Nature Communications, 2016 Placement of the bacterial division site is crucial for the creation of identical daughter cells. Here, the authors solve the structure of the MapZ protein, which helps to position the cell division protein FtsZ at the cell centre, and further analyse ...

Evaluating the effect of γ‐oryzanol on MASLD pathology using a medaka fish model
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study explores a liver disease called MASLD, which is increasing worldwide and can lead to serious damage. Researchers used medaka fish instead of rodents to test a food compound, γ‐oryzanol. Fish fed this compound had less liver fat and healthier gut bacteria.

Identification of (20R)‐protopanaxadiol from Panax ginseng as a novel anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 compound
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We established a noninfectious BAC‐based SARS‐CoV‐2 replicon that enables antiviral screening under BSL‐2 conditions. Using this platform, we screened 373 food‐derived compounds and identified (20R)‐protopanaxadiol from Panax ginseng as a novel inhibitor of SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA replication, highlighting the value of safe replicon systems for antiviral ...

Transcriptome changes and cAMP oscillations in an archaeal cell cycle [PDF]
, 2007 Background The cell cycle of all organisms includes mass increase by a factor of two, replication of the genetic material, segregation of the genome to different parts of the cell, and cell division into two daughter cells.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We report the first β‐glucosidase with demonstrated hydrolytic activity on an N‐linked glycopyranoside. The enzyme, native to maize, was biochemically characterised for this novel reaction, and structural modelling of the enzyme–substrate complex revealed several clues to the underlying reduced catalytic rate relative to its native O‐glycopyranoside ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Recent years have seen significant progress in understanding basic bacterial cell cycle properties such as cell growth and cell division. While characterization and regulation of bacterial cell cycle is quite well documented in the case of fast growing ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

, 2012 The bacterial cell is well-organized and many proteins are confined to regions such as midcell or cell poles. These areas are not separated from each other by membranes, and therefore bacteria must rely on basic biophysical processes to localize proteins

Bacterial glycobiology: rhamnose-containing cell wall polysaccharides in Gram-positive bacteria. [PDF]
, 2016 The composition of the Gram-positive cell wall is typically described as containing peptidoglycan, proteins and essential secondary cell wall structures called teichoic acids, which comprise approximately half of the cell wall mass.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...
