Summary: This study discovered that a mutant variant in cells produced insoluble and protease-resistant species even without exposure to the infectious prion protein isoform. The formation of these assemblies was reversible and dependent on the medium formulation. Cobalamin was identified as a key component of the medium, and its interaction with the PrPC protein was validated. These findings have implications for understanding sporadic prion disease.

Summary: The N-terminal polybasic region of PrP greatly influences the PrPC-to-PrPSc conversion, but is not essential for the generation of PrPSc. Both charge and the identity of amino acids in the N-terminal polybasic region are important for PrP conversion, as evidenced by the significant differences between Delta N6 and Met4-1 mutants.

Summary: Ctr1 regulates copper uptake and distribution, with its N-terminal amino acid sequence Ctr1((1-14)) containing ATCUN and His5-His6 binding motifs forming Cu2+ homobinuclear complexes. Ascorbate cannot reduce Cu2+ bound to ATCUN, but can reduce Cu2+ bound to His5-His6. Furthermore, the anti-Ctr1 extracellular antibody recognizes Ctr1((1-14)) differently from Ctr1((1-25)).

Summary: The Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC) is a complex of at least 77 phylogenetically distinct species that includes agriculturally important and clinically relevant opportunistic pathogens. The FSSC has been found to produce a diverse range of secondary metabolites, which may contribute to its ability to colonize different habitats and hosts. This study identified a large number of secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in the genomes of ten FSSC fungi, including several novel BGCs and those responsible for the production of known compounds.

Summary: Campylobacter ureolyticus is an emerging pathogen that is increasingly recognized as a common cause of gastroenteritis and extra-intestinal infections in humans. However, little is known about the genomic content and relatedness of this species, particularly in clinical isolates. In this study, we reviewed the epidemiology of clinical C. ureolyticus isolates and conducted genetic sequencing to better understand the taxonomic relationships and identify target species clusters for future analysis.

Summary: The Cytb subunit of yeast mitochondrial complex bc is encoded in the mitochondrial genome and has eight transmembrane helices containing two hemes b. Cbp3 and Cbp6 assist in Cytb synthesis, while Cbp4 induces Cytb hemylation. Lack of Qcr7 reduces Cytb synthesis through an assembly-feedback mechanism involving Cbp3/Cbp6. Deletion of the Cytb C-region does not affect Cytb synthesis but disrupts the assembly-feedback regulation, resulting in non-respiratory mutants.

Summary: The study identified two RSSC phylotypes, with phylotype II (95.79%) being predominant and phylotype III (4.21%) being less common. Pathogenicity tests showed varying levels of susceptibility among different potato cultivars, with Cultivar Cruza being recommended for planting in fields with a history of BW due to its lower susceptibility to both phylotype II and III strains.

Summary: Mining areas in the Iberian Pyrite Belt have caused severe contamination of soils and water with metals and metalloids. Our study reveals that the spatial distribution of copper isotopes in pit lakes is controlled by water-rock interaction processes, while attenuation processes in the river result in the precipitation of secondary minerals and preferential retention of heavy isotopes. The constant isotopic signature in the terminal lake suggests the involvement of both biotic and abiotic processes in copper fractionation.

Summary: The copper(II) complexes of a peptide fragment from the R3 domain of tau protein have been studied using various methods to determine their coordination modes. The versatile coordination of copper(II) with the peptide is attributed to the presence of two adjacent histidyl residues, resulting in different complex formations at varying metal-to-ligand ratios. CD spectroscopy indicates the presence of coordination isomers with similar concentrations.

Summary: In the last two decades, the amyloid hypothesis has been the mainstream concept in Alzheimer's Disease research. However, recent evidence suggests that tau accumulation is more closely related to cognitive decline and AD development. Failed clinical trials of amyloid-targeting drug candidates imply the need for significant amendments to the amyloid hypothesis. This article discusses the potential dangerous relationships between A beta oligomeric species and tau protein and explores the molecular determinants underlying their cross interactions.

Summary: A series of copper(II) complexes varying the molecular weight of Hyaluronic acid (Hy, x = 200 or 700 kDa) conjugated with carnosine (Car) were synthesized and characterized. The metal complexes showed excellent Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) mimicking activity. The presence of non-functionalized Hyaluronic acid OH groups enhanced the scavenger activity of the copper(II) complexes.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.

Summary: Na-ion batteries (NIBs) have attracted great interest as a potential technology for grid-scale energy storage due to the wide distribution, low cost, and environmental friendliness of sodium resources. However, their implementation is hindered by low rate capability and cycling stability caused by the large ionic size of Na+. In this study, a three-dimensional nanoarchitectured coral-like CoSe2@N-doped carbon (CL-CoSe2@NC) was synthesized, and it exhibited improved sodium storage properties with better electrode kinetics and a stable SEI film.
