Structural Basis of the Light‐Switchable Interaction between an Azobenzene Side Chain in a Biosynthetic Protein and α‐Cyclodextrin

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
X‐ray crystallographic analysis of super‐folder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP), a common reporter protein, displaying p‐(phenylazo)‐L‐phenylalanine (Pap) at amino acid position 39 on its surface in complex with α‐cyclodextrin (α‐CD) reveals an unexpected conformation of the photoswitchable side chain and illustrates its light‐dependent ...

Filling the Gaps to Solve the Extensin Puzzle [PDF]

, 2018
Extensins (EXTs) are highly repetitive plant O-glycoproteins that require several post-translational modifications (PTMs) to become functional in plant cell walls.

From Membrane Composition to Antimicrobial Strategies: Experimental and Computational Approaches to AMP Design and Selectivity

Small, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.

Primary metabolites in root exudates are not affected by long‐term soil warming in a temperate forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Primary metabolites in root exudates are essential for plant nutrition and rhizosphere microbiome function, potentially responding sensitively to climate warming. However, the effects of long‐term soil warming on exudate metabolites in forests remain unclear.

Dietary L-arabinose-induced gut dysbiosis exacerbates Salmonella infection outcome

mSystems
The gut microbiota is essential for providing colonization resistance against pathogens. Dietary sugars markedly shift the composition of the intestinal microbiota and alter host susceptibility to enteric infections.

Targeting Genome Maintenance Defects of Cancers Using Chain‐Terminating Nucleoside Analogs

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Nucleoside analogs interfere with DNA replication either by their chain‐terminating properties or by serving as DNA damage on the template. The genome maintenance pathways required to maintain cellular tolerance to each nucleoside analog vary depending on the drug.

Heterologous plastoquinone production using a newly identified O2‐dependent cyanobacterial hydroxylase

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In this study, we confirm that PlqH is the hydroxylase operating in plastoquinone biosynthesis in photosynthetic cyanobacteria (Cyanobacteriia). Our phylogenetic analyses demonstrate that cyanobacterial PlqH homologues originated from hydroxylases involved in ubiquinone biosynthesis in bacteria. Plastoquinone production in Escherichia coli was achieved
