Controlling magnetism and transport at perovskite cobaltite interfaces via strain-tuned oxygen vacancy ordering

Complex oxides such as perovskite cobaltites exhibit rich phenomena at interfaces due to the complex interplay between their structural, defect, electronic, and magnetic degrees of freedom. Here, we study this interplay here in the ferromagnetic metallic cobaltite La 1−𝑥 ⁢Sr 𝑥⁢ CoO 3−𝛿 , using specific substrates to vary both the heteroepitaxial strain (compressive vs tensile) and growth orientation ((001) vs (110)). Transmission electron microscopy, electron energy-loss spectroscopy, high-resolution X-ray diffraction, magnetometry, polarized neutron reflectometry, and electronic magnetotransport measurements are applied. Lattice mismatch and growth orientation are found to enable the precise control of interfacial oxygen vacancy ordering in La 1−𝑥⁢ Sr 𝑥 ⁢CoO 3−𝛿 , thus dictating strain relaxation and oxygen vacancy depth profiles, in turn controlling thickness-dependent magnetic and electronic properties. In particular, compressive strain and (110) orientations minimize deleterious magnetic/electronic dead layer effects, leading to the optimization of interfacial magnetism and transport. Strain and orientation tuning of oxygen vacancy ordering are thus established as powerful means to control physical properties at cobaltite-based interfaces, relevant to several fields.

Diverse and unconventional methanogens, methanotrophs, and methylotrophs in metagenome-assembled genomes from subsurface sediments of the Slate River floodplain, Crested Butte, CO, USA

We use metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) to understand single-carbon (C1) compound-cycling—particularly methane-cycling—microorganisms in montane riparian floodplain sediments. We generated 1,233 MAGs (>50% completeness and <10% contamination) from 50- to 150-cm depth below the sediment surface capturing the transition between oxic, unsaturated sediments and anoxic, saturated sediments in the Slate River (SR) floodplain (Crested Butte, CO, USA). We recovered genomes of putative methanogens, methanotrophs, and methylotrophs (n = 57). Methanogens, found only in deep, anoxic depths at SR, originate from three different clades (Methanoregulaceae, Methanotrichaceae, and Methanomassiliicoccales), each with a different methanogenesis pathway; putative methanotrophic MAGs originate from within the Archaea (Candidatus Methanoperedens) in anoxic depths and uncultured bacteria (Ca. Binatia) in oxic depths. Genomes for canonical aerobic methanotrophs were not recovered. Ca. Methanoperedens were exceptionally abundant (~1,400× coverage, >50% abundance in the MAG library) in one sample that also contained aceticlastic methanogens, indicating a potential C1/methane-cycling hotspot. Ca. Methylomirabilis MAGs from SR encode pathways for methylotrophy but do not harbor methane monooxygenase or nitrogen reduction genes. Comparative genomic analysis supports that one clade within the Ca. Methylomirabilis genus is not methanotrophic. The genetic potential for methylotrophy was widespread, with over 10% and 19% of SR MAGs encoding a methanol dehydrogenase or substrate-specific methyltransferase, respectively. MAGs from uncultured Thermoplasmata archaea in the Ca. Gimiplasmatales (UBA10834) contain pathways that may allow for anaerobic methylotrophic acetogenesis. Overall, MAGs from SR floodplain sediments reveal a potential for methane production and consumption in the system and a robust potential for methylotrophy.

