A Hanks‐type bacterial kinase, PknS, directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK to promote resistance to protist predation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The Xanthomonas citri Hanks‐type kinase PknS autophosphorylates and directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK at five residues. Besides the conserved residue T51 in the σ2 domain, phosphorylation of a residue in the linker between σ2 and σ4 is critical for EcfK activation by promoting its interaction with a positively charged pocket in ...

Phycocyanobilin biosynthesis in Galdieria sulphuraria requires isomerization of phycoerythrobilin synthesized by bilin reductases

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The biosynthesis of bilins, tetrapyrroles essential for light harvesting and sensing, is performed by specific enzymes (FDBRs). In Galdieria sulphuraria, both phycobiliprotein types bind phycocyanobilin, despite lacking the canonical synthesizing gene PCYA. Instead, PEBA and PEBB are encoded, producing phycoerythrobilin, proposed to be later isomerized

Deciphering the properties and reaction mechanism of anhydromevalonate phosphate decarboxylase, a prenylated flavin mononucleotide‐dependent enzyme in the archaeal mevalonate pathway

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Characterization of anhydromevalonate phosphate decarboxylase, the UbiD‐family decarboxylase involved in the archaeal mevalonate pathway, was conducted. The enzyme is responsible for the biosynthesis of isoprenoids, such as archaeal membrane lipids, respiratory quinones, and dolichols.

Anemia‐associated mutations disrupt the CDIN1‐Codanin1 complex in inherited congenital dyserythropoietic anemia I (CDA‐I) disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I (CDA‐I) arises from mutations in Codanin1 and CDIN1. Using quantitative biophysical approaches, we show that disease‐associated mutations disrupt the CDIN1‐Codanin1 complex. Our findings provide critical insights into the molecular mechanism that links protein dysfunction to disturbing chromatin arrangement ...
