Proteasomal degradation of intracellularly expressed Amblyomin‐X limits suicide gene therapy potential in melanoma cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study explores the feasibility of expressing the antitumoral protein Amblyomin‐X through a suicide gene therapy approach and investigates its intracellular fate after gene delivery. Although the gene is efficiently expressed, melanoma cells rapidly degrade the Amblyomin‐X protein via proteasome activity.

Large‐scale bidirectional arrayed genetic screens identify OXR1 and EMC4 as modifiers of αSynuclein aggregation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

Adaptive remodeling of the bacterial proteome by specific ribosomal modification regulates Pseudomonas infection and niche colonisation [PDF]

, 2016
Post-transcriptional control of protein abundance is a highly important, underexplored regulatory process by which organisms respond to their environments.

YIPFα1A expression is regulated by multilayered molecular mechanisms

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
YIPFα1A, a five‐pass Golgi protein, is regulated at multiple layers. (1) Rare‐codon enrichment drives translation‐coupled mRNA decay. (2) A proximal 3′‐UTR element stabilizes mRNA. (3) A distal 3′‐UTR element included by alternate poly(A) site usage represses translation, which can be overridden by the proximal 3′‐UTR element.

Novel Cold-Adapted Esterase MHlip from an Antarctic Soil Metagenome

Biology, 2013
An Antarctic soil metagenomic library was screened for lipolytic enzymes and allowed for the isolation of a new cytosolic esterase from the a/b hydrolase family 6, named MHlip. This enzyme is related to hypothetical genes coding esterases, aryl-esterases

Characterisation of a novel cold‐adapted calcium‐activated transglutaminase: implications for medicine and food processing

FEBS Open Bio, 2020
Transglutaminases are a family of enzymes that catalyse the cross‐linking of proteins by forming covalent bonds between lysine and glutamine residues in various polypeptides.

THE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS IN THE RESISTANCE OF A PLANT TO CHILING TEMPERATURES [PDF]

, 2011
In this study, the effects of E.F. in 10 and 40 minutes periods every day, in midday and normal room conditions to the plant Cactus suculent was investigated. The E.F. was applied by two plates that are charged by negative and positive charges.

Sudden anaerobization in Amphibacillus xylanus increases intracellular labile ferrous iron and inhibits cell growth

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...

Purification and Characterization of A New Cold-Adapted and Thermo-Tolerant Chitosanase from Marine Bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. SY39

Molecules, 2019
Chitosanases play an important role in chitosan degradation, forming enzymatic degradation products with several biological activities. Although many chitosanases have been discovered and studied, the enzymes with special characteristics are still rather
