Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Crystal structures of [Mn(bdc)(Hspar)2(H2O)0.25]·2H2O containing MnO6+1 capped trigonal prisms and [Cu(Hspar)2](bdc)·2H2O containing CuO4 squares (Hspar = sparfloxacin and bdc = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate)

Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2016
The syntheses and crystal structures of 0.25-aqua(benzene-1,4-dicarboxylato-κ2O,O′)bis(sparfloxacin-κ2O,O′)manganese(II) dihydrate, [Mn(C8H4O4)(C19H22F2N4O3)2(H2O)0.25]·2H2O or [Mn(bdc)(Hspar)2(H2O)0.25]·2H2O, (I), and bis(sparfloxacin-κ2O,O′)copper(II ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

trans-2,5-Dimethylpiperazine-1,4-diium bis(perchlorate) dihydrate: crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis

Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2016
The asymmetric unit of the title hydrated molecular salt, C6H16N22+·2ClO4−·2H2O, contains a half dication (completed by inversion symmetry), a perchlorate anion and a water molecule.

Identification and characterization of a gene conferring stress resistance in Escherichia coli and cyanobacteria. [PDF]

FEBS Open Bio
Functional screening identified PcSyn14890, a cyanobacteria‐specific protein that enhances growth and stress resistance in E. coli and Synechocystis PCC6803. Although we expected it to function as a molecular chaperone, it was unable to protect against thermal aggregation of GAPDH.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Crystal structure of 2-amino-5-nitropyridinium sulfamate

Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2015
The title molecular salt, C5H6N3O2+ ·H2NO3S−, was obtained from the reaction of sulfamic acid with 2-amino-5-nitropyridine. A proton transfer from sulfamic acid to the pyridine N atom occurred, resulting in the formation of a salt.

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

Crystal structures of the 1:1 salts of 2-amino-4-nitrobenzoate with each of (2-hydroxyethyl)dimethylazanium, tert-butyl(2-hydroxyethyl)azanium and 1,3-dihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)propan-2-aminium

Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2018
The crystal and molecular structures of the title molecular salts, C4H12NO+·C7H5N2O4−, (I), C6H16NO+·C7H5N2O4−, (II), and C4H12NO3+·C7H5N2O4−, (III), are described.
