Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a major marine organosulfur compound central to climate‐relevant dimethyl sulfide (DMS) production. In Halomonas sp. D47, DMSP catabolism is revealed to be coordinated by two transcriptional regulators, AcuR and AcuZ, which control gene expression by sensing DMSP and its metabolites.

Engineered biosynthesis of bacteriochlorophyll b in Rhodobacter sphaeroides [PDF]
Bacteriochlorophyll b has the most red-shifted absorbance maximum of all naturally occurring photopigments. It has a characteristic ethylidene group at the C8 position in place of the more common ethyl group, the product of a C8-vinyl reductase, which is carried by the majority of chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls used in photosynthesis.

DksA is a global regulatory protein that, together with the alarmone ppGpp, is required for the “stringent response” to nutrient starvation in the gammaproteobacterium Escherichia coli and for more moderate shifts between growth conditions.

Biomimetic Cell Membrane‐Coated MOFs System for Targeted Cancer Therapy
Biomimetic MOF‐based drug delivery nanoplatforms synthesized using liposomes or cell membranes as camouflage for multiple cancer therapeutics. ABSTRACT The integration of metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) with cell membrane coatings has emerged as a revolutionary strategy to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of cancer nanomedicine.

The Lipoprotein and Peptidoglycan of Rhodobacter sphaeroides
The lipoprotein-peptidoglycan complex (rigid layer) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides was isolated. Treatment of the complex with N.O-diacetyl-muramidase cleaved off from the rigid layer the lipoprotein moiety with covalently bound peptidoglycan-fragments.

Stringency in the absence of ppGpp accumulation in Rhodobacter sphaeroides [PDF]
Leucine deprivation of either phototrophically or chemotrophically growing cells of Rhodobacter sphaeroides resulted in a restriction in the continued accumulations of cellular RNA, phospholipids, and protein. Phototrophically growing cells also displayed restrictions in the accumulations of cellular carotenoids and bacteriochlorophyll.

Control of Photosystem Formation in Rhodobacter sphaeroides [PDF]
Rhodobacter sphaeroides has the capacity to grow by aerobic and anaerobic respiration and photosynthetically in the light under anaerobic conditions, as well as fermentatively. It can fix atmospheric nitrogen and carbon dioxide. It resembles other gram-negative members of the class Proteobacteria when growing aerobically, but a reduction in oxygen ...

Bacterial Cellulose Synthase Catalyzes the Formation of Chitin
Recombinant BcsA‐B from Rhodobacter sphaeroides is shown to cleave UDP‐GlcNAc (uridine diphosphate N‐acetylglucosamine), generating chitin with distinct β‐chitin Raman bands. These findings reveal that a cellulose synthase can process an alternative nucleotide sugar, providing biochemical evidence for the co‐synthesis of cellulose and chitin.

Hyaluronic acid‐modified bimetallic peroxide nanocomposites (MgO2‐CuO2@HA) are designed for synergistic tumor therapy. The nanocomposites release Mg2+, H2O2, and Cu2+ in tumor cells, induce cuproptosis via Cu+‐mediated protein aggregation, and activate pyroptosis through caspase‐1/gasdermin D pathways for inducing immunogenic cell death, collectively ...
