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

In natural systems plant-insect interactions are influenced by several factors. For instance plants could be characterised by the presence of defensive chemicals and herbivores are forced to evolve resistance against them.

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

Modulation and Utilization of Host Cell Phosphoinositides by Salmonella spp [PDF]
Interactions between microbial pathogens and their hosts can be extremely complex. A good example is the facultative intracellular pathogen Salmonella enterica , which causes typhoid fever and gastroenteritis in humans.

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation
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.

Metabolic substrate utilization by tumour and host tissues in cancer cachexia [PDF]
Utilization of metabolic substrates in tumour and host tissues was determined in the presence or absence of two colonic tumours, the MAC16, which is capable of inducing cachexia in recipient animals, and the MAC13, which is of the same histological type, but without the effect on host body composition.

Recent studies have reported that salmonids and ayu Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis (Temminck and Schlegel, 1846), both of which are salmoniform fishes, serve as important hosts for Argulus coregoni Thorell, 1864. These studies found the parasite in the

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 ...

Complement Evasion: An Effective Strategy That Parasites Utilize to Survive in the Host [PDF]
Parasitic infections induce host immune responses that eliminate the invading parasites. However, parasites have evolved to develop many strategies to evade host immune attacks and survive in a hostile environment. The complement system acts as the first line of immune defense to eliminate the invading parasites by forming the membrane attack complex ...
