FEBS 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 ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
FEBS 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.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Investigating the characteristics of residential hot-water consumption: A worldwide review
Water ResearchResidential Hot-Water Consumption (HWC) is a key component of the water-energy nexus at the household scale, and its accurate characterization is crucial for developing effective and sustainable water and energy management strategies, as well as for reducing the environmental footprint of the built environment. However, current knowledge of residential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Effects Of Different Irrigation Amounts And Vermiculite Laying Modes On Poinsettia Water Consumption Characteristics And Water Use [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2016 International Conference on Advances in Energy, Environment and Chemical Science, 2016 Irrigation water use efficiency, Ornamental Abstract.Two irrigation treatments (W1,total irrigation amount was12L.W2,total irrigation amount was 6L) and three vermiculite laying methods (Z0, no vermiculite. Z2, vermiculite was laid on the surface of the pot.Z2, vermiculite was laid in the bottom of the pot) were designed in the trial.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
