Characterization of the Cubamyces Menziesii Terpenome
The genome of Cubamyces menziesii reveals 18 putative sesquiterpene cyclase genes. These genes are cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, yielding 10 active enzymes. Using farnesyl diphosphate as substrate, the enzymes are analyzed, and the products characterized after bioconversion, uncovering diverse sesquiterpene structures. This study highlights

The protein LmrR is a versatile scaffold to design artificial metalloenzymes. Here, we show that the M8D/A92E (DE) mutations that result in a much more efficient catalyst, destabilize the protein dimerization interface and alter the conformation landscape when binding metal cofactor and substrates are shown.

Selective Lysine Ubiquitination Using Activated Phenol Esters
Ubiquitination of both peptides and proteins using a novel water‐soluble acylation reagent, based on a 2,4‐dichloro‐6‐sulfonic acid phenol ester, is presented. At alkaline pH, fast lysine ubiquitination is observed on model peptide FLYRANK, and its regioselectivity is confirmed using controls.
