Discovery and characterization of a novel family of prokaryotic nanocompartments involved in sulfur metabolism
Robert J Nichols,Benjamin LaFrance,Naiya R Phillips,Devon R. Radford,Luke M. Oltrogge,Luis E. Valentin-Alvarado,Amanda J Bischoff,Eva Nogales,David F. Savage +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel encapsulin in the freshwater cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 was described, which is upregulated upon sulfate starvation and encapsulates a cysteine desulfurase enzyme via an Nterminal targeting sequence.

Robert J Nichols,Benjamin LaFrance,Naiya R Phillips,Luke M. Oltrogge,Luis E. Valentin-Alvarado,Amanda J Bischoff,Eva Nogales,Eva Nogales,Eva Nogales,David F. Savage +9 more
TL;DR: This work describes a novel encapsulin in the freshwater cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 that is upregulated upon sulfate starvation and encapsulates a cysteine desulfurase enzyme via an N-terminal targeting sequence and determines the structure of the nanocompartment complex to 2.2 Å resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of Gene Content and Co-occurrence Constrain the Evolutionary Path toward Animal Association in Candidate Phyla Radiation Bacteria.
Alexander L. Jaffe,Alex D. Thomas,Christine He,Ray Keren,Luis E. Valentin-Alvarado,Patrick Munk,Keith Bouma-Gregson,Ibrahim F. Farag,Yuki Amano,Rohan Sachdeva,Rohan Sachdeva,Patrick T. West,Jillian F. Banfield +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate variation in gene content with habitat of origin and find that Absconditabacteria, Gracilibacteria, and Saccharibacteria have undergone multiple transitions from environmental habitats into animal microbiomes.

Borgs are giant extrachromosomal elements with the potential to augment methane oxidation
Basem Al-Shayeb,Marie Charlotte Schoelmerich,West-Roberts J,Luis E. Valentin-Alvarado,Rohan Sachdeva,Rohan Sachdeva,Mullen S,Alexander Crits-Christoph,Michael J. Wilkins,Kenneth H. Williams,Jennifer A. Doudna,Jillian F. Banfield +11 more
TL;DR: Borgs as mentioned in this paper are a new type of archaeal extrachromosomal element with a distinct evolutionary origin, and they have been identified at least 19 different Borg types coexisting with Methanoperedens in four distinct ecosystems.
