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.

Pharmaceuticals, 2021 Phage therapy is the use of bacterial viruses as antibacterial agents. A primary consideration for commercial development of phages for phage therapy is the number of different bacterial strains that are successfully targeted, as this defines the breadth

Variations in type III effector repertoires do not correlate with differences in pathological phenotypes and host range observed for Xanthomonas citri pv. citri pathotypes [PDF]
, 2012 Xanthomonas citri pv. citri (Xac) is a quarantine bacterium causing Asiatic citrus canker. Strains of Xac are classified as pathogenic variants i.e.

Host range and local parasite adaptation [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2002 Parasites may be expected to become locally adapted to their hosts. However, while many empirical studies have demonstrated local parasite adaptation, others have failed to demonstrate it, or have shown local parasite maladaptation. Researchers have suggested that gene flow can swamp local parasite-host dynamics and produce local adaptation only at ...

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Viruses, 2021 Lyssaviruses are neurotropic rhabdoviruses thought to be restricted to mammalian hosts, and to originate from bats. The identification of lyssavirus sequences from amphibians and reptiles by metatranscriptomics thus comes as a surprise and challenges the

Host range and population structure of Xanthomonas citri pv. mangiferaeindicae : [P4-55] [PDF]
, 2010 #Xanthomonas citri# pv. #mangiferaeindicae# (Xcm) is a bacterium attacking two plant species of the anacardiaceae family : mango (#Mangifera indica#) and pepper tree (#Schinus terebinthifolius#), which is a pest frequently found bordering mango orchards.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Eilat virus displays a narrow mosquito vector range
Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Background Most alphaviruses are arthropod-borne and utilize mosquitoes as vectors for transmission to susceptible vertebrate hosts. This ability to infect both mosquitoes and vertebrates is essential for maintenance of most alphaviruses in nature.

Legume-Nodulating Betaproteobacteria: Diversity, Host Range, and Future Prospects
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2011 Rhizobia form specialized nodules on the roots of legumes (family Fabaceae) and fix nitrogen in exchange for carbon from the host plant. Although the majority of legumes form symbioses with members of genus Rhizobium and its relatives in class ...
