In this study, we prepared a functional organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflower (InHNF) via split intein moiety in a biomineralization process without using organic solvents. InHNF could specifically bind the target enzymes from crude cell lysates within seconds and site-directedly display them on the surface by forming a peptide bond with enzyme's terminal amino acid residue. This unique feature enabled InHNF to increase the specific activity of zearalenone detoxifying enzyme ZHD518 by 40 ∼ 60% at all tested temperatures and prevented enzyme denaturation even under extreme pH conditions (pH 3-11). Furthermore, it exhibited excellent operational stability, with a residual activity of over 70% after eight reaction cycles. Strikingly, InHNF-ZHD518 achieved above 50% ZEN degradation despite the near inactivation of free ZHD518 in beer sample. Overall, InHNF nanocarriers can achieve environmentally friendly, purification-free, and site-directed immobilization of food enzymes and enhance their catalytic properties, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Unlabelled: The cat eye syndrome chromosome region candidate 2 (CECR2) protein is an epigenetic regulator involved in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional control. The CECR2 bromodomain (CECR2-BRD) plays a pivotal role in directing the activity of CECR2 through its capacity to recognize and bind acetylated lysine residues on histone proteins. This study elucidates the binding specificity and structural mechanisms of CECR2-BRD interactions with both histone and non-histone ligands, employing techniques such as isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and a high-throughput peptide assay.

Monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG) is a major membrane lipid component in plants and is crucial for proper thylakoid functioning. However, MGDG in mammals has not received much attention, partly because of its relative scarcity in mammalian tissues. In addition, the biosynthetic pathway of MGDG in mammals has not been thoroughly analyzed, although some reports have suggested that UGT8, a ceramide galactosyltransferase, has the potential to catalyze MGDG biosynthesis.

Patulin (PAT), a notorious mycotoxin widely found in fruits and their derived products, poses serious health risks to humans and animals due to its high toxicity. Biodegradation based on microbial enzymes has shown broad application prospects in controlling PAT contamination due to its environmental friendliness, high efficiency, strong specificity, and mild conditions of action. Bacillus subtilis is a cosmopolitan probiotic bacterium with an extensive enzymatic profile, which could serve as a valuable resource for the effective production of a range of enzymes utilized in various industrial processes and production applications.

Article Synopsis
- - Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a harmful mycotoxin produced by Fusarium fungi, commonly contaminating grains like wheat, which poses risks to health and agriculture; enzymatic treatments have emerged as effective methods to control its levels.
- - A new enzyme called DON dehydrogenase (DeDDH) from Devosia yakushimensis was found to be most active at 35°C and pH 7.5, with good stability at higher temperatures and the ability to degrade 75% of DON within 4 hours, further enhanced by specific cofactors.
- - Key residues in the enzyme's structure were identified as crucial for its activity, but more research is necessary to understand its structure and