Enhancing monolignol ferulate conjugate levels in poplar lignin via OsFMT1

The phenolic polymer lignin is one of the primary chemical constituents of the plant secondary cell wall. Due to the inherent plasticity of lignin biosynthesis, several phenolic monomers have been shown to be incorporated into the polymer, as long as the monomer can undergo radicalization so it can participate in coupling reactions. In this study, we significantly enhance the level of incorporation of monolignol ferulate conjugates into the lignin polymer to improve the digestibility of lignocellulosic biomass. Overexpression of a rice Feruloyl-CoA Monolignol Transferase (FMT), OsFMT1, in hybrid poplar (Populus alba x grandidentata) produced transgenic trees clearly displaying increased cell wall-bound ester-linked ferulate, p-hydroxybenzoate, and p-coumarate, all of which are in the lignin cell wall fraction, as shown by NMR and DFRC. We also demonstrate the use of a novel UV–Vis spectroscopic technique to rapidly screen plants for the presence of both ferulate and p-hydroxybenzoate esters. Lastly we show, via saccharification assays, that the OsFMT1 transgenic poplars have significantly improved processing efficiency compared to wild-type and Angelica sinensis-FMT-expressing poplars. The findings demonstrate that OsFMT1 has a broad substrate specificity and a higher catalytic efficiency compared to the previously published FMT from Angelica sinensis (AsFMT). Importantly, enhanced wood processability makes OsFMT1 a promising gene to optimize the composition of lignocellulosic biomass.

Transporter annotations are holding up progress in metabolic modeling

Mechanistic, constraint-based models of microbial isolates or communities are a staple in the metabolic analysis toolbox, but predictions about microbe-microbe and microbe-environment interactions are only as good as the accuracy of transporter annotations. A number of hurdles stand in the way of comprehensive functional assignments for membrane transporters. These include general or non-specific substrate assignments, ambiguity in the localization, directionality and reversibility of a transporter, and the many-to-many mapping of substrates, transporters and genes. In this perspective, we summarize progress in both experimental and computational approaches used to determine the function of transporters and consider paths forward that integrate both. Investment in accurate, high-throughput functional characterization is needed to train the next-generation of predictive tools toward genome-scale metabolic network reconstructions that better predict phenotypes and interactions. More reliable predictions in this domain will benefit fields ranging from personalized medicine to metabolic engineering to microbial ecology.

Protein–Protein Complex Stability Controls Substrate Scope in a β‐Ketoacyl‐ACP Reductase Specific for Medium Chains

Assembly-line enzymes carry out multistep synthesis of important metabolites by using acyl carrier proteins (ACPs) to shuttle intermediates along defined sequences of active sites. Despite longstanding interest in reprogramming these systems for metabolic engineering and biosynthetic chemistry, the mechanisms underlying their reaction order remain poorly understood and difficult to control. In this work, we describe a β-ketoacyl-ACP reductase from Pseudomonas putida (PpFabG4) with an unusual selectivity for medium chains and use it to explore the molecular basis of substrate specificity in enzymes that pull intermediates from fatty acid synthesis, a common route to specialized products. X-ray crystallography shows no obvious barriers to short-chain binding. Molecular simulations and supporting mutational analyses indicate that substrate preference arises instead from a weak enzyme–ACP interaction that is stabilized by medium acyl chains but not by short chains. Indeed, mutations that strengthen this interaction for PpFabG4 or weaken it for EcFabG, an Escherichia coli β-ketoacyl-ACP reductase with a broad substrate specificity, can enhance or reduce activity on short-chain substrates by over 100-fold. Our findings show how the stability of enzyme-ACP interactions can control substrate scope in promiscuous enzymes and guide the exchange of intermediates between (and within) assembly-line systems.

Identifying Receptor Kinase Substrates Using an 8000 Peptide Kinase Client Library Enriched for Conserved Phosphorylation Sites

