A case study in model-driven synthetic biology [PDF]
, 2008 We report on a case study in synthetic biology, demonstrating the modeldriven design of a self-powering electrochemical biosensor. An essential result of the design process is a general template of a biosensor, which can be instantiated to be adapted ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cells must clear mislocalized or faulty proteins from membranes to survive. The AAA+ ATPase Msp1 performs this task, but dissecting how its six subunits work together is challenging. We engineered linked dimers with varied numbers of functional subunits to reveal how Msp1 subunits cooperate and use energy to extract proteins from the lipid bilayer ...

Spatial entropy drives the maintenance and dissemination of transferable plasmids
Molecular Systems BiologyThe dissemination of transferable plasmids, a major type of mobile genetic elements (MGEs), is one main driver of antibiotic resistance outbreaks. While the plasmid persistence condition in well-mixed environments has been extensively studied, most ...

Synthetic biology, inspired by synthetic chemistry
FEBS Letters, 2012 We like to give an overview about the developments in the field of synthetic biology, regarding polymer‐based analogs of cellular membranes and what questions can be answered by applying synthetic polymer science towards the smallest unit in life, namely a cell.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Metagenomic analysis reveals gut phage diversity across three mammalian models
MicrobiomeBackground The gut virome plays a pivotal role in shaping the host’s microbiota. However, gut viruses across different mammalian models, and their connections with the human gut microbiota remain largely unknown. Results We identified 977 high-confidence

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Engineering the cytochrome P450 to enhance parthenolide production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Synthetic and Systems BiotechnologyParthenolide is confirmed to be an important component of the anticancer drug—ACT001. However, parthenolide biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) was greatly hindered by the low conversion rate of its precursor, costunolide.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phototrophs evolved light‐harvesting systems adapted for efficient photon capture in habitats enriched in far‐red radiation. A subset of eukaryotic pigment‐binding proteins can absorb far‐red photons via low‐energy chlorophyll states known as red forms.
