Structure of the atypical bacteriocin pectocin M2 implies a novel mechanism of protein uptake [PDF]

, 2014
The colicin-like bacteriocins are potent protein antibiotics that have evolved to efficiently cross the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria by parasitizing nutrient uptake systems.

Influence of Zn2+ and Oxygen Supply on Malic Acid Production and Growth of Aspergillus oryzae

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malic acid is a valuable platform chemical traditionally derived from fossil‐based resources. Microbial cultivation with Aspergillus oryzae offers a sustainable alternative based on renewable feedstocks. In this study, a well‐established minimal medium for malic acid production, commonly used in previous research to ensure reproducibility, was

Biomaterial design strategies for enhancing mitochondrial transplantation therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Biomaterials to facilitate mitochondrial transplantation therapy: biomaterials as barriers to protect mitochondria from pathophysiological microenvironments, like osmotic stress caused by the excessive concentration of calcium ion, reactive oxygen species, and advanced glycation end products; biomaterials integrating with biochemical cues to improve ...

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

PLoS 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

Oxidative inactivation of ring-cleavage extradiol dioxygenases : mechanism and ferredoxin-mediated reactivation [PDF]

, 2009
Extradiol dioxygenases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze ring cleavage of a wide variety of aromatic compounds. Most of these enzymes contain a ferrous ion at the active site, which is bound to the polypeptide chain through a conserved triad of two ...

Great metalloclusters in enzymology [PDF]

, 2002
Metallocluster-containing enzymes catalyze some of the most basic redox transformations in the biosphere. The reactions catalyzed by these enzymes typically involve small molecules such as N2, CO, and H2 that are used to generate both chemical building ...
