Encapsulation in a bacterial microcompartment shell improves thermal stability of a glycolytic enzyme

Nicholas M. Tefft, Neetu S. Yadav, Megan C Gruenberg Cross, Charles D Swiggett, Kristin N. Parent, Josh V. Vermaas, Michaela A. TerAvest

This study shows that encapsulating the enzyme TPI in HO BMC shells improves its thermal stability up to 62°C.

Structures of two LarA-like nickel-pincer nucleotide cofactor-utilizing enzymes with a single catalytic histidine residue

Santhosh Gatreddi, Sundharraman Subramanian, Dexin Sui, Tianqi Wang, Julian Urdiain‐Arraiza, Benoît Desguin, Robert P. Hausinger, Kristin N. Parent, Jian Ping Hu

The paper investigates two LarA-like enzymes lacking a catalytic histidine residue, solving their structures and revealing a novel octameric assembly and active site residues involved in carbohydrate metabolism.

Measuring the selective packaging of RNA molecules by viral coat proteins in cells

Amineh Rastandeh, Nino Makasarashvili, Herman K. Dhaliwal, Sherry Baker, Sundharraman Subramanian, Daniel A. Villarreal, Elmer I. Gamez, Kristin N. Parent, Rees F. Garmann

This study investigates how bacteriophage MS2 coat proteins selectively package viral RNA over host RNA, finding that selectivity arises from collective interactions rather than a single stem-loop.
