Anthropogenic heavy metals in organic forest soils [PDF]
, 2006 The continuous heavy metal accumulation in organic topsoils in forests will pose problems for soil microbial health for many years to come. The primary objective of this thesis was to investigate heavy metal pollution in forest soils and its effects on ...

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

Bacteria in heavy metal contaminated soil: diversity, tolerance and use in remediation [PDF]
, 2010 The objectives of this project were to determine the bacterial diversity in a heavily contaminated metal region of Portugal. Both traditional and molecular based methods were used to identify tolerant strains and species. The most tolerant species were

Interpreting the effects of DNA polymerase variants at the structural level
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Using MAVISp and molecular dynamics simulations, we analyzed over 60 000 missense variants in POLE and POLD1 from ClinVar, COSMIC, cBioPortal, and saturation mutagenesis. Identified mechanistic indicators, including stability, binding, and long‐range, enable structural interpretation, providing ACMG‐like evidence for possible reclassification of VUS ...

Effect of heavy metal stress in plant metabolism of solanaceous plant species with emphasis on nitrogen assimilation [PDF]
, 2011 Several plant species are able to accumulate and withstand large quantities of heavy metals in their tissues without dramatic alterations in their growth usually observed in plants. Such metal accumulating plants are tested and used for remediation of

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.14‐day casting‐induced immobilization reduced gastrocnemius muscle mass and increased non‐heme iron and ferritin heavy chain levels. Despite iron accumulation, transferrin receptor 1 and iron regulatory protein 2 were paradoxically upregulated. Lipid peroxidation was elevated without compensatory antioxidant responses.

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...
