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.

Performance of three commercial lipases in a model enzyme modified cheese system : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Technology in Food Technology at Massey University [PDF]
The effects of Amano 'R' (from Penicillium roqueforti), Palatase (from Mucor miehei) and kid lipase (from kid goat) activity on hydrolysis of triglycerides in a constant enzyme modified cheese (EMC) base have been investigated.

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 ...

The relationship between redox enzyme activity and electrochemical potential—cellular and mechanistic implications from protein film electrochemistry [PDF]
In protein film electrochemistry a redox protein of interest is studied as an electroactive film adsorbed on an electrode surface. For redox enzymes this configuration allows quantification of the relationship between catalytic activity and ...

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

A Review of Enzyme Immobilization Methods and Critical Parameters for Evaluating Immobilized Enzymes [PDF]
Enzymes, natural biocatalysts with high catalytic efficiency, are essential in numerous biological and industrial processes. However, their inherent instability and sensitivity to environmental conditions often limit their direct application.

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.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
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 ...
