The impact of metabolism on the adaptation of organisms to environmental change
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Since Jacob and Monod’s discovery of the lac operon ∼1960, the explanations offered for most metabolic adaptations have been genetic. The focus has been on the adaptive changes in gene expression that occur, which are often referred to as “metabolic ...

Hydrogen Evolution via Oxygen Tolerant [NiFe]‐Hydrogenase Immobilized on TiO2 Nanotubes
Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.Hydrogenase‐immobilized TiO2 nanotube was developed by the electropolymerization of polypyrrole and hydrogenase drop‐casting, and cathodic current is reported. Hydrogenase was extracted from E. coli, which can be more oxygen tolerant than the previous hydrogenase electrode.

The essential yhcSR two-component signal transduction system directly regulates the lac and opuCABCD operons of Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Our previous studies suggested that the essential two-component signal transduction system, YhcSR, regulates the opuCABCD operon at the transcriptional level, and the Pspac-driven opuCABCD partially complements the lethal effects of yhcS antisense RNA ...

Transcriptional control of the H-NS antagonists LeuO and RcsB-BglJ in Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2012 The bacterial nucleoid-associated protein (NAP) H-NS is involved in the organization and compaction of the bacterial chromatin and acts as a global respressor, mainly of genes that have been acquired by horizontal gene transfer and that are related to ...

Laccases from lactic acid bacteria show cuprous oxidase activity and capture Cu(II) and Ag(I) ions
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Several laccases derived from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) display specific structural features, such as two methionine residues at the entrance of the T1Cu center, and an extended C‐terminal end enriched in methionine and histidine. To investigate their functional roles, we engineered mutant variants of the laccase Pp4816 from Pediococcus ...
