A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Movements of molecular motors: Ratchets, random walks and traffic phenomena

open access: yes, 2005
Processive molecular motors which drive the traffic of organelles in cells move in a directed way along cytoskeletal filaments. On large time scales, they perform motor walks, i.e., peculiar random walks which arise from the repeated unbinding from and ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Directed molecular evolution of fourth-generation cephalosporin resistance in

open access: yes, 2018
Cefepime is a fourth-generation cephalosporin approved by the FDA in 1996 (Barlow 2003). Few instances of cefepime resistance have been reported. This research used directed molecular evolution involving error-prone rolling circle amplification on plasmids containing the beta-lactamase gene designated as bla-cmy-2.

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Linking neurogenesis, oligodendrogenesis, and myelination defects to neurodevelopmental disruption in primary mitochondrial disorders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial remodeling shapes neural and glial lineage progression by matching metabolic supply with demand. Elevated OXPHOS supports differentiation and myelin formation, while myelin compaction lowers mitochondrial dependence, revealing mitochondria as key drivers of developmental energy adaptation.

Innovative insights on cleavage and hydrolysis mechanisms of hyaluronic acid: Opportunities and challenges in the preparation and application of hyaluronic acid and hyaluronidases

open access: yesCarbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications
Hyaluronidase is used extensively across various domains, with food industry, healthcare, and surgical applications. Hyaluronidase produces low molecular weight hyaluronate through three mechanisms, substrate cleavage and two different hydrolysis ...

The ubiquitin ligase RNF115 is required for the clearance of damaged lysosomes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Upon lysosomal rupture, an E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF115 translocates from the cytosol to the damaged lysosomal membrane. Moreover, RNF115 depletion impairs the clearance of damaged lysosomes, identifying it as a key regulator of lysosomal quality control.

Orthopoxvirus Genes That Mediate Disease Virulence and Host Tropism

open access: yesAdvances in Virology, 2012
In the course of evolution, viruses have developed various molecular mechanisms to evade the defense reactions of the host organism. When understanding the mechanisms used by viruses to overcome manifold defense systems of the animal organism ...

Scaling Laws and Similarity Detection in Sequence Alignment with Gaps [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We study the problem of similarity detection by sequence alignment with gaps, using a recently established theoretical framework based on the morphology of alignment paths.
