FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Development of electromagnetic tweezers for single-molecule energetics of kinesin
Biophysics and PhysicobiologyOptical tweezers have enabled single-molecule measurements of kinesin mechanics and energetics but face challenges for in vivo applications due to photothermal effects and refractive-index-dependent force calibration.

POMPOMs: Cost-efficient polarity sensors for the MICE muon beamline [PDF]
, 2011 Copyright @ 2011 The AuthorsThe cooling effect in MICE (Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment) will be studied with both positive and negative muons, reversing the electrical input to the magnets by physically swapping over the power leads.

Cell, 2013 Establishing polarized surfaces enables cells to carry out specialized tasks. In this issue, Lee et al. present a mechanism for cell polarization in which localized peroxidases are used to position the Casparian strip, a diffusion barrier deposited between endodermal cells in plant roots.

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Molecules, 2019 Crystalline polar metallocenes are potentially useful active materials as piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, and multiferroics. Within density functional theory (DFT), we computed structural properties, energy differences for various phases, molecular configurations, and magnetic states, computed polarizations for different polar crystal structures, and ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

The coordination of cell growth during fission yeast mating requires Ras1-GTP hydrolysis [PDF]
, 2013 The spatial and temporal control of polarity is fundamental to the survival of all organisms. Cells define their polarity using highly conserved mechanisms that frequently rely upon the action of small GTPases, such as Ras and Cdc42.
