Two distinct ferredoxins are essential for nitrogen fixation by the iron nitrogenase in Rhodobacter capsulatus

open access: yesmBio
Nitrogenases are the only enzymes able to fix gaseous nitrogen into bioavailable ammonia and hence are essential for sustaining life. Catalysis by nitrogenases requires both a large amount of ATP and electrons donated by strongly reducing ferredoxins or ...

Astrocytic FDX1 Contributes to Copper Dyshomeostasis‐associated Synaptic Dysfunction in Depression and Is Modulated by Exercise

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic stress disrupts copper homeostasis and promotes copper accumulation in the prelimbic cortex, leading to astrocytic FDX1 upregulation. Elevated astrocytic FDX1 impairs calcium signaling, induces structural atrophy, and disrupts synaptic function, contributing to depressive‐like behaviors. Physical exercise reverses these alterations by restoring

NIR‐II Light‐Triggered Electron Flow Initiates Cuproptosis‐Centered Thermoelectric‐Immunotherapy for Breast Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A NIR‐II light‐activatable thermoelectric nanoreactor converts surface‐bound Cu2+ into bioactive Cu+ via directed electron flow. This spatiotemporally controlled reduction triggers potent cuproptosis and immunogenic cell death, eradicating primary tumors and, together with aPD‐1 therapy, suppressing metastases while establishing durable immune memory ...

Growth-promoting effect on iron-sulfur proteins on axenic cultures of Entamoeba dispar

open access: yesParasite, 2006
A growth-promoting factor (GPF) that promotes the growth of Entamoeba dispar under axenic culture conditions was found in fractions of mitochondria (Mt), hydrogenosomes (Hg) and chloroplasts (Cp) obtained from cells of six different protozoan, mammalian ...

Reversing Temozolomide Resistance in Glioblastoma Based on Cuproptosis‐Mediated Positive Feedback Loop

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
To effectively reverse TMZ resistance, this work proposes a cuproptosis‐mediated positive feedback loop that integrates mitochondrial dysfunction, ATP depletion, AMPK‐p53 signaling, and glycolytic inhibition, ultimately amplifying cell death. This cuproptosis‐mediated feedback loop simultaneously disrupts multiple resistance pathways in GBM, including ...

Ferredoxins of the third kind [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2001
Most low‐potential ferredoxins (Fds) are of the well‐known [2Fe–2S] plant or [4Fe–4S] bacterial type. Yet, an additional class of [2Fe–2S] Fds has been recognized on the basis of sequence and spectroscopic idiosyncrasies. A recent crystal structure has confirmed the uniqueness of this third kind of Fd, and shown that these proteins display an ...

EP300‐Mediated MTF1‐K218 Lactylation Buffers AR‐Driven Copper Overload to Suppress Cuproptosis in Castration‐Resistant Prostate Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Androgen receptor (AR) drives copper accumulation in prostate cancer while inducing MTF1 to buffer copper toxicity. EP300‐mediated lactylation of MTF1 at K218 promotes its nuclear translocation and metallothionein expression, sequestering cytosolic copper and preventing mitochondrial cuproptosis.

An Avalanche Effect Nanomodulator Triggers Cascade Ferroptosis/Cuproptosis for Immunosuppressive Microenvironment Remodeling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A nanomodulator called L‐Arginine/lificiguat@Copper‐hollow Prussian blue@Calcium phosphate nanoparticles is constructed to launch a self‐amplifying “avalanche effect” in tumor cells. The ensuing cascade, triggered by the acidic tumor microenvironment and near‐infrared light, induces calcium overload, generates a reactive oxygen species and reactive ...

Identification of the two-component guaiacol demethylase system from Rhodococcus rhodochrous and expression in Pseudomonas putida EM42 for guaiacol assimilation

open access: yesAMB Express, 2019
A diversity of softwood lignin depolymerization processes yield guaiacol as the main low molecular weight product. This key aromatic compound can be utilized as a carbon source by several microbial species, most of which are Gram positive bacteria ...
