Proline isomerization modulates the bacterial IsdB/hemoglobin interaction: an atomic force spectroscopy study by Francesca Pancrazi, Omar De Bei, Francesco Lavecchia di Tocco, Marialaura Marchetti, Barbara Campanini, Salvatore Cannistraro, Stefano Bettati, Anna Rita Bizzarri

“…Here, we show that the single point mutation of Pro173 in the IsdB domain responsible for Hb binding, which weakens the IsdB:Hb interaction without hampering heme extraction, totally abolishes the previously observed behavior. Remarkably, Pro173 does not directly interact with Hb, but undergoes cis–trans isomerization upon IsdB:Hb complex formation, coupled to folding-upon binding of the corresponding protein loop. …”

Multiple Roles of the Y Chromosome in the Biology of Drosophila melanogaster by Roberto Piergentili

“…Nonetheless, a more accurate analysis reveals that this chromosome can influence several complex phenotypes: (1) it has a role in the fertility of both sexes and viability of males when over-represented; (2) it can unbalance the intracellular nucleotide pool; (3) it can interfere with the gene expression either by recruiting proteins involved in chromatin remodeling (PEV) or, to a higher extent, by influencing the expression of up to 1,000 different genes, probably by changing the availability of transcription factors; (4) it plays a major role (up to 50%) in the resistance to heat-induced male sterility; (5) it affects the behavior; and (6) it plays a role in genetic imprinting. …”

Time-resolved spectroscopy uncovers deprotonation-induced reconstruction in oxygen-evolution NiFe-based (oxy)hydroxides by Dan Wu, Longfei Hu, Xiaokang Liu, Tong Liu, Xiangyu Zhu, Qiquan Luo, Huijuan Zhang, Linlin Cao, Jinlong Yang, Zheng Jiang, Tao Yao

“…Our findings demonstrate that iron substitution promotes deprotonation process within NiFe LDH, resulting in the preferential removal of protons from the specific bridged hydroxyl group (Ni2+-OH-Fe3+) linked to edge-sharing [NiO6] and [FeO6] octahedron. This deprotonation behavior drives the formation of high-valence Ni3+δ species (0 <δ < 1), which subsequently serve as the active sites, thereby ensuring efficient oxygen evolution activity. …”
