The C‐terminal domain of yeast Arginyltransferase1 is essential for its catalytic activity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Arginyltransferase 1 (Ate1), a eukaryotic enzyme, catalyses arginylation, transferring arginine from tRNA‐Arg to the amino terminus of the target protein. Overexpression of Ate1 in yeast is lethal and is dependent on arginylation. This study elucidates how mutations in the cofactor‐binding and active site of Ate1 and truncation of its structural ...

Vegetation Restoration Alters Soil Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency via Key Soil Properties and Generalist Communities in Karst Rocky Desertification

Agronomy
Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is an essential metric for assessing soil carbon cycling efficiency. In contemporary biogeochemical models, microbial CUE is often treated as a constant, but it is intricately regulated by biotic and abiotic ...

Identification and characterization of a gene conferring stress resistance in Escherichia coli and cyanobacteria

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Functional screening identified PcSyn14890, a cyanobacteria‐specific protein that enhances growth and stress resistance in E. coli and Synechocystis PCC6803. Although we expected it to function as a molecular chaperone, it was unable to protect against thermal aggregation of GAPDH.

Soil Nematode-Mediated Carbon and Energy Fluxes Along a Continental Gradient in Arid Ecosystems

Soil Systems
Environmental gradients associated with continentality shape terrestrial ecosystems by modifying biodiversity patterns, community structure, and ecosystem functioning. In arid ecosystems, where water and thermal constraints are pronounced, soil organisms

Characterization of the key membrane protein cytochrome Cyc2 from Ghiorsea bivora

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study reports the first detailed biochemical analysis of Cyc2TAG1_1, a cytochrome protein involved in microbial iron oxidation. We produced and purified this enzyme in E. coli, then measured its iron‐oxidizing efficiency, and characterized its electrical and structural properties.

Fluorination: A strategy to tune the interactions of molecules and nanoscale systems with biological matter

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This minireview explores fluorination as a key strategy to optimize therapeutic molecules and nanocarriers. By incorporating different fluorinated motifs—from single atoms to linear and branched chains—drug delivery, cellular uptake, and colloidal stability can be improved and fine‐tuned.

Integrated Soil–Crop System Management Promotes Microbial Necromass and Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration in Black Soil Through Microbial Transformation and Aggregate Protection

Microorganisms
Long-term intensive cultivation has degraded soil structure and reduced soil organic carbon (SOC) retention in the black soils of Northeast China. However, the processes underlying SOC accumulation under integrated soil–crop system management (ISSM ...

Differentiated Climate Drivers of Carbon and Water Use Efficiencies Across Land Use Types in the Yellow River Basin, China

Land
Given the crucial role of land use in shaping coupled water–carbon processes in ecosystems, it is essential to assess carbon use efficiency (CUE) and water use efficiency (WUE) across different land use types.

Rationally engineered polymeric interfaces for selective and dynamic recognition of vesicular agents

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explores how molecularly imprinted polymers can be engineered to recognize complex nanoscale vesicles, including extracellular vesicles and membrane‐enveloped viruses. By tailoring polymer cavities to vesicle surface chemistry and structure, these synthetic receptors support selective detection, separation, and integration with optical ...
