An iron-sulfur cluster as a new metal centre in a flavodiiron protein

The paper identifies a [3Fe-4S]1+/0 iron-sulfur cluster in a Class E flavodiiron protein from Syntrophomonas wolfei, confirming its presence through spectroscopic analysis and structural prediction.

A G-lectin Receptor Kinase is a Negative Regulator of Arabidopsis Immunity Against Root-Knot Nematode Meloidogyne incognita

The paper identifies ERN1, a G-lectin receptor kinase, as a negative regulator of Arabidopsis immunity against root-knot nematodes by suppressing defense responses.

Multi-omics phenotyping of the gut-liver axis allows health risk predictability from in vivo subchronic toxicity tests of a low-dose pesticide mixture

The paper uses multi-omics analysis on pesticide-exposed rats to show metabolic and epigenetic changes in the gut-liver axis that predict health risks not detected by standard tests.

Shotgun metagenomics and metabolomics reveal glyphosate alters the gut microbiome of Sprague-Dawley rats by inhibiting the shikimate pathway

This study shows glyphosate inhibits the shikimate pathway in rat gut microbiota, altering microbial communities and metabolites, with potential health implications.

How thermophilic Gram-positive organisms perform extracellular electron transfer: characterization of the cell surface terminal reductase OcwA

This study characterizes the structure and function of OcwA, a terminal reductase in the thermophilic Gram-positive bacterium Thermincola potens JR, showing its ability to reduce both solid electron acceptors and soluble electron shuttles.