In eukaryotic organisms, protein kinases regulate diverse protein activities and signaling pathways through phosphorylation of specific protein substrates. Isolating and characterizing kinase substrates is vital for defining downstream signaling pathways. The kinase-client (KiC) assay is an in vitro synthetic peptide LC-MS/MS phosphorylation assay that has enabled identification of protein substrates (i.e., clients) for various protein kinases. For example, previous use of a 2100-member (2k) peptide library identified substrates for the extracellular ATP receptor-like kinase, P2K1. Many P2K1 clients were confirmed by additional in vitro and in planta studies, including integrin-linked kinase 4, for which we provide the evidence herein. In addition, we developed a new KiC peptide library containing 8000 (8k) peptides based on phosphorylation sites primarily from Arabidopsis thaliana datasets. The 8k peptides are enriched for sites with conservation in other angiosperm plants, with the paired goals of representing functionally conserved sites and usefulness for screening kinases from diverse plants. Screening the 8k library with the active P2K1 kinase domain identified 177 phosphopeptides, including calcineurin B–like protein and G protein alpha subunit 1, which functions in cellular calcium signaling. We confirmed that P2K1 directly phosphorylates calcineurin B–like protein and G protein alpha subunit 1 through in vitro kinase assays. This expanded 8k KiC assay will be a useful tool for identifying novel substrates across diverse plant protein kinases, ultimately facilitating the exploration of previously undiscovered signaling pathways.

Gate-Tunable Short-Wave Infrared Polycrystalline GeSn Phototransistors on Noncrystalline Substrates

GeSn is a group-IV alloy with immense potential to advance microelectronics technology due to its intrinsic compatibility with existing Si CMOS processes. With a sufficiently high Sn composition, GeSn is classified as a direct bandgap semiconductor. Polycrystalline GeSn holds several additional advantages, including its significantly lower synthesis cost compared to its epitaxial counterpart, as well as the versatility to grow these films on a variety of substrates. Here, in this work, we present a polycrystalline thin-film GeSn phototransistor on a fused silica substrate with a Sn composition of ~10%, showing a photoresponse in the short-wave infrared wavelength range, critical for emerging sensing applications. This device shows a gate-tunable response, with responsivities approaching up to 1.7 mA/W with only a 30 nm-thick GeSn layer. Furthermore, phototransistors offer additional adaptability through gating, which allows for the reduction of dark current. This not only enhances the signal-to-noise ratio but also offers more flexible integration with various image sensor readout implementations using different substrates. The specific detectivity of this phototransistor is within an order of magnitude of those of previously reported GeSn photodetectors grown by molecular beam epitaxy and chemical vapor deposition, even though the absorber is 3 to 20× thinner while the electrode spacing for photocarrier transport is approximately 15× longer than the carrier diffusion length in this work, showing great potential benefits of extending similar device structures to epitaxial GeSn layers. As these GeSn phototransistors utilize a noncrystalline substrate, our work establishes a fundamentally more versatile path toward monolithically integrated GeSn-based photodetectors for next-generation multimodal sensors.

Microbes display broad diversity in cobamide preferences

ABSTRACT Cobamides, the vitamin B 12 (cobalamin) family of cofactors, are used by most organisms but produced by only a fraction of prokaryotes, and are thus considered key shared nutrients among microbes. Cobamides are structurally diverse, with multiple different cobamides found in most microbial communities. The ability to use different cobamides has been tested for several bacteria and microalgae, and nearly all show preferences for certain cobamides. This approach is limited by the commercial unavailability of cobamides other than cobalamin. Here, we have extracted and purified seven commercially unavailable cobamides to characterize bacterial cobamide preferences based on growth in specific cobamide-dependent conditions. The tested bacteria include engineered strains of Escherichia coli , Sinorhizobium meliloti , and Bacillus subtilis expressing native or heterologous cobamide-dependent enzymes, cultured under conditions that functionally isolate specific cobamide-dependent processes such as methionine synthesis. Comparison of these results to those of previous studies of diverse bacteria and microalgae revealed that a broad diversity of cobamide preferences exists not only across different organisms but also between different cobamide-dependent metabolic pathways within the same organism. The microbes differed in the cobamides that support growth most efficiently, cobamides that do not support growth, and the minimum cobamide concentrations required for growth. The latter differ by up to four orders of magnitude across organisms from different environments and by up to 20-fold between cobamide-dependent enzymes within the same organism. Given that cobamides are shared, required for use of specific growth substrates, and essential for central metabolism in certain organisms, cobamide preferences likely impact community structure and function. IMPORTANCE Nearly all bacteria are found in microbial communities with tens to thousands of other species. Molecular interactions such as metabolic cooperation and competition are key factors underlying community assembly and structure. Cobamides, the vitamin B 12 family of enzyme cofactors, are one such class of nutrients, produced by only a minority of prokaryotes but required by most microbes. A unique aspect of cobamides is their broad diversity, with nearly 20 structural forms identified in nature. Importantly, this structural diversity impacts growth as most bacteria that have been tested show preferences for specific cobamide forms. We measured cobamide-dependent growth in several model bacteria and compared the results to those of previous analyses of cobamide preference. We found that cobamide preferences vary widely across bacteria, showing the importance of characterizing these aspects of cobamide biology to understand the impact of cobamides on microbial communities.

