Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Stability Analysis of a System of Exponential Difference Equations

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2014
We study the boundedness character and persistence, existence and uniqueness of positive equilibrium, local and global behavior, and rate of convergence of positive solutions of the following system of exponential difference equations: xn+1=(α1+β1e-xn ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

On Some Classes of Solvable Systems of Difference Equations

open access: yes, 2019
[[abstract]]In a recent paper several periodic systems of difference equations have been presented. We show in an elegant way that all the results therein follow from some known ones.

CALCULATION OF THERMODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICSOF THE ASCENDING SWIRLING FLOW WITH FIVE SOURCES OF HEATING

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Нефть и газ, 2017
Calculations of the thermodynamic characteristics of air flows were carried out when several local sources were heated by the underlying surface. The basic mathematical model is the complete system of Navier-Stokes equations with constant coefficients of

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Product-type system of difference equations of second-order solvable in closed form

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2015
This paper presents solutions of the following second-order system of difference equations $$x_{n+1}=\frac{y_n^a}{z_{n-1}^b},\qquad y_{n+1}=\frac{z_n^c}{x_{n-1}^d},\qquad z_{n+1}=\frac{x_n^f}{y_{n-1}^g},\qquad n\in N_0,$$ where $a,b,c,d,f,g\in Z$, and ...
