Rieske Iron–Sulfur Cluster Proteins From an Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidizer Suggest Unusual Energetics in Their Parent Rieske/Cytochrome b Complexes

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anaerobic ammonium‐oxidizing (anammox) bacteria employ a unique, hydrazine‐based pathway to obtain energy from nitrite and ammonium. These organisms possess distinct Rieske/cytochrome b complexes whose precise role in anammox metabolism remains unclear, but which have been proposed to include the generation of NAD(P)H.

Allosteric Regulation of RNA Affinity by Motif V‐VI Coupling in West Nile Virus NS3 Helicase

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rise of flaviviral diseases, including West Nile virus (WNV), presents a growing threat to global public health and underscores the urgent need for new therapeutic strategies. The non‐structural protein 3 helicase (NS3h) of the Orthoflavivirus genus, including WNV, is essential for viral replication and a promising antiviral target ...
