Calisto R, Godinho O, Devos D, Lage O
Genomics . 2024 Nov; 117(1):110965. PMID: 39577783
The biotechnological potential of Planctomycetota only recently started to be unveiled. 129 reference genomes and 5194 available genomes (4988 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs)) were analysed regarding the presence of Biosynthetic Gene...

Amaral A, Devos D
PLoS Comput Biol . 2024 Sep; 20(9):e1012459. PMID: 39283951
An often-overlooked aspect of biology is formed by the outliers of the protein length distribution, specifically those proteins with more than 5000 amino acids, which we refer to as huge...

Godinho O, Devos D, Quinteira S, Lage O
Res Microbiol . 2024 Mar; 175(5-6):104196. PMID: 38467354
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and research on this topic has been on the spotlight for a long time. More recently and in agreement...

Rivas-Marin E, Moyano-Palazuelo D, Henriques V, Merino E, Devos D
Nat Commun . 2023 Nov; 14(1):7224. PMID: 37940686
Planctopirus limnophila belongs to the bacterial phylum Planctomycetes, a relatively understudied lineage with remarkable cell biology features. Here, we report a genome-wide analysis of essential gene content in P. limnophila....

Ferrelli M, Pidre M, Garcia-Dominguez R, Alberca L, Del Saz-Navarro D, Santana-Molina C, et al.
J Struct Biol . 2023 Jun; 215(3):107987. PMID: 37343709
Membrane coat proteins are essential players in the eukaryotic endomembrane traffic system. Previous work identified proteins with the membrane-coat architecture in prokaryotes, specifically in the Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia and Chlamydiae (PVC)...

Santana-Molina C, Del Saz-Navarro D, Devos D
Front Microbiol . 2023 Jan; 13:1100249. PMID: 36704558
The origin of the FtsZ/tubulin protein family was extremely relevant for life since these proteins are present in nearly all organisms, carrying out essential functions such as cell division or...

Santana-Molina C, Henriques V, Hornero-Mendez D, Devos D, Rivas-Marin E
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Dec; 119(52):e2210081119. PMID: 36534808
Carotenoids are isoprenoid lipids found across the tree of life with important implications in oxidative stress adaptations, photosynthetic metabolisms, as well as in membrane dynamics. The canonical view is that...

Rizk S, Henke P, Santana-Molina C, Martens G, Gnadig M, Nguyen N, et al.
Mol Microbiol . 2021 Aug; 116(4):1064-1078. PMID: 34387371
Hopanoids and carotenoids are two of the major isoprenoid-derived lipid classes in prokaryotes that have been proposed to have similar membrane ordering properties as sterols. Methylobacterium extorquens contains hopanoids and...

Devos D
Mol Biol Evol . 2021 Jul; 38(9):3531-3542. PMID: 34229349
The relationship between the three domains of life-Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya-is one of Biology's greatest mysteries. Current favored models imply two ancestral domains, Bacteria and Archaea, with eukaryotes originating within...

Jansen R, Santana-Molina C, van den Noort M, Devos D, van der Klei I
Front Cell Dev Biol . 2021 Jun; 9:654163. PMID: 34095119
PEX genes encode proteins involved in peroxisome biogenesis and proliferation. Using a comparative genomics approach, we clarify the evolutionary relationships between the 37 known PEX proteins in a representative set...
