Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

A global network for investigating the genomic epidemiology of malaria.

open access: yes, 2008
Large-scale studies of genomic variation could assist efforts to eliminate malaria. But there are scientific, ethical and practical challenges to carrying out such studies in developing countries, where the burden of disease is greatest.

Genomic Characterization of the First Parechovirus in Bats [PDF]

open access: yesVirologica Sinica, 2019
As important hosts for several pathogenic viruses, bats harbor viruses from almost all families of vertebrate viruses, including several genera of family Picornaviridae, including Hepatovirus, Kobuvirus, Crohivirus, and Sapelovirus ( Drexler et al. 2015 ; Wu et al. 2016 ; Yinda et al. 2017 ).

Epidemiological characteristics and structural-functional implications of spike protein variations in a bovine coronavirus isolate from diarrheic calves

open access: yesVirulence
Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is an important pathogen associated with enteric disease in calves, contributing to significant economic losses worldwide. To provide an updated overview of BCoV epidemiology, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis ...

‘Guide and Prejudice’— How Argonautes recognize targets across domains of life

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Argonaute proteins use short nucleic‐acid guides to locate and regulate specific targets across all domains of life. Despite striking diversity—from human gene silencing to bacterial immune defence—all Argonautes share a conserved three‐stage recognition logic: guide‐directed sampling, progressive target pairing with a conformational checkpoint and ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Integrated genomic characterization of oesophageal carcinoma [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2017
Oesophageal cancers are prominent worldwide; however, there are few targeted therapies and survival rates for these cancers remain dismal. Here we performed a comprehensive molecular analysis of 164 carcinomas of the oesophagus derived from Western and Eastern populations.

Extensive pneumocephalus in a fatal central nervous system infection caused by NDM-1–producing carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae: a case report

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine
BackgroundCentral nervous system (CNS) infections caused by New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1)-producing carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) are rare but associated with extremely high mortality because of extensive antimicrobial ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...
