Cryo‐EM structures of multiple‐peptide resistance factor (MprF) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cryo‐EM analysis of MprF from Pseudomonas aeruginosa reveals a dimeric enzyme, distinct from Rhizobium homologues. The soluble GNAT domain contains a dynamic amphipathic helix (TTH) that adopts different positions in detergent micelle and nanodisc, relative to the membrane.

Caffeylpyruvate hydrolase from the bioluminescent fungus Neonothopanus gardneri is the key recycling enzyme in the fungal bioluminescence pathway

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Caffeic acid is a central metabolite in the fungal bioluminescence pathway. We identified and characterized caffeylpyruvate hydrolase from Neonothopanus gardneri (ngarCPH) and demonstrate its ability to hydrolyze fungal oxyluciferin into caffeic and pyruvic acids, confirming a complete and self‐sustained fungal bioluminescence cycle.

Unraveling the active site cover of coproheme decarboxylase from Listeria monocytogenes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
During heme biosynthesis in Gram‐positive bacteria, coproheme decarboxylase (ChdC) catalyzes the conversion of four‐propionate substrate coproheme to the two propionate product heme b. Its active site is universally covered by a flexible linking loop. This study identifies an important histidine residue, which stabilizes the loop in a ChdC homolog.

Associations Between Multimorbidity, Polypharmacy and Oral Conditions in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the relationship between multimorbidity and polypharmacy on the oral health in older adults (aged 75 years or older). The PECO focus question set for this study was, ‘What is the occurrence, association and impact of multimorbidity and polypharmacy on the oral conditions and its ...

Distinct Microbiota and Functional Pathway Profiles Define Success and Failure in Regenerative Endodontic Treatment

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To characterize the intracanal microbiota and identify key microbial taxa and functional pathways associated with regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) outcomes. Methodology In this observational cohort study, 196 samples were collected at five time points from external tooth surfaces (T1, T4) and root canals (T2, T3, T5).
