From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Effectiveness of the Line Probe Assay Compared with Conventional Culture for Detecting Second-Line Anti-Tuberculosis Drug Resistance [PDF]

open access: yes
Drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB and rifampicin-resistant TB) is a major challenge in TB control in Indonesia. Rapid detection of second-line anti-TB drug resistance is crucial for timely initiation of therapy.

Chiral separation of chloroalkanes with the chromatographic column onboard Martian rovers

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Computer image of the Rosalind Franklin Rover of ESA's ExoMars mission. ExoMars is scheduled to land on planet Mars in Oxia Planum in 2029. This area represents an interesting spot to look for biosignatures. Investigations of ExoMars include measurement on molecular chirality. We show that chiral chloroalkanes, that have been identified on Mars, can be

The role of line probe assays in the Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra era

open access: yesJournal of Laboratory and Precision Medicine, 2017
Tuberculosis (TB) remains an important public health problem with an estimated 10.4 million new cases diagnosed in 2015 (1). Of these, approximately 4.3 million cases went undiagnosed or unreported, posing a major hurdle to the eradication of TB (1). The control of TB is further threatened by the HIV epidemic and the emergence and spread of multidrug ...

L‐aspartate oxidase provides new insights into fumarate reduction in anaerobic darkness in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Line Probe Assay for Improved Tuberculosis Diagnosis and Detection of Isoniazid and Rifamicin Resistance

open access: yes, 2015
Introduction: A sensitive, rapid and accurate laboratory diagnostic method is essential for detection of tuberculosis and its drug resistance. However, using conventional techniques for detection of acidfast bacilli and mutations conferring resistance ...
