Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Effects of three strength training methods on lower extremity strength, jump and sprint performance: a network meta-analysis

Frontiers in Physiology
BackgroundWeightlifting (WT) and Plyometric training (PT) may lead to comparable enhancements in strength, jump, and sprint performance. However, these two training modalities appear to differ significantly in their primary focus and underlying ...

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.

The Effect of Intra-Abdominal Pressure on Lower-Body Power in College Baseball Pitchers: An Exploratory Study

Biomechanics
Background/Objectives: Baseball pitching injuries associated with fatigue-induced mechanisms may be attributed to change in lower-body power. In this study, a stretch-resistant belt (theorized to increase intra-abdominal pressure) was studied to ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Developmental Differences in Morphological Predictors of Power, Change-of-Direction Speed, and Reactive Agility in Youth Male Basketball Players

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology
Background: Morphological characteristics influence physical performance in youth basketball, but their effects may differ by developmental stage. This study compared the predictive role of morphological variables on motor performance between U13 and U15

ABL kinase‐dependent phosphorylation of SH proteins promotes their direct interaction with CRK family SH2 domains

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

Effect of lower-body plyometric training on athletic performance and muscle–tendon properties

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2014
Lower-body plyometric exercises are jumping-type exercises that use an individual’s body weight or a relatively low external load as resistance. In various sports training regimens, lower-body plyometric training is used to improve athletic performance ...
