N2 fixation is linked to the ability to encroach in African savanna trees

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Encroachment is a globally ubiquitous phenomenon, characterised by increasing indigenous tree densities in savanna and grassland. Encroachment has been attributed to rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations fertilising tree growth and shifting the competitive balance ...

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Parallel evolution of highly conserved plastid genome architecture in red seaweeds and seed plants

BMC Biology, 2016
BackgroundThe red algae (Rhodophyta) diverged from the green algae and plants (Viridiplantae) over one billion years ago within the kingdom Archaeplastida.

UITOTO: a software for generating molecular diagnoses for species descriptions

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Millions of species remain undescribed, and each eventually will require a species description with a diagnosis. Yet, we lack software that can derive state‐specific and contrastive molecular diagnoses and allows the user to validate them based on all available sequences for the taxon under study. Here we introduce UITOTO, which addresses this

Phylogenetic reconciliation provides new insights into the evolutionary diversification of the glutamine synthetase gene family in seed plants

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phylogenetic analyses of glutamine synthetase (GS) in seed plants revealed that all three major evolutionary lineages (GS2, GS1a, and GS1b) must have been present in the common ancestor, with GS2 being the first lineage to diverge. Unlike GS1b, GS1a and GS2 are usually single‐copy genes, even though they underwent duplications that resulted in ...

Plant‐produced encapsulin displays non‐typhoidal Salmonella enterica antigens and assembles into mosaic nanoparticles

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential of encapsulin as an antigen display platform for the development of a candidate Salmonella vaccine for poultry. Encapsulin constructs were transiently expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana where they accumulated to high levels.

A Hanks‐type bacterial kinase, PknS, directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK to promote resistance to protist predation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The Xanthomonas citri Hanks‐type kinase PknS autophosphorylates and directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK at five residues. Besides the conserved residue T51 in the σ2 domain, phosphorylation of a residue in the linker between σ2 and σ4 is critical for EcfK activation by promoting its interaction with a positively charged pocket in ...

Phycocyanobilin biosynthesis in Galdieria sulphuraria requires isomerization of phycoerythrobilin synthesized by bilin reductases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The biosynthesis of bilins, tetrapyrroles essential for light harvesting and sensing, is performed by specific enzymes (FDBRs). In Galdieria sulphuraria, both phycobiliprotein types bind phycocyanobilin, despite lacking the canonical synthesizing gene PCYA. Instead, PEBA and PEBB are encoded, producing phycoerythrobilin, proposed to be later isomerized
