Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Impact evaluation combining ability of tomato hybrids and lines for production and fruit quality traits

open access: yesAgronomía Mesoamericana
Introduction. The selection of pure lines followed by crosses to create superior hybrids is one of the oldest strategies in crop breeding. Combining ability studies provide reliable information for selection of parents for hybrid combination by revealing

Regulation of Murine Class I Genes by Interferons is Controlled by Regions Located Both 5' and 3' to the Transcription Initiation Site [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
Interferons regulate the expression of a large number of mammalian genes, including the major histocompatibility antigen genes. To investigate the mechanisms involved in interferon action, we have analyzed the ability of murine H-2Ld and H-2Dd DNA ...

Gene Action in Paramecium

open access: yesAnnals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 1945
Gene action in Paramecium aiurelia has been investigated (Sonneborn, '43a) most fully in the case of the action of the gene involved in the determination of the difference between "killers" and "sensitives." One race of this species makes the fluid in which it lives poisonous to nearly all other races of Paramecium.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Gene action in the mammalian X-chromosome [PDF]

open access: yesGenetical Research, 1967
Contrary to opinions expressed by various authors, the phenotype of heterozygotes for mammalian sex-linked genes gives no support for the Lyon hypothesis (L.H.). Evidence, mainly from the mouse, shows that in such heterozygotes, both alleles act together as in autosomal genes.In the present paper, it is shown that neither the behaviour of double ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.
