column onboard Martian rovers

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Computer image of the Rosalind Franklin Rover of ESA's ExoMars mission. ExoMars is scheduled to land on planet Mars in Oxia Planum in 2029. This area represents an interesting spot to look for biosignatures. Investigations of ExoMars include measurement on molecular chirality. We show that chiral chloroalkanes, that have been identified on Mars, can be

Prospecting the protein design landscape

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review outlines the current state of various protein design approaches. We discuss the current possibilities enabled by recently released tools, highlight future avenues to pursue in protein design, and underscore the crucial role of key databases and resources for successful protein design workflows.

L‐aspartate oxidase provides new insights into fumarate reduction in anaerobic darkness in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.
