CcmG/DsbE is a typical thiol/disulfide oxidoreductase, exhibiting a specific reducing activity in a highly oxidizing environment, and is involved in electron transfer during the maturation of c-type cytochromes. Escherichia coli CcmG/DsbE (residues 19-185) has been crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 35.48, b = 48.52, c = 84.78 A. X-ray data have been collected to 1.9 A resolution.

The E. coli strains harboring the polyketide synthase (pks) island encode the genotoxin colibactin, a secondary metabolite reported to have severe implications for human health and for the progression of colorectal cancer. The present study involves whole-genome-wide comparison and phylogenetic analysis of pks harboring E.

The influx of whole genome sequencing (WGS) data in the public health and clinical diagnostic sectors has created a need for data analysis methods and bioinformatics expertise, which can be a bottleneck for many laboratories. At Sciensano, the Belgian national public health institute, an intuitive and user-friendly bioinformatics tool portal was implemented using Galaxy, an open-source platform for data analysis and workflow creation. The Galaxy @Sciensano instance is available to both internal and external scientists and offers a wide range of tools provided by the community, complemented by over 50 custom tools and pipelines developed in-house.

Following transcript release during intrinsic termination, Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP) often remains associated with DNA in a post-termination complex (PTC). RNAPs in PTCs are removed from the DNA by the SWI2/SNF2 adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) RapA. Here we determined PTC structures on negatively supercoiled DNA and with RapA engaged to dislodge the PTC.

Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) integrated within whole cells have emerged as promising catalysts; however, their sensitivity to metal centers remains a systematic challenge, resulting in diminished activity and turnover. Here we address this issue by inducing in cellulo liquid-liquid phase separation through a self-labeling fusion protein, HaloTag-SNAPTag. This strategy creates membraneless, isolated liquid condensates within Escherichia coli as protective compartments for the assembly of ArMs using the same fusion protein.

In Escherichia coli, three ribosomal RNAs and 54 ribosomal proteins are synthesized and subjected to cooperative hierarchical assembly facilitated by numerous accessory factors. Realizing ribosome biogenesis in vitro is a critical milestone for understanding the self-replication of life and creating artificial cells.
