摘要:Biosynthesis of similar to 3000 monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs), including the anticancer drug vinblastine, involves the highly unstable intermediate strictosidine aglycone. Its formation by strictosidine beta-glucosidase (SGD) and subsequent conversion by geissoschizine synthase (GS) occur in spatially separated compartments, representing a major biosynthesis bottleneck. In this study, we discover VinBLAST, a cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase-like protein repurposed as a scaffold for effic...

摘要:Single-metal-atom chains (SMACs) represent the ultimate limit of one-dimensional nanostructures. They serve as archetypal model systems for condensed matter physics and constitute fundamental building blocks for next-generation nanoelectronics. However, synthesis of SMACs suitable for practical applications remains challenging. In this work, we create micrometer-long, carbon-sheathed copper SMACs at milligram scale by compressing beta-copper phthalocyanine to above 21 gigapascals. The SMACs ar...

摘要:Fluorescent proteins and small-molecule dyes offer complementary advantages for biological imaging: Proteins are amenable to genetic tagging, whereas dyes provide superior brightness and photostability. To combine these strengths, we used de novo protein design to generate small, nanomolar-affinity, high-selectivity binders (NovoTags) for three cell-permeable dyes spanning the visible spectrum. We show that the NovoTag fluorescent lifetimes can be tuned and demonstrate their application in lif...

摘要:Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) feature a branched chromatin architecture whose origin and function remain unknown. We found that NET branching is mediated by RAD51, a protein generating DNA junctions during DNA recombination repair. Pharmacological inhibition, RAD51 knockdown, or GEN1 and RuvC resolvase treatment reduced branching and destabilized NETs, whereas RAD51 up-regulation by different stimuli generated NETs with variable stability. RAD51 inhibition during murine pulmonary Asper...

摘要:Martian rocks are known to contain sulfur-bearing species, including sulfates and sulfides. These compounds record a sulfur cycle that operated over the geological evolution of Mars. We used the Curiosity rover to investigate a deposit of light-toned stones in Gediz Vallis within Gale crater on Mars and found that the stones are composed of native sulfur. The sulfur deposit appears to have formed in place, within a sinuous entrenched canyon cut into the floor of Gediz Vallis. The presence of n...
