Wandera K, Schmelz S, Migur A, Kibe A, Lukat P, Achmedov T, et al.
Mol Cell . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39965569
Anti-CRISPR proteins (Acrs) inhibit CRISPR-Cas immune defenses, with almost all known Acrs acting on the Cas nuclease-CRISPR (cr)RNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. Here, we show that AcrVIB1 from Riemerella anatipestifer, the...

Sci Rep . 2025 Feb; 15(1):5076. PMID: 39934230
cis-Aconitate decarboxylase (ACOD1, CAD, IRG1) catalyses the synthesis of itaconic acid in activated myeloid cells such as macrophages. Several histidine residues in the active site bind the substrate and enable...

Nat Commun . 2025 Jan; 16(1):809. PMID: 39827186
The recently detected Omicron BA.2.86 lineage contains more than 30 amino acid mutations relative to BA.2. BA.2.86 and its JN.1 derivative evade neutralization by serum antibodies of fully vaccinated individuals....

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2024 Oct; 63(46):e202412597. PMID: 39359010
Although ethers are common in secondary natural products, they are an underrepresented functional group in primary metabolism. As such, there are comparably few enzymes capable of constructing ether bonds in...

ACS Omega . 2024 Sep; 9(36):38160-38168. PMID: 39281890
In the search for new antitubercular compounds, we leveraged target-directed dynamic combinatorial chemistry (tdDCC) as an efficient hit-identification method. In tdDCC, the target selects its own binders from a dynamic...
