Temperature-dependent regulation of bacterial cell division hydrolases by the coordinated action of a regulatory RNA and the ClpXP protease [PDF]
The Cell SurfaceA defining feature of bacteria is the peptidoglycan cell wall which provides structural integrity and prevents osmotic lysis. While peptidoglycan hydrolases are required for daughter cell separation, dysregulated cell wall degradation may result in cell ...

Carbon quantum dots from silymarin extraction for multi-fluorescent sensors, photocatalysis, and anticancer activity applications [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn this work, water-soluble fluorescent carbon quantum dots were prepared by a one-stage hydrothermal method via a green synthesis route using silymarin extract from milk thistle seeds as a single precursor.

Development of a Temperature Senor Based on 19F-labeled Phosphorylated Ubiquitin
Chinese Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 2021 Ubiquitin (Ub) is a signaling protein in eukaryotic cells, and it functions in the processes of protein degradation and DNA repairing. The published data indicated that the phosphorylation of Ub on Ser65 leads to two stable solution conformations, which ...

OmpA, a Common Virulence Factor, Is Under RNA Thermometer Control in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The outer membrane protein OmpA is a virulence factor in many mammalian pathogens. In previous global RNA structure probing studies, we found evidence for a temperature-modulated RNA structure in the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of the Yersinia ...

Nature Communications, 2021 Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) form large spherical assemblies and their regulation is not well understood. Here, the authors provide insights into the mechanism of Hsp26 activation by characterising phospho-mimetic mutants of yeast Hsp26.

Phase Separation as a Molecular Thermosensor [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2020 How organisms sense temperature is a long-standing question. However, the identification of molecular thermosensors has been limited. Now, in a recent issue of Nature, Jung et al. demonstrate that phase separation of ELF3, a component of the circadian clock, acts as a thermosensor.

Molecules, 2022 The expression of genes of interest (GOI) can be initiated by providing external stimuli such as temperature shifts and light irradiation. The application of thermal or light stimuli triggers structural changes in stimuli-sensitive biomolecules within ...

A Prion-based Thermosensor in Plants [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2020 Some prion-like domains and low-complexity regions provide the multivalency required to facilitate protein phase separation to regulate protein function. Jung et al. (2020) demonstrate how natural selection of the ELF3 prion-like domain gives rise to an intuitive biological switch that directly responds to temperature.
