Dynamics of lipids in the yeast lipid droplets

M. Fomina, E. Mamontov, H. O'Neill, D. Close, J. Borreguero, J. Morrell-Falvey

This study investigates lipid dynamics in yeast lipid droplets using neutron scattering and mass spectrometry, finding that their phase remains fluid at lower temperatures compared to synthetic membranes.

Protoplast fusion in Bacillus species produces frequent, unbiased, genome-wide homologous recombination

L. Burdick, J. Streich, D. Vasileva, D. M. Klingeman, H. Chhetri, J. Ellis, D. Close, D. Jacobson, J. K. Michener

This study uses protoplast fusion in Bacillus species to show genome-wide, unbiased homologous recombination without recombination hotspots or genetic distance effects.

Horizontal transfer of a pathway for coumarate catabolism unexpectedly inhibits purine nucleotide biosynthesis

D. Close, S. Cooper, X. Wang, R. J. Giannone, N. L. Engle, T. J. Tschaplinski, L. Hedstrom, J. M. Parks, J. K. Michener

The paper shows that horizontal transfer of coumarate catabolism pathways into E. coli requires host mutations to function, as intermediates inhibit purine biosynthesis, and some mutations are already present in the native host.
