Phylogenetic reconciliation provides new insights into the evolutionary diversification of the glutamine synthetase gene family in seed plants

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phylogenetic analyses of glutamine synthetase (GS) in seed plants revealed that all three major evolutionary lineages (GS2, GS1a, and GS1b) must have been present in the common ancestor, with GS2 being the first lineage to diverge. Unlike GS1b, GS1a and GS2 are usually single‐copy genes, even though they underwent duplications that resulted in ...

Exploring the influence of lid region residues on fatty acid selectivity in a lipase originating from Rhizopus oryzae

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Lipases are vital in modifying lipid substrates across industries such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Among their features, fatty acid selectivity is particularly important for industrial applications. Rhizopus oryzae lipase (ROL) stands out for its high selectivity and broad applicability.

TbTim20 facilitates protein import at a low membrane potential in trypanosomes lacking the mitochondrial genome

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Protein import into mitochondria relies on TIM complexes and the membrane potential. Trypanosoma brucei has a unique TIM complex, and the role of one subunit, TbTim20, has remained unclear. Here, we show that TbTim20 is essential in cells lacking mitochondrial DNA. The importance of TbTim20 increases as the membrane potential decreases.

Artificial lipidation of proteins and peptides: from mechanism to clinical applications

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Artificial lipidation transforms protein and peptide therapeutics by attaching fatty acid chains through reversible or permanent chemical strategies. This biomimetic approach delivers four key therapeutic advantages: extended circulation times (enabling weekly instead of daily dosing), alternative administration routes including oral delivery, precise ...

Characterisation of a phylogenetically distinct PL25 family ulvan lyase from a seaweed biomass enriched metagenome

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Ulvan is a polysaccharide available from green seaweed with beneficial properties for various applications. The full potential of ulvan requires enzymatic degradation of the polymer, thus producing ulvan oligosaccharides. This study expands the armoury of characterised ulvan lyases.

Streaming potential analysis of hair variation: Ethnicities and environmental exposures

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Ethnicity and weathering shape electrokinetic behaviour and particle deposition in hair. ζ‐potential magnitudes ranked Caucasian > Indian > Chinese with no significant root‐tip variations. Deposition patterns generally correlate with ζ‐potential but differ by ethnicity, implicating other factors.

Electrokinetic analysis reveals common conditioner ingredient interactions with human hair

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Novel electrokinetic analysis reveals how cationic surfactant deposition on hair is influenced by chain length and counterion mobility. Longer‐chain surfactants show superior adsorption through enhanced van der Waals interactions, while chloride counterions enable stronger electrostatic interactions.
