Protease-associated import systems are widespread in Gram-negative bacteria.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2019
Bacteria have evolved sophisticated uptake machineries in order to obtain the nutrients required for growth. Gram-negative plant pathogens of the genus Pectobacterium obtain iron from the protein ferredoxin, which is produced by their plant hosts.

Ferredoxin containing bacteriocins suggest a novel mechanism of iron uptake in Pectobacterium spp.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
In order to kill competing strains of the same or closely related bacterial species, many bacteria produce potent narrow-spectrum protein antibiotics known as bacteriocins. Two sequenced strains of the phytopathogenic bacterium Pectobacterium carotovorum

Insights from 125Te and 57Fe nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy: a [4Fe-4Te] cluster from two points of view. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Iron-sulfur clusters are common building blocks for electron transport and active sites of metalloproteins. Their comprehensive investigation is crucial for understanding these enzymes, which play important roles in modern biomimetic catalysis and ...

Influence of Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites on the Nutrient Composition

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials and nanocomposites enhance crop nutrition and food quality by improving nutrient availability, plant uptake, and bioavailability through controlled delivery and nano‐encapsulation. Their applications in agriculture and food systems enable sustainable biofortification, improved preservation, and functional foods, while emphasizing safety ...

A Personal Perspective on Metalloprotein Structure and the Future of Macromolecular X‐Ray Crystallography

open access: yesJournal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
While X‐ray crystallography has been the primary method for determining the structures of metalloproteins, cryoEM has taken over this role, illustrated by [4Fe4S]‐cluster containing proteins deposited in the Protein Data Bank. What will be the role for X‐ray crystallography as cryoEM and machine learning methods dominate the initial structural analysis?

Protein import into chloroplasts: new aspects of a well-known topic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Protein import into plant chloroplasts is a fascinating topic that is being investigated by many research groups. Since the majority of chloroplast proteins are synthesised as precursor proteins in the cytosol, they have to be posttranslationally ...

The X‐Ray Crystal Structure of BorF, the Flavin Reductase Subunit of a Two‐Component Flavin‐Dependent Tryptophan Halogenase

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT BorF is a short‐chain flavin reductase from a desert soil bacterium that uses NADH to reduce FAD to FADH2, which is used by the tryptophan‐6‐halogenase BorH to chlorinate tryptophan in the biosynthetic pathway of borregomycin A. The X‐ray crystal structure of BorF bound to FAD was solved to 2.37 Å by molecular replacement.

The Primary Structure of the Clostridium tartarivorum Ferredoxin, a Heat-stable Ferredoxin

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1971
The amino acid sequence of the Clostridium tartarivorum ferredoxin was determined to be: Ala-His-Ile-Ile-Thr-Asp-Glu-Cys-Ile-Ser-Cys-Gly-Ala-Cys-Ala-Ala-Glu-Cys-Pro-Val-Glu-Ala-Ile-His-Glu-Gly-Thr-Gly-Lys-Tyr-Gln-Val-Asp-Ala-Asp-Thr-Cys-Ile-Asp-Cys-Gly-Ala-Cys-Gln-Ala-Val-Cys-Pro-Thr-Gly-Ala-Val-Lys-Ala-Glu. The first 23 residues were determined in the
