Molecular dynamics simulation-based investigation of LexA-DNA interaction: affinity-dependent conformational changes and implications for DNA looping

A. Schultze, M. A. Oeztuerk

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to examine how LexA binding motif affinity affects DNA conformational changes and bending, revealing structural insights into DNA looping mechanisms.

An inducible AraC that responds to blue light instead of arabinose

E. Romano, A. Baumschlager, E. B. Akmeric, N. Palanisamy, M. Houmani, G. Schmidt, M. A. Oeztuerk, L. Ernst, M. Khammash, B. Di Ventura

This paper introduces BLADE, a blue light-inducible AraC variant in E. coli that enables reversible control of gene expression and morphology, and uses it to study gene function and create bacteriographs.

Experimental characterization of in silico red-shift predicted iLOVL470T/Q489K and iLOVV392K/F410V/A426S mutants

P. Wehler, D. Armbruster, A. Guenter, E. Schleicher, B. Di Ventura, M. A. Oeztuerk

The paper experimentally tests two computationally predicted red-shifted iLOV mutants, finding they have reduced brightness, blue shifts, and low expression, limiting their imaging utility.

DNA-sequence dependent positioning of the linker histone in a nucleosome: a single-pair FRET study

M. De, M. A. Oeztuerk, S. Isbaner, K. Toth, R. C. Wade

This paper uses single-pair FRET to show that the linker histone H1.0b binds on-dyad to A-tract DNA via minor groove recognition, revealing a new mechanism for AT-rich DNA binding.

The active repertoire of Escherichia coli peptidoglycan amidases varies with physiochemical environment

E. A. Mueller, A. G. Iken, M. A. Oeztuerk, M. Schmitz, B. Di Ventura, P. A. Levin

This study identifies pH-dependent activity of E. coli amidases AmiB and AmiC, mediated by EnvC, NlpD, and YgeR, revealing non-redundant roles in cell separation.
