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.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

α‐Synuclein aggregation landscape from phase separation to neurotoxic intermediates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Alpha‐synuclein aggregation in Parkinson's disease involves a complex landscape of transient intermediates, including oligomers, fibrils and liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS). A view is emerging in which LLPS maturation into solid‐like condensates may contribute to the formation of neurotoxic species.

Experimental Modelling of Helical Piles Subjected to Axial Loading

International Journal of Emerging Engineering and Technology, 2023
In the construction sector, axial loads have traditionally been supported by piles. There hasn't been sufficient comparative study related to the economics and viability aspects of conventional and helical piles up to this point in natural soil ...

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated

In vitro and in silico modelling of ROS1‐positive non‐small cell lung cancer reveals fusion‐dependent tyrosine kinase inhibitor responses

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Drug resistance limits treatment success in a subset of lung cancers driven by ROS1 gene alterations. Using patient‐derived cells and computer simulations, we studied three key mutations and how they affect five targeted drugs. The mutations reduced drug effectiveness in different ways by altering protein structure and behavior.

Numerical Study on the Effects of Helix Diameter and Spacing on the Helical Pile Axial Bearing Capacity in Cohesionless Soils

Journal of the Civil Engineering Forum
The methods employed to calculate the axial bearing capacity of a helical pile depends on the shear failure model around the pile, which is also influenced by the spacing and diameter of the helical plates.

Research on the Effect of Burial Depth on The Bearing Characteristics of Three Helical Piles Jacket Foundation for Offshore Wind Turbines

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
With global offshore wind power gradually moving to deep and distant waters, there is a clear trend towards larger-scale units, posing significant challenges for future offshore wind power foundations. In this paper, a helical pile jacket foundation type

COMPRESSIVE CAPACITY OF HELICAL PILE FOUNDATION ON PEAT WITH VARIATION OF HELICAL PLATE DIAMETER

astonjadro, 2021
<p>The use of helical foundations to support structures on peat soil is still a new method. Research is needed to develop this foundation. There are 6 types of helical foundation tested on peat soil. To study the effect of helical plate diameter, plate diameters were varied with sizes 25 cm (M), 35 cm (L), and 45 cm (G).
