Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Protocol for ultracentrifugation-based isolation and characterization of extracellular vesicles from FGF2-primed astrocytes

open access: yesSTAR Protocols
Summary: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate intercellular communication by transferring bioactive molecular cargo. We present a protocol for isolating EVs from fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2)-primed primary mouse astrocytes using differential ...

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

The fractionation of lymphoid cells

open access: yes, 1972
The work described in this thesis set out to elucidate the heterogeneity of lymphocytes from rats by investigating methods for the separation and analysis of lymphocyte sub-populations. In order to separate lymphocytes on the basis of differences in their size, the technique of velocity sedimentation under the influence of gravity in a shallow albumin ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Protocol for identifying surface membrane proteins and their associated proteome from mouse cortical neuron cultures by in situ biotinylation

open access: yesSTAR Protocols
Summary: Modifications to the plasma membrane proteome reflect neuronal physiological states. Here, we present a protocol to profile surface proteins from mouse cortical neuron cultures using in situ biotinylation.

On-farm fractionation of milk components [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Methods for on-farm extraction of low-concentration (minor) proteins from raw whole bovine milk directly after milking were explored. These minor proteins have high commercial value.

Cell Competition and its role in the regulation of cell fitness from development to cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Cell competition is a cell fitness-sensing mechanism conserved from insects to mammals that eliminates those cells that, although viable, are less fit than their neighbors. An important implication of cell competition is that cellular fitness is not only

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...
