Understanding photosynthesis at atomic resolution

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'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).

MIKROBIOM project, or the application of the environmental microbiome in forensics

The MIKROBIOM project, which aims to develop tools to enable the use of environmental microbiome analysis for forensic purposes, is entering the final stages of implementation. Partial results of the project will be presented at the 29th Congress of the International Society for Forensic Genetics, dedicated to the field of genetic markers analyzed for forensic purposes which will take place next week in Washington DC, USA.