Computational analysis of interface-driven spin-orbit coupling in molecular adsorbates on transition metal dichalcogenides

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) lifts molecular orbital degeneracy, enabling bilevel electronic platforms suitable for next-generation digital devices. However, common light-atom molecular feedstocks exhibit weak SOC due to the absence of heavy elements. To enhance SOC without synthesizing new materials, we leverage interfacial interactions between molecules and transition-element-based solid-state materials. This computational study investigates SOC splitting in metal-phthalocyanine adsorbed on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) using density functional theory (DFT). The enhanced SOC splitting is attributed to strong orbital hybridization at the molecule-substrate interface. Specifically, Zn-phthalocyanine (ZnPC) on monolayer Mo⁢S 2 achieves a notable SOC splitting of ∼8 meV. Furthermore, when ZnPC forms self-assembled chains on Mo⁢S 2 , the splitting increases to ∼20 meV, driven by the formation of hybrid bands modulated by molecular periodicity. Furthermore, these findings highlight the role of interfacial and intermolecular interactions in inducing and enhancing SOC in surface-adsorbed molecules, providing a new strategy for molecular spintronic materials without complex synthetic efforts.

Structural Insights into the Mechanism of a Polyketide Synthase Thiocysteine Lyase Domain

Polyketide synthases (PKSs) are renowned for the structural diversity of the polyketide natural products they produce, but sulfur-containing functionalities are rarely installed by PKSs. We previously characterized thiocysteine lyase (SH) domains involved in the biosynthesis of the leinamycin (LNM) family of natural products, exemplified by LnmJ-SH and guangnanmycin (GnmT-SH). Here we report a detailed investigation into the PLP-dependent reaction catalyzed by the SH domains, guided by a 1.8 Å resolution crystal structure of GnmT-SH. A series of elaborate substrate mimics were synthesized to answer specific questions garnered from the crystal structure and from the biosynthetic logic of the LNM family of natural products. Here, through a combination of bioinformatics, molecular modeling, in vitro assays, and mutagenesis, we have developed a detailed model of acyl carrier protein (ACP)-tethered substrate-SH, and interdomain interactions, that contribute to the observed substrate specificity. Comparison of the GnmT-SH structure with archetypical PLP-dependent enzyme structures revealed how Nature, via evolution, has modified a common protein structural motif to accommodate an ACP-tethered substrate, which is significantly larger than any of those previously characterized. Overall, this study demonstrates how PLP-dependent chemistry can be incorporated into the context of PKS assembly lines and sets the stage for engineering PKSs to produce sulfur-containing polyketides.

