The Synergy Between a Silver‐Ruthenium Antimicrobial and Aminoglycosides Is Based on Severe Macromolecular Damage

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
AGXX enhances aminoglycoside activity against multidrug‐resistant pathogens such as uropathogenic Escherichia coli by increasing reactive oxygen species, causing protein aggregation and DNA damage. This effect is reduced by oxygen limitation or antioxidants. Polyphosphate protects cells from oxidative damage.

A Nutrient‐Responsive LuxR Regulator Orchestrates Effector Gene Expression Across the Legionella Genus

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
LexR1 is a LuxR‐type regulator that links nutrient sensing to effector gene expression in Legionella. Activated by a casamino acid‐derived ligand, LexR1 directly controls multiple effector genes using a conserved regulatory element present in numerous putative effectors across different Legionella species.

Staurosporine Targets Mitochondrial Regulator VdAtuA3 to Disrupt Mitochondrial Homeostasis to Control Verticillium Wilt

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondria serve as cellular powerhouses that generate ATP via electron transport chain complexes and orchestrate metabolism‐apoptosis cross‐talk, yet genes maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis remain underexplored as antifungal targets. In this study, a previously uncharacterised protein VdAtuA3 was identified as a novel interactor with ...

Bacteriophage P22 Virus‐Like Particles as Nanoscale Protein Scaffolds for Plant Synthetic Biology

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advancing the utility of plant synthetic biology requires the continued development of protein engineering tools. Self‐assembling protein compartments, such as virus‐like particles (VLPs), provide versatile scaffolds for synthetic biology. However, few plant‐expressed VLPs have demonstrated broad amenability to protein engineering, restricting

A Perspective of Soy Isoflavones on Analytical, Biological, and Chemical Attributes

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This review covers key aspects of soybean (Glycine max), with a particular focus on its isoflavone content and biological properties. Soybeans maintain their position as both a nutraceutical and a pharmaceutical crop, with a broad range of dietary items used worldwide, including soy milk, fermented soy products, and various dietary supplements.

Quaternary structures of Streptococcus pneumoniae nucleoside diphosphate kinase: From hexamers to supramolecular assemblies

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) is a key enzyme that controls the balance of nucleotide pools in all living organisms. Beyond this fundamental role, NDKs exert pleiotropic effects in many cellular processes, including cell development, signal transduction, differentiation, tumor metastasis, and gene expression. The quaternary structure

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0132c Gene Product Mtb‐FGD2 Can Act as an F420‐Dependent Glucose Dehydrogenase

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 9, Page 1610-1627, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...

Inducing Antigen‐Specific and Functional Immune Responses in Mice Toward Bovine Herpesvirus 1 and Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus by Chimeric Peptides Delivered by Bovine Herpesvirus 4‐Based Vector

open access: yesImmunology, Volume 179, Issue 1, Page 54-71, September 2026.
Bovine Alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV‐1) and Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) are major drivers of respiratory disease in cattle. (A) To target both pathogens, two chimeric antigens—membrane‐linked and secreted—combining BoHV‐1 glycoprotein D and BRSV fusion glycoprotein were designed and expressed using recombinant BoHV‐4‐based vectors.

NbRD21 protease controls receptor kinase homeostasis in Nicotiana benthamiana

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2741-2752, September 2026.
Proteomic analysis revealed that receptor kinases (red) accumulate higher in rd21 knockout Nicotiana benthamiana plants. Summary RD21‐like proteases are papain‐like cysteine proteases with a C‐terminal granulin domain that are abundant and ubiquitous in angiosperms and have often been implicated in immunity.
