Sedimentary biomarkers of human presence and taro cultivation reveal early horticulture in Remote Oceania

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Remote Oceania was among the last places settled by humans. However, the timing of initial human settlements and the early introduction of horticulture remain debated.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

A boost on the final stretch: intense river metabolism and wetland discharge increase aquatic CO2 dynamics in the Danube Delta [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences
Many river deltas are aquatic hot spots for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere. Their patchwork of wetlands, lakes, channels, and river reaches often complicates the analysis of CO2 sources such as ecosystem respiration or lateral water ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Temperature and nutrients control the presence and distribution of long-chain diols in Swiss lakes

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Long-chain diols are biomarkers commonly used in the marine realm to reconstruct several environmental parameters such as sea surface temperature and salinity.

Redox Zone and Trophic State as Drivers of Methane-Oxidizing Bacterial Abundance and Community Structure in Lake Sediments

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Eutrophication is expected to increase methane production in freshwater sediments worldwide over the coming decades. Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) consume a significant fraction of this sedimentary methane, but the factors that control their ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Remote Sensing of Sun-Induced Fluorescence in a Deep Lake: Disentangling Quenching Mechanisms Improves Relationship With Chlorophyll-a Concentration Estimates

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Sun-induced fluorescence (SIF) from phytoplankton has historically been used as a proxy for chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentration estimates in water bodies using optical earth observation data.
