FEBS 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 ...

Membrane Insertion Depth and Curvature Sensing [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2015 Many cellular processes require specific membrane deformations and reorganization, including endocytosis and cell division. Recently it has been shown that the degree of membrane curvature regulates activity and localization for some proteins such as ArfGAP1 and SpoVM.

Mean Curvature Flow with a Neumann Boundary Condition in Flat Spaces [PDF]
, 2012 In this thesis I study mean curvature flow in both Euclidean and Minkowski space with a Neumann boundary condition. In Minkowski space I show that for a convex timelike cone boundary condition, with compatible spacelike initial data, mean curvature flow

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

In-Line Hybrid Fiber Sensor for Curvature and Temperature Measurement
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2019 We proposed and demonstrated a compact inline optical fiber sensor for curvature and temperature measurement with low cross sensitivity. The device consists of a 5 mm long hollow-core fiber (HCF) spliced between two single-mode fibers. Two up-tapers were

2D and 3D Shape Sensing Based on 7-Core Fiber Bragg Gratings
Photonic Sensors, 2020 A fiber-optic shape sensing based on 7-core fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The investigations are presented for two-dimensional and three-dimensional shape reconstruction by distinguishing bending and twisting of

Modeling curvature-dependent subcellular localization of the small sporulation protein SpoVM in Bacillus subtilis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Recent in vivo experiments suggest that in the bacterium, Bacillus subtilis, the cue for the localization of the small sporulation protein, SpoVM, an essential factor in spore coat formation, is curvature of the bacterial plasma membrane.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.
