Crystallographic structures of protein complexes are essential to develop proteomic and structural biology methods, as prediction of protein-protein interaction (PPI) sites and protein-protein docking. Such structures can aid the development of protein complexation inhibitors. Complex DataBase (CDB), accessible at www.jct-bioinfo.com/cdb/search, is a database web application for heterodimeric protein crystallographic complexes along with the crystallographic structures of each individual unbound protein. Direct access to crystallographic structures of protein complexes, along with provided annotations, can serve as starting point for constructing new experimental protein complexes sets of any type, for protein binding studies, and the development and evaluation of PPIs prediction methods.

Eremophilane- and Acorane-Type Sesquiterpenes from the Deep-Sea Cold-Seep-Derived Fungus CS-280 Cultured in the Presence of Autoclaved QDIO-4.

Mar Drugs

December 2024

CAS and Shandong Province Key Laboratory of Experimental Marine Biology, Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanhai Road 7, Qingdao 266071, China.

Six new sesquiterpenes, including four eremophilane derivatives fureremophilanes A-D (-) and two acorane analogues furacoranes A and B ( and ), were characterized from the culture extract of the cold-seep derived fungus CS-280 co-cultured with autoclaved QDIO-4. All the six compounds were highly oxygenated especially and with infrequent epoxyethane and tetrahydrofuran ring systems. The structures of - were established on the basis of detailed interpretation of 1D and 2D NMR and MS data.

Magnetic Field-Induced Control of Crystal Orientation in Porous CuNi Films for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Near-Net Forming of Light Metals of Liaoning Province, Dalian Jiaotong University, Dalian 116028, China.

Porous CuNi films are promising candidates for electrocatalytic water splitting, with their catalytic performance largely influenced by the crystallographic structure and chemical state. In this study, by employing a magnetic field-controlled bubble template-assisted electrodeposition method, CuNi films with a preferred Ni(111) crystal orientation were synthesized. Moreover, adjusting the magnetic field direction during deposition can affect the degree of preferred orientation and, consequently, the electrochemical activity of the films.

Characterization of VldE (Spr1875), a Pneumococcal Two-State l,d-Endopeptidase with a Four-Zinc Cluster in the Active Site.

ACS Catal

December 2024

Department of Crystallography and Structural Biology, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Instituto de Química-Física "Blas Cabrera", Madrid 28006, Spain.

Remodeling of the pneumococcal cell wall, carried out by peptidoglycan (PG) hydrolases, is imperative for maintaining bacterial cell shape and ensuring survival, particularly during cell division or stress response. The protein Spr1875 plays a role in stress response, both regulated by the VicRK two-component system (analogous to the WalRK TCS found in Firmicutes). Modular Spr1875 presents a putative cell-wall binding module at the N-terminus and a catalytic C-terminal module (Spr1875) connected by a long linker.

Antimicrobial resistance is a significant cause of mortality globally due to infections, a trend that is expected to continue to rise. As existing treatments fail and new drug discovery slows, the urgency to develop novel antimicrobial therapeutics grows stronger. One promising strategy involves targeting bacterial systems exclusive to pathogens, such as the transcription regulator protein GabR.

Ligand-stabilized metal nanoclusters with atomic precision are considered to be promising materials in the field of light-emitting and harvesting. Among these, nanoclusters with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) properties are highly sought after. While several gold and silver nanoclusters with TADF properties have been reported in recent years, research on copper counterparts has significantly lagged behind.