A potential role for RNA aminoacylation prior to its role in peptide synthesis

Coded ribosomal peptide synthesis could not have evolved unless its sequence and amino acid–specific aminoacylated tRNA substrates already existed. We therefore wondered whether aminoacylated RNAs might have served some primordial function prior to their role in protein synthesis. Here, we show that specific RNA sequences can be nonenzymatically aminoacylated and ligated to produce amino acid–bridged stem-loop RNAs. We used deep sequencing to identify RNAs that undergo highly efficient glycine aminoacylation followed by loop-closing ligation. The crystal structure of one such glycine-bridged RNA hairpin reveals a compact internally stabilized structure with the same eponymous T-loop architecture that is found in many noncoding RNAs, including the modern tRNA. We demonstrate that the T-loop-assisted amino acid bridging of RNA oligonucleotides enables the rapid template-free assembly of a chimeric version of an aminoacyl-RNA synthetase ribozyme. We suggest that the primordial assembly of amino acid–bridged chimeric ribozymes provides a direct and facile route for the covalent incorporation of amino acids into RNA. A greater functionality of covalently incorporated amino acids could contribute to enhanced ribozyme catalysis, providing a driving force for the evolution of sequence and amino acid–specific aminoacyl-RNA synthetase ribozymes in the RNA World. The synthesis of specifically aminoacylated RNAs, an unlikely prospect for nonenzymatic reactions but a likely one for ribozymes, could have set the stage for the subsequent evolution of coded protein synthesis.

Multi‐Omics Analyses Reveal Divergent Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Plant Biomass Conversion by Five Fungi

Fungal plant biomass conversion (FPBC) is of great importance to the global carbon cycle and has been increasingly applied for the production of biofuel and biochemicals from lignocellulose. However, the comprehensive understanding of relevant molecular mechanisms in different fungi remains challenging. Here, we comparatively analyzed the transcriptome, proteome and metabolome profile of four ascomycetes and one basidiomycete fungi during their growth on two common agricultural feedstocks (soybean hulls and corn stover). We revealed strong time‐, substrate‐ and species‐specific responses at multi‐omics levels for the tested fungi, highlighting species‐specific carbon utilization approaches and evolutionary adaptation to environmental niches. Notably, a remarkable expressional diversity of lignocellulose degrading enzymes, sugar transporter and metabolic genes, as well as industrially relevant metabolites were identified across different fungi and cultivation conditions. The findings improves our understanding of complex molecular networks underlying FPBC and fungal ecological roles, offering novel insights that can guide future genetic engineering of fungi for valorization of agriculture waste into value‐added bioproducts.

Rapid Screening of Single-Atom Catalyst Synthesis Conditions Using ToF-SIMS and Facet-Dependent Single-Crystal Substrates

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) offer superior catalytic performance compared to traditional nanoparticle catalysts but are challenging to develop because of the need for extensive optimization and specialized characterization techniques. Here, this study presents a rapid and versatile method for detecting synthesis conditions and elucidating deposition mechanisms of SACs on various substrates. By depositing active elements (Au, Cu, Ni and Rh) on facet-specific single-crystalline substrates (CeO 2 , TiO 2 , MgO and Al 2 O 3 ) and employing time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS), we assessed facet-dependent deposition behaviors and identified optimal conditions for solution-based SAC synthesis. On CeO 2 and TiO 2 , we confirmed facet-dependent deposition, primarily influenced by oxygen vacancy density and photocatalytic activity, respectively. MgO exhibited the formation of metal oxide/hydroxide clusters for all active elements, and the degree of clustering for Cu and Ni was correlated with the facet hydrolysis susceptibility. Notably, Au and Rh deposition on MgO was facet-independent, attributed to the formation of hydroxide species in solution. Al 2 O 3 , due to its chemical stability and lack of surface defects, did not show active element deposition. This study not only provides a time and cost-efficient method for prescreening SAC synthesis conditions, but it also provides valuable insights into the various deposition mechanisms governing SAC formation on different substrates, paving the way for the rational design of tailored SACs for various catalytic applications.

