Structural insights into xyloglucan recognition by an ABC transporter from a Gram‐positive, thermophilic bacterium

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Athe_2052 is an ABC transporter substrate‐binding protein that recognizes xyloglucan heptasaccharide (XXXG), a soluble breakdown product of plant xyloglucan. The crystal structure of Athe_2052, together with binding assays and computational modeling, shows how XXXG is recognized by this sugar transporter.

Insights into tandem dioxygenases—copper radical oxidases in fungal Phytopathogens of the Colletotrichum acutatum species complex

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In Colletotrichum acutatum species complex, conserved ring‐cleavage dioxygenases located adjacent to AA5_2 enzymes were investigated as potential redox partners. Biochemical analyses identified the dioxygenases as intradiol‐cleaving enzymes preferentially oxidizing methyl‐substituted catechols, while AA5_2 enzymes displayed weak alcohol oxidase ...

Genome assembly of Elcysma westwoodi provides insights into host‐plant cyanogenic glucoside detoxification and chemical defence gene evolution

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A chromosome‐level genome of Elcysma westwoodi was assembled. The genome encodes 272 detoxification‐related genes. A single‐copy bCAS was retained for cyanide detoxification. CYP405A and CYP332A were recruited into cyanogenic defence evolution. UGT33A retained a conserved GT‐B fold and catalytic domains.

Auxin response and PIN‐mediated transport in chlorophyte algae

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Like multicellular plants, green algae respond to auxin and move it across their cells. However, their PIN‐like proteins do not act like plant auxin exporters, suggesting that basic auxin transport evolved early and specialized directional transport appeared later in plant evolution.
