Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Cryptic biodiversity and phylogeographic patterns of Seychellois Ligia isopods [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Ligia isopods are conspicuous inhabitants of rocky intertidal habitats exhibiting several biological traits that severely limit their dispersal potential.

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

FEBS 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 ...

Structural and Functional Siderophore Remodeling by Enzymatic Delipidation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A surprising functional switch in bacterial siderophores was discovered through genome mining and the analysis of environmental and pathogenic Pandoraea species. Pandorachelin B, a lipocyclopeptide that promotes swarming motility, is cleaved by a specialized acylase, yielding a ring‐contracted, homodetic cyclopeptide, pandorachelin A, which exhibits ...

Genetic dissection of human ABCE1 in yeast reveals separable requirements for ribosome recycling and suppression of aberrant reinitiation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Human ABCE1 cannot functionally replace its yeast ortholog. Yeast–human chimera analysis identified NBD1 as a major interspecies barrier. Genetic screening yielded hABCE1 revertants that rescue yeast viability but fail to suppress aberrant translation reinitiation in the 3′ UTR.

Borosulfates Hosting Se42+ Ions—Crystal Structures, Chemical Bonding, Optical Spectroscopy, and Magnetism

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Apart from (transition) metal (oxo)halides only few hosts stabilize chalcogenide cations in purely oxoanionic coordination environment. Herein, we report on five borosulfates containing the Se42+ ion and characterize the compounds using X‐ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT) calculations along with magnetic

Cryptic species are widespread across vertebrates

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Abstract Many species delimited by morphological data contain two or more species that are distinct based on molecular data (i.e. cryptic species). Cryptic species have important implications for ecology, evolution and conservation. For example, morphology-based species of limited conservation concern can contain cryptic species that ...

RNA Sequencing Resolves Cryptic Pathogenic Variants in Mitochondrial Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial diseases are the most common inherited metabolic disorders, characterized by pronounced clinical and genetic heterogeneity that complicates molecular diagnosis. Although DNA‐based sequencing approaches have become standard in genetic testing, up to half of patients remain without a definitive diagnosis.

Elucidating Photo‐Kinetic Control in Photothermal Reverse Water‐Gas Shift Reaction

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Light directly regulates the rate‐determining step (RDS) in photothermal catalysis. In a Mars–van Krevelen (MvK)‐type reverse water‐gas shift (RWGS) reaction over In‐doped MoO2, light shifts the RDS from the H2‐related reduction half‐reaction to the CO2‐related oxidation half‐reaction, enhancing catalytic activity and lowering the apparent activation ...

Problems and Questions Posed by Cryptic Species. A Framework to Guide Future Studies

History, Philosophy and Theory of the Life Sciences, 2019
Species are the currency of biology and important units of biodiversity, thus errors in species delimitations potentially have important consequences. During the last decades, owing to the use of genetic markers, many nominal species appeared to consist ...
