Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Signaling in Arabidopsis roots in response to beneficial rhizobacteria [PDF]
, 2012 Root colonization by selected strains of beneficial soil-resident bacteria is known to improve plant growth, influence root system architecture and trigger a systemic immune response that is effective against a broad range of pathogens, known as induced ...

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 ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Activation of plant immunity by microbial Nep1-like protein patterns [PDF]
, 2018 Plants can detect pathogens on the inside and outside of their cells. Two types of plasma membrane receptors are employed by plants to detect pathogens extracellularly: receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and receptor-like proteins (RLPs).

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

A comprehensive, multi-method dataset of plant-frugivore interactions in a Mediterranean hotspot
Scientific DataMutualistic plant-animal interactions for seed dispersal are crucial for vegetation dynamics, benefiting over half of the world’s plant species. Beyond the tropics, the Mediterranean biome harbors the highest proportion of species adapted to endozoochory,
