Crystal structure of pectocin M1 reveals diverse conformations and interactions during its initial step via the ferredoxin uptake system

FEBS Open Bio
Pectocin M1 (PM1), the bacteriocin from phytopathogenic Pectobacterium carotovorum which causes soft rot disease, has a unique ferredoxin domain that allows it to use FusA of the plant ferredoxin uptake system.

Salutary Effects of Overexpression of Rsm22, an Assembly Factor for the Mitochondrial Ribosome, on Frataxin/Yfh1 Depletion Phenotypes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Biomolecules
Frataxin is a component of the iron–sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly complex in mitochondria, and deficiency is associated with Friedreich ataxia (FA). The yeast homolog Yfh1 resembles and cross-complements with its human equivalent, and frataxin bypass ...

Distinct Physiological Roles of the Three Ferredoxins Encoded in the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis

mBio, 2019
Control of electron flux is critical in both natural and bioengineered systems to maximize energy gains. Both small molecules and proteins shuttle high-energy, low-potential electrons liberated during catabolism through diverse metabolic landscapes ...

A Heterodimeric Reduced-Ferredoxin-Dependent Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase from Syngas-Fermenting Clostridium ljungdahlii

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
The strict anaerobe Clostridium ljungdahlii can ferment CO or H2/CO2 via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway to acetate, ethanol, and 2,3‐butanediol. This ability has attracted considerable interest, since it can be used for syngas fermentation to produce ...

Cytochrome cM decreases photosynthesis under photomixotrophy in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 [PDF]

, 2020
Photomixotrophy is a metabolic state that enables photosynthetic microorganisms to simultaneously perform photosynthesis and metabolism of imported organic carbon substrates.

Coordination of Cyanobacterial Nitrate Assimilation and Photosynthesis by a Novel PsbO‐Interacting Protein PirN

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PirN was identified as a previously uncharacterized PsbO‐interacting protein specifically induced in nitrate‐grown cyanobacteria. Loss of PirN leads to coordinated downregulation of PsbO and the nitrate reductase NarB, causing decreased PSII activity and impaired growth under nitrate conditions. Complementation with either PsbO or NarB largely restores

Role of the irr protein in the regulation of iron metabolism in Rhodobacter sphaeroides [PDF]

, 2012
In Rhizobia the Irr protein is an important regulator for iron-dependent gene expression. We studied the role of the Irr homolog RSP_3179 in the photosynthetic alpha-proteobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

Higher Reduced State of Fe/S-Signals, with the Suppressed Oxidation of P700, Causes PSI Inactivation in Arabidopsis thaliana

Antioxidants, 2022
Environmental stress increases the risk of electron accumulation in photosystem I (PSI) of chloroplasts, which can cause oxygen (O2) reduction to superoxide radicals and decreased photosynthetic ability.

The response of diatom central carbon metabolism to nitrogen starvation is different from that of green algae and higher plants [PDF]

, 2011
The availability of nitrogen varies greatly in the ocean and limits primary productivity over large areas. Diatoms, a group of phytoplankton that are responsible for about 20% of global carbon fixation, respond rapidly to influxes of nitrate and are ...

Dual‐Targeting Cuproptosis and Mitophagy via a Flavopiridol‐Copper Nanoplatform Potentiates Immunotherapy Against Uveal Melanoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a GSH‐responsive nanoplatform, NP@Fla‐Cu, to co‐activate cuproptosis and excessive mitophagy in uveal melanoma. The nanoplatform enhances tumor‐specific copper delivery, depletes antioxidant defenses, and remodels the tumor immune microenvironment.