Epitaxial Thin Film Growth on Recycled SrTiO 3 Substrates Toward Sustainable Processing of Complex Oxides

Complex oxide thin films cover a range of physical properties and multifunctionalities that are critical for logic, memory, and optical devices. Typically, the high‐quality epitaxial growth of these complex oxide thin films requires single crystalline oxide substrates such as SrTiO 3 (STO), MgO, LaAlO 3 , a‐Al 2 O 3, and many others. Recent successes in transferring these complex oxides as free‐standing films not only offer great opportunities in integrating complex oxides on other devices, but also present enormous opportunities in recycling the deposited substrates after transfer for cost‐effective and sustainable processing of complex oxide thin films. In this work, the surface modification effects introduced on the recycled STO are investigated, and their impacts on the microstructure and properties of subsequently grown epitaxial oxide thin films are assessed and compared with those grown on the pristine substrates. Detailed analyses using high‐resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and geometric phase analysis demonstrate distinct strain states on the surfaces of the recycled STO versus the pristine substrates, suggesting a pre‐strain state in the recycled STO substrates due to the previous deposition layer. These findings offer opportunities in growing highly mismatched oxide films on the recycled STO substrates with enhanced physical properties. Specifically, yttrium iron garnet (Y 3 Fe 5 O 12 ) films grown on recycled STO present different ferromagnetic responses compared to that on the pristine substrates, underscoring the effects of surface modification. The study demonstrates the feasibility of reuse and redeposition using recycled substrates. Via careful handling and preparation, high‐quality epitaxial thin films can be grown on recycled substrates with comparable or even better structural and physical properties toward sustainable process of complex oxide devices.

Structural basis for C-degron selectivity across KLHDCX family E3 ubiquitin ligases

Abstract Specificity of the ubiquitin-proteasome system depends on E3 ligase-substrate interactions. Many such pairings depend on E3 ligases binding to peptide-like sequences - termed N- or C-degrons - at the termini of substrates. However, our knowledge of structural features distinguishing closely related C-degron substrate-E3 pairings is limited. Here, by systematically comparing ubiquitylation activities towards a suite of common model substrates, and defining interactions by biochemistry, crystallography, and cryo-EM, we reveal principles of C-degron recognition across the KLHDCX family of Cullin-RING ligases (CRLs). First, a motif common across these E3 ligases anchors a substrate’s C-terminus. However, distinct locations of this C-terminus anchor motif in different blades of the KLHDC2, KLHDC3, and KLHDC10 β-propellers establishes distinct relative positioning and molecular environments for substrate C-termini. Second, our structural data show KLHDC3 has a pre-formed pocket establishing preference for an Arg or Gln preceding a C-terminal Gly, whereas conformational malleability contributes to KLHDC10’s recognition of varying features adjacent to substrate C-termini. Finally, additional non-consensus interactions, mediated by C-degron binding grooves and/or by distal propeller surfaces and substrate globular domains, can substantially impact substrate binding and ubiquitylatability. Overall, the data reveal combinatorial mechanisms determining specificity and plasticity of substrate recognition by KLDCX-family C-degron E3 ligases.

Salt supplementation-induced metabolic reprogramming in Streptomyces coelicolor

Members of the genus Streptomyces are major producers of a wide variety of secondary metabolites that serve as bioactive compounds. Many secondary metabolites are produced in response to environmental signals such as biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, we identified salt supplementation as one of the stimuli activating secondary metabolism in the model Streptomyces species, Streptomyces coelicolor. Comparative metabolomics revealed overproduction of several known secondary metabolites, most notably undecylprodigiosin and coelimycin P1, in addition to their biosynthetic intermediates and derivatives, as well as many unknown metabolites. Transcriptomic analysis revealed activation of diverse biological processes including cation uptake, compatible solute production, and the phosphate limitation stress response through conserved and species-specific mechanisms, presumably to overcome the increased salinity. This response leads to activation of a variety of regulatory and metabolic pathways required for production of secondary metabolites including activation of conserved metabolic pathways for energy and substrate supply and species-specific secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters. Furthermore, several promoter sequences contributing to upregulation of secondary metabolism induced by salt supplementation were identified. Overall, our data show how S. coelicolor copes with the increased salinity and tailors the cellular metabolism toward secondary metabolism in a conserved and species-specific manner.
