Cryo‐EM structure of GH43 β‐Xylosidase from Enterobacter cloacae provides insights into substrate specificity and the role of an auxiliary domain in enzymatic activity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Xylan, the second most abundant plant cell wall polysaccharide, is degraded by β‐xylanases and β‐xylosidases. Here, we present the 2.65 Å cryo‐EM structure of Enterobacter cloacae β‐xylosidase (EcXyl43, GH43) and the 2.4 Å X‐ray structure of its inactive F507A mutant.

Common pathways and outliers in glucose catabolism across Trypanosomatidae

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Trypanosomatid parasites, including Trypanosoma sp., Leishmania sp., Phytomonas sp., and Vickermania sp., share a common motif: a metabolism built around the glycosome, a unique peroxisome‐derived organelle housing the first steps of glycolysis. Yet, these organisms have evolved remarkably diverse strategies to catabolize glucose, excreting distinct ...

Crystal structure and biochemical analysis of the polyester‐degrading carboxylesterase SM0281 from the symbiotic legume‐associated rhizobacterium Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The microbial degradation of synthetic polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is mediated by diverse α/β‐hydrolases, many of which remain poorly characterized. In this study, we investigated the α/β‐hydrolase SM0281 from Sinorhizobium meliloti and found that it exhibits robust carboxylesterase and polyesterase activities toward PET, PCL ...

Biocatalytic synthesis of S‐adenosyl‐l‐methionine analogues for allosteric activation of cystathionine‐β‐synthase

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cystathionine‐β‐synthase (CBS) helps remove harmful homocysteine and supports the production of protective sulfur‐containing molecules. Using its natural activator, S‐adenosyl‐l‐methionine, as a template, we designed and tested 15 analogues. Three activated and stabilized the enzyme, including the newly identified S‐2‐amino‐adenosyl‐l‐methionine. These

Benign by design: A paradigm shift in cosmetic ingredient development

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Benign by design strategies enable the creation of biodegradable cosmetic ingredients, reducing environmental persistence while maintaining the intended biological activity. This work compiles design rules and tools to guide the development of more sustainable molecules for the cosmetics industry.
