Differing structures of galactoglucomannan in eudicots and non-eudicot angiosperms

K. Ishida, Y. Ohba, Y. Yoshimi, L. F. Wilson, A. Echevarria-Poza, L. Yu, H. Iwai, P. Dupree

This paper investigates the structural differences of galactoglucomannan in eudicots and non-eudicot angiosperms, finding that {beta}-GGM is likely eudicot-specific.

Molecular evidence of chemical disguise by the socially parasitic spiny ant Polyrhachis lamellidens (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) when invading a host colony

H. Iwai, M. Mori, M. Tomita, N. Kono, K. Arakawa

This study shows that the spiny ant Polyrhachis lamellidens acquires host cuticular hydrocarbons through rubbing behavior to disguise itself and avoid aggression during colony invasion.

Convergent evolution of the Hedgehog/Intein fold in protein splicing

H. M. Beyer, S. I. Virtanen, A. S. Aranko, K. M. Mikula, G. T. Lountos, A. Wlodawer, O. H. S. Ollila, H. Iwai

The paper investigates the structural basis of protein splicing in class 3 inteins and proposes the HINT fold as an example of convergent evolution of an entire protein fold.

The crystal structure of the naturally split gp41-1 intein guides the engineering of orthogonal split inteins from a cis-splicing intein

H. M. Beyer, K. M. Mikula, M. Li, A. Wlodawer, H. Iwai

The paper determines the crystal structure of a split gp41-1 intein and uses it to engineer orthogonal split inteins from a cis-splicing intein.
