Unraveling diversity by isolating peptide sequences specific to distinct taxonomic groups

Abstract The identification of succinct, universal fingerprints that enable the characterization of individual taxonomies can reveal insights into trait development and can have widespread applications in pathogen diagnostics, human healthcare, ecology and the characterization of biomes.

Metagenomics unravel distinct taxonomic and functional diversities between terrestrial and aquatic biomes

iScience
Microbes in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems play crucial roles in driving ecosystem functions, but currently, there is a lack of comparison regarding their taxonomic and functional diversities. Here, we conducted a global analysis to investigate the disparities in microbial taxonomy and microbial-mediated biogeochemical cycles between terrestrial ...

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Sites and species contribution to the β-diversity of Odonata assemblages in Haiti: Implications for conservation

Global Ecology and Conservation
Understanding the ecological determinants of assemblage diversity in freshwater insects is of crucial importance for conservation biology and environmental management. This is particularly true in Haiti, where severe and ongoing environmental degradation

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...
