The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified

Directed evolution of enzyme catalysts
, 1997 Directed enzyme evolution has emerged in the past few years as a powerful alternative to rational approaches for engineering biocatalysts. Prerequisites for successful directed evolution are functional expression in a suitable microbial host, a rapid ...

Directed Evolution with Fast and Efficient Selection Technologies
CHIMIA, 2001 Directed molecular evolution has proven to be a very powerful concept for the generation of proteins with improved properties, such as increased activity, binding affinity, folding efficiency or enhanced chemical and/or thermodynamic stability ...

Flavoproteins in Directed Evolution
, 2010 In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden zwei Enzyme, eine Enoatreduktase (YqjM) und eine Monooxigenase (\(P450_{BM3}\)), mittels "Gerichteter Evolution" auf die Akzeptanz neuer Substrate angepasst. Mittel iterativem CASTing (combinatorial active site saturation test) konnten in beiden Fällen hoch regio- und stereoselektive Mutanten erhalten werden ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
