Composition of soil fungal communities and microbial activity along an elevational gradient in Mt. Jiri, Republic of Korea by Ana Mitcov, Daegeun Ko, Kwanyoung Ko, Jaeho Kim, Neung-Hwan Oh, Hyun Seok Kim, Hyeyeong Choe, Haegeun Chung

“…The decrease in β-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminidase suggests a reduction in fungal biomass with increasing altitude, while factors other than elevation may influence the increase in activity of the cellobiohydrolase, β-1,4-glucosidase and β-1,4-xylosidase. Fungal alpha diversity did not exhibit an elevational trend, whereas beta diversity formed two clusters (600–1,000 m and 1,200–1,400 m). …”

Identification and characterization of the functional tetrameric UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from Klebsiella pneumoniae by Isabel Ramón Roth, Pavel Kats, Timm Fiebig, Françoise Routier, Roman Fedorov, Larissa Dirr, Jana I. Führing

“…Here, we show that the galF gene of the opportunistic pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae encodes a dimeric protein that has lost UGP activity, likely due to a combination of active site mutations and an inability to tetramerize, whereas the functional K. pneumoniae UGP, encoded by galU, is an active tetramer. Our AlphaFold-assisted structure-function relationship studies underline that tetramerization is essential for bacterial UGP function and is facilitated by a common mechanism utilizing conserved key residues. …”
