Quaternary structures of Streptococcus pneumoniae nucleoside diphosphate kinase: From hexamers to supramolecular assemblies

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) is a key enzyme that controls the balance of nucleotide pools in all living organisms. Beyond this fundamental role, NDKs exert pleiotropic effects in many cellular processes, including cell development, signal transduction, differentiation, tumor metastasis, and gene expression. The quaternary structure

Soil Microbiome Predator Diversity Outperforms Nitrogen Addition in Boosting Plant Biomass via Bacterial Community Shifts

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Soil biodiversity may help reduce dependence on nitrogen fertilization, but experimental evidence remains limited. We tested how microbiome predator diversity (protists and nematodes) and nitrogen addition influence Cannabis sativa performance. Increasing microbiome predator diversity enhanced plant biomass by up to 60%, exceeding the effects of ...

Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor

open access: yesCytoskeleton, Volume 83, Issue 7, Page 457-465, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit
