FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Investigating interfacial cracks in bi-materials through a 4-point bending model analysis [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied MechanicsThis study focuses on examining the failure behavior of interfacial cracks in bimaterial structures. Bimaterials present a unique challenge due to their composition, consisting of two materials that can be homogeneous and isotropic, with a specific ...

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Introduction: When an intraocular lens (IOL) injector is inserted through a pre-cut corneal incision (e.g., an empirical size of 2.2 mm) during small incision cataract surgery, uncontrollable tearing to the corneal tissue may occur, which is highly ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Research on the energy evolution characteristics and the failure intensity of rocks
International Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2020 It is pretty challenging and difficult to quantitatively evaluate the intensity of dynamic disasters in deep mining engineering. Based on the uniaxial loading-unloading experiments for five types of rocks, this paper investigated the energy evolution ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.
