Structural analysis of a ligand‐triggered intermolecular disulfide switch in a major latex protein from opium poppy

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 80, Issue 9, Page 675-685, September 2024.
Crystal structures of two cysteine‐to‐serine mutants of PR10‐10 help to reveal how a ligand‐induced conformational change is coupled to the formation of intermolecular disulfide bonds in plant pathogenesis‐related family 10 proteins involved in the biosynthesis of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids.Several proteins from plant pathogenesis‐related family 10 ...

Strangers in a foreign land: ‘Yeastizing’ plant enzymes

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2024.
Many plant secondary metabolic enzymes need to be re‐engineered for optimal performance in yeast platforms due to poor adaptation to the foreign cellular environment. We highlight the challenges in ‘yeastizing’ plant enzymes and propose a data‐driven framework for learning the yeastizing rules from natural protein sequence variations.

Opium Price Shocks and Prescription Opioids in the USA*

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, Volume 86, Issue 3, Page 449-484, June 2024.
Abstract We investigate the effect of international opium price shocks on the per capita dispensation of prescription opioids in the USA. Using quarterly county‐level data for 2002q4–2016q4, three main results emerge. First, reductions in opium prices significantly increase the quantity of opioids prescribed, and more so in counties with a larger pre ...
