Novel anti-repression mechanism of H-NS proteins by a phage "early protein".

F. Ben Bdira, L. Qing, A. N. Volkov, A. M. Lippa, A. M. Erkelens, N. Bowring, A. L. Boyle, M. Ubbink, S. L. Dove, R. T. Dame

This study identifies how phage gp4 modulates H-NS protein MvaT by stabilizing its half-open conformation, relieving gene silencing and affecting P. aeruginosa growth.

Tuning the transglycosylation reaction of a GH11 xylanase by a delicate enhancement of its thumb flexibility

K. Marneth, H. van den Elst, A. Cramer-Blok, J. D. C. Codee, H. S. Overkleeft, H. M. F. G. Aerts, M. Ubbink, F. Ben Bdira

This study modifies a GH11 xylanase to enhance transglycosylation by increasing thumb flexibility through a point mutation, altering its enzymatic balance and dynamics.

Catalysis by a rigid enzyme

F. Ben Bdira, C. A. Waudby, A. N. Volkov, S. Schroder, E. AB, J. Codee, H. S. Overkleeft, H. Aerts, H. van Ingen, M. Ubbink

The paper shows that the rigid xylanase enzyme uses substrate flexibility to facilitate catalysis without significant structural changes.

Structural basis for osmotic regulation of the DNA binding properties of H-NS proteins

L. Qin, F. Ben Bdira, Y. G. J. Sterckx, A. N. Volkov, J. Vreede, G. Giachin, P. van Schaik, M. Ubbink, R. T. Dame

This study identifies the molecular mechanism by which H-NS proteins switch DNA binding states in response to osmotic changes, showing that ionic strength affects electrostatic interactions between domains.
