Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Creation of a eukaryotic multiplexed site-specific inversion system and its application for metabolic engineering

open access: yesNature Communications
The site-specific recombination system is a versatile tool in genome engineering, enabling controlled DNA inversion or deletion at specific sites to generate genetic diversity.

Construction of microbial systems for polyethylene terephthalate degradation

open access: yesSynthetic and Systems Biotechnology
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most widely used plastic materials, and its large-scale application has caused severe environmental pollution.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Kinetic modeling of multiple-strain artificial consortium to improve fengycin production of Bacillus subtilis

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts
Background Artificial microbial consortium has been widely employed to improve the production of fengycin, a natural lipopeptide. Kinetic models are essential for understanding and predicting the dynamic behavior of metabolic systems, especially ...

Multilevel Regulation of Peptidoglycan Dynamics in Bacteria: From Molecular Mechanisms to Applied Perspectives

open access: yesBiomolecules
Peptidoglycan, a crucial constituent of the bacterial cell envelope, is essential for maintaining cellular integrity and morphology. Elucidating the regulatory processes that coordinate its biosynthesis and turnover not only addresses a fundamental ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Translational synthetic biology [PDF]

open access: yesSystems and Synthetic Biology, 2015
Synthetic biology is a recent scientific approach towards engineering biological systems from both pre-existing and novel parts. The aim is to introduce computational aided design approach in biology leading to rapid delivery of useful applications. Though the term reprogramming has been frequently used in the synthetic biology community, currently the

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.
