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 ...

Obtaining Usable Products by Processing Converter Flue Dust from Copper Production

Engineering Proceedings
Copper converter flue dust (CFD) is one of the solid wastes generated during the pyrometallurgical production of secondary copper. Due to its fine-grained character and its content of toxic heavy metals, CFD is classified as hazardous waste. CFD contains

Recycling Polarity [PDF]

Developmental Cell, 2005
Three current papers in Cell and in this issue of Developmental Cell highlight the role of the exocyst in recycling of membrane proteins from endosomes to the plasma membrane in asymmetric cell division and polarized epithelial cells.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Alternative fractional crystallization-based methods to produce high-purity aluminum

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2021
The increasing demand of ultra-high purity aluminum for technological applications has triggered the improvement of purification methods during the recent decades. Some of the most relevant applications for ultra-high purity aluminum include electrolytic

Recycling Paper Recycling

BioResources, 2014
What do you do after a product has served its function and is no longer needed? Ideally, you recycle it. What do you do if people have neglected or forgotten so much of what has been learned in recent years about paper recycling? Well, one of the things that someone can do is to write a book. Very little of the contents of such a book may be new.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Solid Oxide Fuel Cell with Anodes using Proton Conductor (Barium-Cerium/Yttrium Oxide)

Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2009
A new anode with a proton conductor (Barium-Cerium/Yttrium oxide (BCY): BaCe0.8Y0.2O3-δ) was proposed for a high-power, solid-oxide fuel cell. In the new anode, the proton-conducting material was included in a conventional anode made of nickel (Ni)

Cell surface interactome analysis identifies TSPAN4 as a negative regulator of PD‐L1 in melanoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using cell surface proximity biotinylation, we identified tetraspanin TSPAN4 within the PD‐L1 interactome of melanoma cells. TSPAN4 negatively regulates PD‐L1 expression and lateral mobility by limiting its interaction with CMTM6 and promoting PD‐L1 degradation.
