Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Methanogenesis in the presence of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria may contribute to global methane cycle

Nature Communications
Accumulating evidences are challenging the paradigm that methane in surface water primarily stems from the anaerobic transformation of organic matters.

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

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.

Efficient Photoelectron Capture by Ni Decoration in Methanosarcina barkeri-CdS Biohybrids for Enhanced Photocatalytic CO2-to-CH4 Conversion

iScience, 2020
Summary: Semi-artificial photosynthesis (biohybrid) provides an intriguing opportunity for efficient CO2-to-CH4 conversion. However, creating a desirable semiconductor in biohybrids remains a great challenge. Here, by doping Ni into CdS nanoparticles, we

Evolution and the Regulation of Environmental Variables [PDF]

, 2005
The idea that the biota can regulate the abiotic components of their environment to levels suitable for life has attracted criticism from neo-Darwinian theorists but is still a viable hypothesis. Here we present a model, similar to Daisyworld [1] but more general, which allows for a more extensive study of the compatibility of biotic regulation with ...
