Strong conservation of spacer lengths in NrdR repressor DNA binding sites

The paper investigates NrdR repressor DNA binding preferences across species, finding optimal spacer lengths between NrdR boxes for efficient binding.

Tertiary-interaction characters enable fast, model-based structural phylogenetics beyond the twilight zone

This paper uses tertiary-interaction characters to improve structural phylogenetics beyond the twilight zone, achieving accurate results with fast computation.

Activity modulation in anaerobic ribonucleotide reductases: nucleotide binding to the ATP-cone allosterically mediates substrate binding to the active site

This study investigates how ATP and dATP binding to the ATP-cone of anaerobic RNR from Prevotella copri modulates enzyme activity through structural and biochemical changes.

Taxon-specific shifts in bacterial and archaeal transcription of dissolved organic matter cycling genes in a stratified fjord

The paper analyzes bacterial and archaeal transcription in a stratified fjord to show depth-related shifts in gene expression for organic matter processing and nutrient cycling.

Divergent gene expression responses in two Baltic Sea heterotrophic model bacteria to dinoflagellate dissolved organic matter

This study compares gene expression responses of two Baltic Sea bacteria to dinoflagellate DOM, revealing distinct metabolic adaptations based on DOM source phase.

Fusion of a functional glutaredoxin to the radical-generating subunit of ribonucleotide reductase

This paper demonstrates that a fused glutaredoxin domain in F. ignava NrdB functions as a reductant for RNR via both dithiol and monothiol mechanisms, and shows the ATP-cone's role in regulating enzyme activity through dATP binding.

Metal-independent ribonucleotide reduction powered by a DOPA radical in Mycoplasma pathogens

The paper identifies a metal-independent ribonucleotide reductase in Mycoplasma pathogens that uses a DOPA radical for DNA synthesis, differing from conventional RNRs.
