Characterization of the electron-accepting part of the organohalide respiration chain of Dehalobacter and Desulfitobacterium

Lorenzo Cimmino

Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial anaerobic process that use halogenated compounds, e.g. tetrachloroethene (PCE), as terminal electron acceptors. D. restrictus strain PER-K23, an obligate OHR bacterium (OHRB), and D. hafniense strain TCE1, a ba ...

Biological nanopores for single-molecule sensing

Matteo Dal Peraro, Chan Cao, Simon Finn Mayer

Evolution has found countless ways to transport material across cells and cellular compartments separated by membranes. Protein assemblies are the cornerstone for the formation of channels and pores that enable this regulated passage of molecules in and ou ...

Bringing Functional Context to Emerging Proximity-mapping Proteomics Tools

Yimon Aye

If one considers chemical-biology toolsets that have had the greatest impact on numerous fields of life sciences over the most recent years, proximity-labeling tools, such as APEX, and Bio-ID arguably lead the way. This article reflects upon the current st ...

Organohalide respiration: variations on a common theme

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Mathilde Stéphanie Willemin, Lorenzo Cimmino

Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial anaerobic respiratory metabolism that makes use of halogenated organic compounds as terminal electron acceptors. While organohalogens have been initially thought to be mainly from anthropogenic origin, thousand ...

Understanding and describing the dynamics of proteins is one of the major challenges in biology. Here, we use multifield variable-temperature NMR longitudinal relaxation (R-1) measurements to determine the hierarchical activation energies of motions of fou ...

AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021

The xanthophyll cycle is a regulatory mechanism operating in the photosynthetic apparatus of plants. It consists of the conversion of the xanthophyll pigment violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, and vice versa, in response to light intensity. According to the curre ...

Outer membrane lipoprotein NlpI scaffolds peptidoglycan hydrolases within multi-enzyme complexes in Escherichia coli

Ann-Kristin Hov

The peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus provides bacteria with the mechanical strength to maintain cell shape and resist osmotic stress. Enlargement of the mesh-like sacculus requires the combined activity of peptidoglycan synthases and hydrolases. In Escherichia ...

ORGANOHALIDE RESPIRATION: STUDY OF THE MEMBRANE PROTEIN COMPLEX RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REDUCTION OF HALOGENATED COMPOUNDS

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Adrian Schmid, Lorenzo Cimmino

Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial anaerobic respiratory process in which halogenated compounds are used as terminal electron acceptors. Desulfitobacterium and Dehalobacter, paradigmatic organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB), harbour the pceABC ...

ANAEROBIC BIODEGRADATION OF ORGANOHALIDE POLLUTANTS: A CRUCIAL STEP TOWARDS THE ELUCIDATION OF PROTEINS INVOLVED

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Adrian Schmid, Lorenzo Cimmino

Halogenated organic compounds (so-called organohalides) represent one of the major class of groundwater pollutants. The exploration of how organohalides are used as energy source is important in terms of ecosystem remediation but is also essential for the ...
