Catalytic Mechanism and Differential Alarmone Regulation of a Conserved Stringent Nucleosidase

René L. Bærentsen, Kristina Kronborg, Ditlev Egeskov Brodersen, Yong Everett Zhang

This study investigates how the alarmones ppGpp and pppGpp differentially regulate the nucleosidase PpnN in E. coli, revealing its role in bacterial survival under antibiotic stress and uncovering a conserved catalytic mechanism shared with plant cytokinin signaling proteins.

Evolutionary predisposition of NIN to function in nitrogen-fixing nodules

Jieyu Liu, Siqi Yan, Min Li, Defeng Shen, Michaela Tichá, René L. Bærentsen, Kasper R. Andersen, Floris Verbeek, Olga Kulikova, René Geurts, Ton Bisseling, Rik Huisman

The paper shows that non-symbiotic NIN orthologs can function in nodule initiation and infection, indicating NIN was predisposed for symbiosis before nodulation evolved.
