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.

Practical recommendations for hyperspectral and thermal proximal disease sensing in potato and leek fields [PDF]
, 2020 Thermal and hyperspectral proximal disease sensing are valuable tools towards increasing pesticide use efficiency. However, some practical aspects of the implementation of these sensors remain poorly understood.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

Monitoring Strawberry Plants’ Growth in Soil Amended with Biochar
AgriEngineeringThis study evaluated the impact of biochar on the growth of strawberry plants, combining visual and proximal sensing monitoring. The plants were rooted in soil enriched with biochar, derived from pyrolysis of soft wood at 550 °C and applied in two doses (

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Proximal Sensing of Plant Diseases
, 2014 Proximal sensing techniques have a large potential in surveying crops for the occurrence of diseases varying in spatial and temporal distribution within crops. Incidence of plant diseases results from crop status, the presence of inoculum, and suitable abiotic environmental factors, and often is heterogeneous in the field. Various technical sensors may

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.
