PLoS GeneticsPeptidoglycan (PG) is a protective sac-like exoskeleton present in most bacterial cell walls. It is a large, covalently crosslinked mesh-like polymer made up of many glycan strands cross-bridged to each other by short peptide chains.

, 2020 Cell division in most bacteria is orchestrated by a complex of proteins organized in a ring-shaped structure at midcell known as the divisome or septal ring. In Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, this fundamental biological process involves

Reduced peptidoglycan synthesis capacity impairs growth of E. coli at high salt concentration
mBioGram-negative bacteria have a thin peptidoglycan layer between the cytoplasmic and outer membranes protecting the cell from osmotic challenges. Hydrolases of this structure are needed to cleave bonds to allow the newly synthesized peptidoglycan strands ...

Biocatalysts for Peptide Geranylation With Linear and Cyclic Prenyl Groups
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.A combination of genome mining, synthetic biology, and biocatalytic assays revealed enzymes that install linear and cyclized prenyl moieties on ribosomally or chemically synthesized peptides. The promiscuity of both enzymes, while being specific for modification of C‐terminal tryptophans, enables enzymatic access to peptide terpenoid hybrids.

Characterization of the extracellular matrix from human and dog umbilical cords
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The extracellular matrix is important for maintaining tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis; it can also be used as a biomaterial for the production of biological scaffolds. Particularly, the umbilical cord has shown potential in the production of scaffolds for small‐diameter vessels.

Protein digestion in human and rat small intestine: role of new neutral endopeptidases
, 1988 Two new phosphoramidon-insensitive neutral endopeptidases were identified and partially characterized in the brush-border membrane of rat and human intestine using N-CBZ-L-Ala-L-Arg-L-Arg-4-methoxy-beta-naphthylamide (Z-Ala-Arg-Arg-MNA) and azocasein or

BMEMat, EarlyView.Mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum contact sites (MERCS) are areas where the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum closely interact. In this study, we utilize synthetic organelle glues to artificially engineer MERCS for regulating cardiomyocyte development, through which the immature and chemo‐plasticity issues of undifferentiated cells are addressed.

Impact of the Degree of Hydrolysis on the Functional Properties of Rice Proteins – A Review
Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Enzymatic hydrolysis has been established as an effective strategy to improve the functional properties of plant proteins. Rice proteins are particularly attractive because of their hypoallergenic nature, high nutritional value, and sustainability, although their technological applications remain limited by their low ...
