Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Stability of Volterra difference delay equations

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2006
We study the asymptotic stability of the zero solution of the Volterra difference delay equation \begin{equation} x(n+1)=a(n)x(n)+c(n)\Delta x(n-g(n))+\sum^{n-1}_{s=n-g(n)}k(n,s)h(x(s)).\nonumber \end{equation} A Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem is ...

On Invariants for Difference Equations and Systems of Difference Equations of Rational Form

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1999
The author generalizes results of \textit{C. J. Schinas} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 216, No. 1, 164-179 (1997; Zbl 0889.39006)] on invariants of difference equations of rational form to second- and third-order autonomous and nonautonomous difference equations.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Stability of generalized Newton difference equations

open access: yesAnalele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Ovidius Constanta: Seria Matematica, 2012
In the paper we discuss a stability in the sense of the generalized Hyers-Ulam-Rassias for functional equations Δn(p, c)φ(x) = h(x), which is called generalized Newton difference equations, and give a sufficient condition of the generalized Hyers-Ulam ...

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

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

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Closed-Form Solutions of a Nonlinear Rational Second-Order Three-Dimensional System of Difference Equations

open access: yesMathematics
In this paper, we investigate the behavior of solutions to a nonlinear system of rational difference equations of order two, defined by xn+1=xnyn−1yn(a+bxnyn−1),yn+1=ynzn−1zn(c+dynzn−1),zn+1=znxn−1xn(e+fznxn−1), where n denotes a nonzero integer; the ...
