The MarR-Type Repressor MhqR Confers Quinone and Antimicrobial Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Aims: Quinone compounds are electron carriers and have antimicrobial and toxic properties due to their mode of actions as electrophiles and oxidants.

Single‐cell and transcriptomics from 1.79 million cells identify the forestomach epithelium as the dominant site of antioxidant activity and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in the bovine gastrointestinal tract. Along the basal‐to‐luminal differentiation axis, antioxidant capacity and OXPHOS rise in a coordinated metabolic–redox gradient.

Functional Characterization of the Eukaryotic Cysteine Desulfurase Nfs1p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Previous studies have indicated that the essential protein Nfs1 performs a crucial role in cellular iron-sulfur (Fe/S) protein maturation. The protein is located predominantly in mitochondria, yet low amounts are present in cytosol and nucleus.

ThiF‐Like Enzyme Chemistry in Primary and Secondary Metabolism
ThiF‐like enzymes are a widespread protein family found in disparate biosynthetic pathways. They are unified by their use of an NTP to modify a carboxylate, generating an activated species prone to nucleophilic addition. This common intermediate is then targeted by diverse nucleophiles, including persulfide or amino acid side chains, to yield a variety

Hydrogen sulfide promotes lateral root formation in peach through persulfidation of SnRK1α kinase
Summary Root development is crucial for the growth and yield of horticultural crops. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an important gasotransmitter, has been shown to regulate lateral root (LR) formation in plants, including peach (Prunus persica). However, its specific regulatory mechanism remains largely unclear.

The Role of Bacillithiol in Gram-Positive Firmicutes [PDF]
Significance: Since the discovery and structural characterization of bacillithiol (BSH), the biochemical functions of BSH-biosynthesis enzymes (BshA/B/C) and BSH-dependent detoxification enzymes (FosB, Bst, GlxA/B) have been explored in Bacillus and ...

Cytosolic Fe-S cluster protein maturation and iron regulation are independent of the mitochondrial Erv1/Mia40 import system [PDF]
The sulfhydryl oxidase Erv1 partners with the oxidoreductase Mia40 to import cysteine-rich proteins in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Erv1 has also been implicated in cytosolic Fe-S protein maturation and iron ...
