A Tale of Two Mechanisms: The p53 Modulator COTI‐2 Is a Zn Metallochaperone

open access: yesDrug Development Research, Volume 87, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mutations in, or misregulation of, Tp53 are found in approximately 50% of all cancers. p53 functions by ensuring that cells with irretrievably damaged DNA undergo apoptosis. Tp53 mutations often induce conformational changes that inhibit activity; however, small‐molecule chaperones could theoretically restore conformation and activity. COTI‐2,

Microbial Oxidative Stress in Food Fermentations: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yeseFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Oxidative stress has a dual role in food fermentations: low ROS supports adaptive signaling, whereas excessive ROS causes cellular damage and process inhibition. Managing redox state as a controllable process variable can improve fermentation robustness and final food quality.

Bioavailability of Metal Ions and Evolutionary Adaptation

open access: yesLife, 2012
The evolution of life on earth has been a long process that began nearly 3,5 x 109 years ago. In their initial moments, evolution was mainly influenced by anaerobic environments; with the rise of O2 and the corresponding change in bioavailability of ...

Experimental estimation of copper‐site geometry reproducibility in biologically relevant redox and saccharide‐bound states of a model lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 886-899, August 2026.
Small but measurable changes in the coordination geometry of a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase copper active site are revealed by X‐ray crystallography, providing structural insight into their catalytic flexibility.Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper‐dependent enzymes classified into the auxiliary activity (AA) families of the ...

Dose‐dependent structural and electron‐density features in the lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase NcAA9D

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 900-914, August 2026.
A series of 36 structures of the Neurospora crassa LPMO NcAA9D were refined against X‐ray crystal datasets collected with increasing dose from a single crystal to provide insights into dose‐dependent structural changes at the active site of the enzyme.

The essential nutrient elements in photosynthesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Photobiology
Essential plant nutrient elements are “eaten” along with light in the process of photosynthesis, primarily in the leaves. Two pigment-protein systems embedded in the thylakoid membrane, Photosystem I and Photosystem II, mediate light absorption ...

Catalysis-dependent selenium incorporation and migration in the nitrogenase active site iron-molybdenum cofactor

open access: yeseLife, 2015
Dinitrogen reduction in the biological nitrogen cycle is catalyzed by nitrogenase, a two-component metalloenzyme. Understanding of the transformation of the inert resting state of the active site FeMo-cofactor into an activated state capable of reducing ...

Endopeptidase Regulation as a Novel Function of the Zur-Dependent Zinc Starvation Response

open access: yesmBio, 2019
The cell wall is a strong, yet flexible, meshwork of peptidoglycan (PG) that gives a bacterium structural integrity. To accommodate a growing cell, the wall is remodeled by both PG synthesis and degradation.
