A qPCR method to quantify bioavailable phosphorus using indigenous aquatic species

Environmental Sciences Europe, 2018
Background Bioavailable phosphorus (BAP) represents the sum of phosphorus that is readily available for algae growth and is useful to indicate the severity of eutrophication in aquatic environments. Results Here, a quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR)-based

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Microglial dynamics and ferroptosis induction in human iPSC‐derived neuron–astrocyte–microglia tri‐cultures

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
A tri‐culture of iPSC‐derived neurons, astrocytes, and microglia treated with ferroptosis inducers as an Induced ferroptosis model was characterized by scRNA‐seq, cell survival, and cytokine release assays. This analysis revealed diverse microglial transcriptomic changes, indicating that the system captures key aspects of the complex cellular ...

Vesicle reuse revisited [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005
Neurons communicate at the synapse by releasing neurotransmitter from synaptic vesicles. After exocytosis, synaptic vesicle membrane and protein are locally recycled for reuse in the presynaptic terminal. The mechanisms involved in the recycling of synaptic vesicle material have yet to be fully resolved (reviewed in ref. 1).

Common themes and unique proteins for the uptake and trafficking of nickel, a metal essential for the virulence of Helicobacter pylori

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
Nickel is a virulence determinant for the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. Indeed, H. pylori possesses two nickel-enzymes that are essential for in vivo colonization, [NiFe] hydrogenase and urease, an abundant virulence factor that contains 24

Meta‐analysis fails to show any correlation between protein abundance and ubiquitination changes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We analyzed over 50 published proteomics datasets to explore the relationship between protein levels and ubiquitination changes across multiple experimental conditions and biological systems. Although ubiquitination is often associated with protein degradation, our analysis shows that changes in ubiquitination do not globally correlate with changes in ...
