Directed evolution of enzymes at the crossroads of tradition and innovation

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An iterative cycle of data‐driven enzyme optimization comprising four stages: genetic diversification of a template enzyme, expression of protein variants, high‐throughput evaluation, and machine‐learning‐guided redesign of the next variant library.

Decastronema kotori gen. nov., comb. nov.: a mat-forming cyanobacterium on Cretaceous carbonate platforms and its modern counterparts

open access: yesCarnets de Géologie, 2006
The fossil renamed here was first described in 1959 as Aeolisaccus kotori Radoičić, a new species of a problematic fossil worm, Aeolisaccus Elliott. In 1975 De Castro recognized the true relationships of this microbial fossil: a cyanobacterium related ...

Dose‐dependent hepatotoxicity of hydrogen peroxide in HepG2 cells and its modulation by CYP450 induction

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
NMR metabolomics revealed concentration‐dependent metabolic perturbations in HepG2 cells exposed to H2O2. Rifampicin pretreatment enhanced metabolic competence, attenuated toxin‐induced alterations and produced metabolite profiles more consistent with human liver physiology, supporting the use of CYP450‐induced HepG2 models for improved in vitro ...

Quaternary glacial cycles: Karst processes and the global CO2 budget

open access: yesActa Carsologica, 2013
Extensive research has been conducted investigating the relationship between karst processes, carbonate deposition and the global carbon cycle. However, little work has been done looking into the relationship between glaciations, subsequent sea level ...

Evolution‐guided yeast complementation reveals functional differences in human PSPH variants

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Ancient genomes can help guide which human genetic variants are tested experimentally. This study applies that idea to PSPH, a gene involved in serine biosynthesis, and uses high‐throughput yeast complementation to compare variant function. The findings reveal measurable differences among selected alleles and illustrate the value of evolution‐guided ...

IGF2 knockout reduces but does not abolish osteosarcoma growth in vitro and in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
To test whether endogenous IGF2 promotes osteosarcoma growth, IGF2 was knocked out in Saos2 cells via CRISPR‐Cas9. KO cells showed reduced proliferation in vitro, and knockout xenografts in mice reached only ~25% of wild‐type tumor volume. Insulin‐like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is implicated in osteosarcoma, but direct functional evidence of its role is ...

AN ANOXIC INTRAPLATFORM BASIN IN THE MIDDLE TRIASSIC OF LOMBARDY (SOUTHERN ALPS, ITALY): ANATOMY OF A HYDROCARBON SOURCE

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2017
The Ladinian rocks of Central Lombardy consist of carbonate platforms (Esino Formation) subdivided by intraplatform troughs represented either by dark, well bedded limestones, marls and dolomites of poorly oxic to anoxic environment (Perledo-Varenna and ...

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

open access: yesFEBS 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.

TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS ON THE MESOZOIC PERI-ADRIATIC CARBONATE PLATFORMS: THE VERTEBRATE EVIDENCE

open access: yesPublicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2015
The remains of Mesozoic carbonate platforms outcrop along the margins of the Adriatic Sea and the mountain chains surrounding them in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia.

Divergent drift of Adriatic-Dinaridic and Moesian carbonate platforms during the rifting phase witnessed by triassic MVT Pb-Zn and SEDEX deposits; a metallogenic approach

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2016
Early-intracontinental rifting of Pangea is result of thermal doming in Uppermost Permian time giving rise to the formation of horst-graben  structures, followed by slow subsidence, marine transgression and evaporate deposition.
