Evolution of lysine and arginine biosynthesis revealed by substrate specificity of lysine biosynthetic enzymes in Thermus thermophilus

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Two enzymes from the Thermus thermophilus lysine biosynthetic pathway, LysZ and LysY, unexpectedly exhibit substrate promiscuity. They are able to recognize the LysW intermediates utilized by the ArgW‐mediated arginine route, even though the bacterium already possesses the canonical arginine biosynthetic pathway.

Distribution and activity of nitrate and nitrite reductases in the microbiota of the human intestinal tract

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Nitrate from food is first converted to nitrite by oral bacteria and then further processed in the intestine. The gut microbiota reduces nitrate and nitrite to ammonia or nitric oxide, preventing the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. Our analysis highlights Escherichia coli as a key player in this detoxification process, supported by other ...

SARS‐CoV‐2 nucleocapsid protein variants have differential RNA chaperone activity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The SARS‐CoV‐2 nucleocapsid (N) protein facilitates RNA annealing through its RBD–IDR2–CTD region, identifying it as a functional RNA chaperone. The Omicron BA.5 variant shows reduced chaperone activity compared to the Wuhan wild‐type protein. Although phosphorylation has no effect on wild‐type N, phosphomimetic modification of BA.5 N restores its RNA ...

Characterisation of a cold‐adapted, thermostable glucokinase from psychrophilic Pseudoalteromonas sp. AS‐131 reveals how the enzyme achieves high thermal stability without loss of cold adaptation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We investigated glucokinase from the psychrophilic Pseudoalteromonas sp. AS‐131 (PsGK), which was isolated from the Antarctic Ocean. Biochemical studies revealed that PsGK is a cold‐adapted enzyme with high thermal stability, in contrast to general cold‐adapted enzymes, which have low thermal stability.

A Hanks‐type bacterial kinase, PknS, directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK to promote resistance to protist predation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The Xanthomonas citri Hanks‐type kinase PknS autophosphorylates and directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK at five residues. Besides the conserved residue T51 in the σ2 domain, phosphorylation of a residue in the linker between σ2 and σ4 is critical for EcfK activation by promoting its interaction with a positively charged pocket in ...
