An ultra-fast, proteome-wide response to the plant hormone auxin

This study identifies an ultra-rapid auxin response system in Arabidopsis thaliana roots using phosphoproteomics, revealing over 1700 proteins modified within 30 seconds.

Assessment of infant outgrowth of cow's milk allergy in relation to the faecal microbiome and metaproteome

This study examines the relationship between the faecal microbiome and metaproteome and the outgrowth of cow's milk allergy in infants over 12 months.

Raw milk kefir: microbiota, bioactive peptides, and immune modulation.

This study characterizes the microbial and peptidomic composition of raw and heated milk kefir and shows that raw milk kefir suppresses allergic responses in mice.

Disentangling the lipid divide: Identification of key enzymes for the biosynthesis of unusual Membrane-spanning and Ether lipids in Bacteria

The paper identifies bacterial enzymes involved in producing ether-linked membrane-spanning lipids and shows that branched iso-fatty acids are their building blocks.

Manganese modulates metabolic activity and redox homeostasis in translationally-blocked Lactococcus cremoris, impacting metabolic persistence, cell-culturability, and flavor formation.

This study shows that manganese affects metabolic activity and redox balance in non-growing Lactococcus cremoris cells, influencing acidification rates and flavor compound formation.

Physiological roles of short-chain and long-chain menaquinones (vitamin K2) in Lactococcus cremoris

This study investigates the physiological roles of short-chain and long-chain menaquinones in Lactococcus cremoris by analyzing mutant strains with altered MK profiles under different growth conditions.

Impact of vitamin B12 on rhamnose metabolism, stress defense and in-vitro virulence of Listeria monocytogenes

This study shows that vitamin B12 enhances anaerobic growth and virulence of L. monocytogenes on rhamnose by activating the pdu BMC pathway and upregulating stress defense and virulence factors.

Impact of bacterial microcompartment-dependent ethanolamine and propanediol metabolism on Listeria monocytogenes interactions with Caco-2 cells

This study investigates how bacterial microcompartment-dependent ethanolamine and propanediol metabolism in Listeria monocytogenes affects its interaction with Caco-2 cells, finding enhanced translocation efficacy with active BMCs.

Glycine-Rich RNA-Binding Protein 7 interacts with and potentiates effector-induced immunity by Gpa2 and Rx1 based on an intact RNA Recognition Motif

This study identifies NbGRP7 as a novel RNA-binding protein that enhances immunity by interacting with Gpa2 and Rx1, regulating their function through an intact RNA recognition motif.

Anaerobic growth of Listeria monocytogenes on rhamnose is stimulated by Vitamin B12 and bacterial microcompartment dependent 1,2-propanediol utilization

This study shows that vitamin B12 activates the pdu pathway in L. monocytogenes, enabling anaerobic growth on rhamnose via 1,2-propanediol degradation and BMC formation.

Bacterial microcompartments linked to the flavin-based extracellular electron transfer drives anaerobic ethanolamine utilization in Listeria monocytogenes

This study shows that Listeria monocytogenes uses bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) for anaerobic ethanolamine catabolism, which is linked to flavin-based extracellular electron transfer to balance redox states.

Unravelling lactate-acetate conversion to butyrate by intestinal Anaerobutyricum and Anaerostipes species

This study identifies a gene cluster in Anaerobutyricum and Anaerostipes species that enables lactate and acetate conversion to butyrate, highlighting their adaptation for intestinal metabolism.
