Investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti‐CRISPR function of AcrIIA13b protein

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Anti‐CRISPR protein AcrIIA13b inhibits CRISPR–Cas9 function by preventing target DNA engagement. The Cas9–sgRNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP) normally recognizes the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) duplex to initiate DNA cleavage. AcrIIA13b binding to the PAM‐interacting WED–PI domain blocks this recognition, leaving the target DNA intact.

Teleost‐specific ictacalcins exhibit similar structural organization, cation‐dependent activation, and transcriptional regulation as human S100 proteins

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Calcium‐binding S100 proteins are important mediators of inflammation in humans. Distant members of this family have been recently discovered in teleost fish but their resemblance to human proteins has not been explored yet. This study demonstrates that zebrafish‐specific S100i1 and S100i2 (ictacalcins) possess identical structural organization and ...

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

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Comparative evaluation of noncanonical amino acids as site‐specific NMR probes for the complex of E. coli SSB with single‐stranded DNA without isotope labelling

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Genetic encoding of noncanonical amino acids (ncAA) enables their site‐specific installation in proteins. This work compares the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) performance of different ncAAs in a large protein−DNA complex (~ 100 kDa) without isotope labelling. The ncAAs deliver readily detectable NMR signals in the complex between E.

A matheuristic for the traveling salesman problem with positional consistency constraints

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose a matheuristic for the traveling salesman problem with positional consistency constraints, where we seek to generate a set of routes with minimum total cost, in which the nodes visited in more than one route (consistent nodes) must occupy the same relative position in all routes.

Deep learning assisted high‐resolution microscopy image processing for phase segmentation in functional composite materials

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract In the domain of battery research, the processing of high‐resolution microscopy images is a challenging task, as it involves dealing with complex images and requires a prior understanding of the components involved. The utilisation of deep learning methodologies for image analysis has attracted considerable interest in recent years, with ...
