Direct interaction between MreB and the RodA‐PBP2 complex organizes lateral cell wall synthesis in Escherichia coli

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract The elongasome, or the Rod complex, orchestrates lateral peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis in many rod‐shaped bacteria. It consists of the actin‐like protein MreB, the PG synthase RodA‐PBP2 complex, as well as MreCD and RodZ. Although the loss or disruption of any elongasome component results in a loss of rod shape, previous studies found that a ...

Deciphering the soybean root rot pathogen Phytophthora sojae: Signaling pathways, transcriptional regulation, and effector biology

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
This review highlights how Phytophthora sojae utilizes unconventional lineage‐specific signaling networks, including unique G protein‐coupled receptor fusions, expanded kinases, and rapidly evolving effectors, to infect soybeans. Understanding these divergent molecular paradigms reveals critical vulnerabilities in this destructive pathogen, offering ...

In Silico Structure‐Guided Design of Peptide Candidates Targeting γ‐Secretase Subunit Assembly

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The γ‐secretase complex is a membrane‐embedded protease essential for intramembrane cleavage of substrates such as Notch receptors and the amyloid precursor protein (APP), processes central to cancer progression and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology.

Structural Insights Into the Function of Leishmania major Adenylosuccinate Lyase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of several intriguing aspects of kinetoplastid biochemistry is the complete dependence on host purines and purine recycling due to the lack of a de novo purine biosynthesis pathway. Adenylosuccinate lyase (ASL, EC 4.3.2.2) is a key enzyme in the purine synthesis pathway responsible for the conversion of adenylosuccinate into adenosine ...

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Peptide‐Ligand Cooperative Interplay Drives Gold Nanoparticle Encapsulation by Protein Cages

Small, EarlyView.
Gold nanoparticle encapsulation within protein cages is governed by salt‐dependent binding energetics and cooperative peptide–ligand interactions. Ligands enhance electrostatic attraction while peptides extend recruitment and prevent kinetic trapping, enabling robust cargo loading. This molecular‐level insight links experiments and simulations, guiding
