Double blocking of carbon metabolism causes a large increase of Calvin–Benson cycle compounds in cyanobacteria
Carbon-flow-regulator A (CfrA) adapts carbon flux to nitrogen conditions in nondiazotrophic cyanobacteria. Under nitrogen deficiency, CfrA leads to the storage of excess carbon, which cannot combine with nitrogen, mainly as glycogen. cfrA overexpression from the...
Catalytic Atroposelective Synthesis of C−N Axially Chiral Aminophosphines via Dynamic Kinetic Resolution
A ruthenium-catalyzed reductive amination via asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) has been used to perform an efficient dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of N-aryl 2-formyl pyrroles decorated with a phosphine moiety positioned at the ortho’ position. The strategy...
Phosphorylation at the disordered N-end makes HuR accumulate and dimerize in the cytoplasm
Human antigen R (HuR) is an RNA binding protein mainly involved in maintaining the stability and controlling the translation of mRNAs, critical for immune response, cell survival, proliferation and apoptosis. Although HuR is a nuclear protein, its mRNA...
Speeding-up the Determination of Protein-Ligand Affinities by STD NMR: The Reduced Dataset STD NMR Approach (rd-STD NMR)
STD NMR spectroscopy is a powerful ligand-observed NMR tool for screening and characterizing the interactions of small molecules and low molecular weight fragments with a given macromolecule, identifying the main intermolecular contacts in the bound state. It is also...
Emerging nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria for sustainable cotton cultivation
Amid growing environmental concerns and the imperative for sustainable agricultural practices, this study examines the potential of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria as biofertilizers, particularly in cotton cultivation. The reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers...
