We investigated how #enzymes in the #nonribosomal #biosynthesis of life-saving #peptide #antibiotics can be engineered.
Assuming that #promiscuity serves as a springboard for #evolution, we measured the specificity profiles of hundreds of mutants. The results revealed remarkable shifts in substrate specificity in multiple directions, highlighting the evolutionary potential of these enzymes and leading the way for engineering antibiotic biosynthesis.

Great to see our article about the role of MftG in mycobacterial respiration highlighted in eLife: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.106286
Cellular Energy Production: Mycofactocin and the mycobacterial electron transport chain

In the bacterium M. smegmatis, an enzyme called MftG allows the cofactor mycofactocin to transfer electrons released during ethanol metabolism to the electron transport chain.

I am thrilled to announce that our lab has joined @Uni_Stuttgart and I have accepted the position as Professor of Technical Biochemistry! 🔬🥂 I am honored to follow in the footsteps of Prof. Bernhard Hauer, whose contributions to the field are truly inspiring.
We look forward to continue working on #EnzymeDesign, #Biocatalysis, #Biosynthesis and #NonribosomalPeptides. Thanks to Dr Kirti Sharma, Maximilian Müll, and Kexin Zhang for joining me on the journey from @LeibnizHKI to Stuttgart.

🎉 Our latest research: "A Sample-Centric and Knowledge-Driven Computational Framework for Natural Products Drug Discovery" as been published in ACS Central Science.

The Experimental Natural Products Knowledge Graph (ENPKG) framework is a radically novel approach to drug discovery and chemodiversity characterization. 🌿 💻

It takes, er....big balls, and lots of them, to publish AI generated nonsense art in a scientific paper.

Also I don't ever want to hear that Frontiers is not a predatory publisher.

Cellular functions of spermatogonial stem cells in relation to JAK/STAT signaling pathway

This manuscript comprehensively reviews the interrelationship between spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) and the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Spermatogonial stem cells in the testes of male mammals, characterized by their self-renewal and pluripotential differentiation capabilities, are essential for tissue regeneration, immunomodulation, and advancements in regenerative medicine. This review delves into the historical background and biological characteristics of SSCs, with a particular emphasis on the pivotal role of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway in their proliferation, maturation, and differentiation processes. Research indicates that the JAK/STAT pathway extensively influences various functionalities of spermatogonial stem cells, encompassing immunomodulation, tissue differentiation, homing, and adaptation to the microenvironment. Herein, we collate and dissect related studies, shedding light on the intricate dynamics between SSCs and the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, and examine the implications of these interactions on the biological attributes and functionalities of SSCs. Furthermore, the review discusses the profound implications of these findings for preclinical research and the domain of cellular engineering. It is acknowledged that, despite advancements in the research of SSCs and the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, investigations in humans and larger mammals remain inadequate, necessitating more in-depth exploration to establish a comprehensive theoretical framework.
