Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Natural polymers are promising sustainable materials for diverse applications. Xylans, major components of hemicellulose, exhibit origin‐dependent substitution patterns that determine their physicochemical properties. Targeted enzymatic modification of these substituents offers a mild and precise approach for tailoring the polymer's ...

Autoregulation ensures vertical transmission of the linear prophage GIL01
Communications BiologyBetatectiviruses are prophages consisting of linear extrachromosomal genomes without obvious plasmid modules. It remains unclear how betatectiviruses are maintained in low-copy numbers in host cells and how they are vertically transmitted. Phage GIL01 is

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Marine cone snails produce a diverse array of bioactive peptides, known as conotoxins, in their venom. Given their high target potency and specificity, conotoxins are attractive compounds for the development of precision research tools and pharmacological agents.

Optimal 1TEL–target protein linker character is target protein‐dependent
Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 516-532, May 2026.In this study, we examine the effect of short to medium‐length flexible, semi‐flexible and rigid linkers on the crystallization of a DARPin or the TNK1 UBA domain fused to the 1TEL protein crystallization chaperone, demonstrating that while rigid linkers can impair crystallization and reduce diffraction quality, the ideal linker character remains ...

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.bymBDZ accelerates early regrowth of persister‐derived E. coli and potentiates antibiotic killing. Its activity requires the MdtL–DcrB axis and is associated with envelope‐linked transport changes that increase intracellular small‐molecule exposure during recovery, thereby enhancing clearance in early treatment windows. ABSTRACT Persister cells survive

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2026.This study explores the impact of aging on regeneration of the mouse colonic epithelium. The authors find that old mice exhibit excessive and prolonged inflammation after infection with Citrobacter, resulting in the maintenance of a fetal regenerative state in epithelial cells, insufficient tissue repair, and death of the animal.

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT Euglenids are an important group of free‐living phototrophic, osmotrophic, or phagotrophic protists, with most of the phylogenetic diversity represented by phagotrophs. One major subgroup of phagotrophs is the petalomonads: rigid, often relatively small cells with few pellicle strips (usually 4–8).
