"Perły nauki" awarded to M.Sc. eng. Witold Wydmański from the Małopolska Centre of Biotechnology of Jagiellonian University.

The Ministry of Education and Science has launched the first edition of "Perły Nauki", the successor of "Diamentowy Grant". Witold Wydmański, M.Sc. eng, from the Bioinformatics Research Group of the Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology, is one of the 98 winners of the "Perły Nauki". The purpose of this competition is to support exceptionally talented undergraduates or students in their third or fourth year of a unified master's programme. Candidates' projects must receive at least two positive reviews from external experts to be eligible for funding.

Protein S-persulfidation (P-SSH) is recognized as a common posttranslational modification. It occurs under basal conditions and is often observed to be elevated under stress conditions. However, the mechanism(s) by which proteins are persulfidated inside cells have remained unclear.

Understanding photosynthesis at atomic resolution

Scientists from the Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology (FBBB) and the Małopolska Centre of Biotechology (MCB) of the Jagiellonian University Krakow teamed up to understand photosynthesis in plants at the atomic level. In detail, the Department of Molecular Biophysics and the Max Planck Research Group determined high-resolution cryo-EM structures of cytochrome b6f, one of the key membrane protein complex in photosynthesis. This complex transfers electrons between plastoquinol and plastocyanin to link functionally plant photosystems, thereby securing electron flow and efficiency of photosynthesis.

Ground-breaking studies into the structure of the Elongator complex

Ground-breaking studies into the structure of the Elongator complex

Wobble uridine carboxymethylation at the tRNAs anticodon is essential for correct protein synthesis. In archaea and bacteria the modification reaction is catalyzed by the Elp3 enzyme, while in eukaryotes the enzyme is a part of the large multi-subunit Elongator complex. The latest work of scientists from the Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology (MCB/UJ) describes the first high resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of Elongator, which sheds light on the role of the Elp456 subcomplex

The MetaSUB consortium's history: worldwide tracking of urban microorganisms

The MetaSUB Consortium, founded in 2015, is a global consortium with an interdisciplinary team of clinicians, scientists, bioinformaticians, engineers, and designers, with members from more than 100 countries across the globe. This network has continually collected samples from urban and rural sites including subways and transit systems, sewage systems, hospitals, and other environmental sampling. These collections have been ongoing since.

Persulfidation is a unique posttranslational protein modification that protects our cells and proteomes against oxidative stress and ageing. Very recent work from the Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology (MCB UJ) shows that this small chemical modification is installed by a cellular protein, called Ubiquitin related modifier 1 (or short Urm1).
