Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Illness severity, treatment motivation and personality as predictors for the treatment outcome in adolescents and young adults with anorexia nervosa

open access: yesJournal of Eating Disorders
Background Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder with high chronicity, particularly affecting adolescents. Existing treatments for adolescents do not always lead to full recovery.

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.

The Impact of the COVID‐19 Pandemic on the Well‐Being of People With Borderline Personality Disorder: A National Australian Study

open access: yesMental Health Science
Social isolation due to the COVID‐19 pandemic was a significantly destabilizing factor for people with borderline personality disorder (BPD). The aim of this study was to investigate the well‐being of Australians diagnosed with BPD during the initial ...

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 ...

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.

The graded effect of propofol in electrophysiology-guided navigation during deep brain stimulation surgery

open access: yesnpj Parkinson's Disease
Propofol is widely used for general anesthesia (GA) during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery targeting the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in Parkinson’s disease (PD), yet its effects on intra-operative spatial navigation, critical for electrode placement ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...
