Dancing to Another Tune—Adhesive Moonlighting Proteins in Bacteria
Biology, 2014 Biological moonlighting refers to proteins which express more than one function. Moonlighting proteins occur in pathogenic and commensal as well as in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Dimeric pyruvate formate‐lyase cleaves pyruvate using a radical‐based mechanism. G734 serves as a radical storage location, and the radical is transferred to the catalytic C419 residue. Mutation of the C418‐C419 pair causes loss of enzyme activity, but does not impede radical introduction onto G734. Therefore, cis‐ but not trans‐radical transfer occurs

BLANNOTATOR: enhanced homology-based function prediction of bacterial proteins
BMC Bioinformatics, 2012 Automated function prediction has played a central role in determining the biological functions of bacterial proteins. Typically, protein function annotation relies on homology, and function is inferred from other proteins with similar sequences.

Antiviral activity of bacterial TIR domains via immune signalling molecules
Nature, 2021 The Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain is a canonical component of animal and plant immune systems1,2. In plants, intracellular pathogen sensing by immune receptors triggers their TIR domains to generate a molecule that is a variant of cyclic ADP ...

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Purification tags markedly affect self‐aggregation of CPEB3
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Although recombinant proteins are used to study protein aggregation in vitro, uncleaved tags can interfere with accurate interpretation. Our findings demonstrate that His₆‐GFP and His₁₂ tags significantly affect liquid droplet and amyloid fibril formation in the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of mouse cytoplasmic polyadenylation element‐binding ...

Behind the lines–actions of bacterial type III effector proteins in plant cells
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2016 Pathogenicity of most Gram-negative plant-pathogenic bacteria depends on the type III secretion (T3S) system, which translocates bacterial effector proteins into plant cells.

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.

Rooting the eukaryotic tree with mitochondrial and bacterial proteins.
Molecular biology and evolution, 2012 By exploiting the large body of genome data and the considerable progress in phylogenetic methodology, recent phylogenomic studies have provided new insights into the relationships among major eukaryotic groups.

TRAF2 binds to TIFA via a novel motif and contributes to its autophagic degradation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.TRAF family members couple receptor signalling complexes to downstream outputs, but how they interact with these complexes is not always clear. Here, we show that during ADP‐heptose signalling, TRAF2 binding to TIFA requires two short sequence motifs in the C‐terminal tail of TIFA, which are distinct from the TRAF6 binding motif.
