Mechanism of cyanobacterial ferredoxin‐dependent flavin thioredoxin reductase reveals thiolate‐FAD charge transfer and catalytic asymmetry in a homodimer

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Ferredoxin‐dependent flavin thioredoxin reductases (FFTRs) regenerate reduced thioredoxin, sustaining dithiol–disulfide exchange reactions that regulate protein activity in select organisms. In cyanobacterial FFTRs, we describe the formation of a thiolate–flavin charge transfer complex, asynchronous reduction of the two FAD cofactors within the ...

Heterologous plastoquinone production using a newly identified O2‐dependent cyanobacterial hydroxylase

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In this study, we confirm that PlqH is the hydroxylase operating in plastoquinone biosynthesis in photosynthetic cyanobacteria (Cyanobacteriia). Our phylogenetic analyses demonstrate that cyanobacterial PlqH homologues originated from hydroxylases involved in ubiquinone biosynthesis in bacteria. Plastoquinone production in Escherichia coli was achieved

Binding of Bacillus subtilis dynamin‐like protein DynA to the bacterial membrane is essential for effective phage defense

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The bacterial dynamin‐like protein DynA from Bacillus subtilis plays a key role in phage defense. It binds the plasma membrane through a unique paddle domain in its D1 subunit. This membrane association is essential for its protective function, likely preventing explosive membrane rupture following phage infection.
