BCG vaccination potentiates oxidative phosphorylation in neonatal myeloid‐derived suppressor cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
BCG vaccination enhances oxidative phosphorylation in neonatal MDSCs, impairing their immunosuppressive function. It upregulates electron transport chain genes and mitochondrial activity, increasing ATP and oxygen consumption. Pharmacological OXPHOS inhibition partially restores suppressive capacity, confirming causality.

Deep-branching ANME-1c archaea grow at the upper temperature limit of anaerobic oxidation of methane

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
In seafloor sediments, the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) consumes most of the methane formed in anoxic layers, preventing this greenhouse gas from reaching the water column and finally the atmosphere.

The complex of cytochrome c and cytochrome c peroxidase: The end of the road?

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2011
Cytochrome c (Cc) and cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP) form a physiological complex in the inter-membrane space of yeast mitochondria, where CcP reduces hydrogen peroxide to water using the electrons provided by ferrous Cc. The Cc-CcP system has been a popular choice of study of interprotein biological electron transfer (ET) and in understanding dynamics ...

The heme auxotroph Caenorhabditis elegans can cleave the thioether bonds of c-type cytochromes [PDF]

, 2018
Heme is essential and synthesised via highly-regulated processes. For this reason, most organisms strive to recycle it or acquire it from their environment.

Recent insights into the molecular mechanism of ubiquinol oxidation by cytochrome bc1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The review reflects on the mechanism of the catalytic reaction in cytochrome bc1: the electron bifurcation that involves the separation of two electrons derived from the quinol oxidation to opposite sides of the enzyme across the membrane. This review summarizes the long‐standing effort to understand the mechanism of quinol oxidation catalyzed by ...

Electron transport across the cell envelope via multiheme c-type cytochromes in Geobacter sulfurreducens

Frontiers in Chemistry
Extracellular electron transfer (EET) enables certain microorganisms to respire using soluble and insoluble extracellular electron acceptors by transporting electrons across the cell envelope. Among these, G. sulfurreducens serves as a model organism for

Evolution of the Couple Cytochrome c and Cytochrome c Oxidase in Primates [PDF]

, 2012
Mitochondrial energy metabolism has been affected by a broad set of ancient and recent evolutionary events. The oldest example is the endosymbiosis theory that led to mitochondria and a recently proposed example is adaptation to cold climate by anatomically modern human lineages.

Characterization of the key membrane protein cytochrome Cyc2 from Ghiorsea bivora

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study reports the first detailed biochemical analysis of Cyc2TAG1_1, a cytochrome protein involved in microbial iron oxidation. We produced and purified this enzyme in E. coli, then measured its iron‐oxidizing efficiency, and characterized its electrical and structural properties.

Optimizing Electroactive Organisms: The Effect of Orthologous Proteins

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2019
Extracellular electron transfer pathways allow bacteria to transfer electrons from the cell metabolism to extracellular substrates, such as metal oxides in natural environments and electrodes in microbial electrochemical technologies (MET).

Dactolisib outperforms Rapamycin in potentiating apoptosis induced by XPO1, Bcl‐2 and Mcl‐1 blockade in preclinical glioblastoma models

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The PAM pathway and its impact on cellular metabolism. Color‐coded key symbols represent Rapamycin (R, orange, targeting mTOR) and Dactolisib (D, green, targeting PI3K/mTOR), indicating their sites of action. Created with BioRenders.com. Glioblastoma resists therapy through interconnected survival programs.
