  • Invasive Spartina grasses accumulate high levels of intracellular dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP). Here, the authors report the isolation and characterization of the genes involved in DMSP biosynthesis and show that administration of DMSP by root uptake or overexpression of the DMSP biosynthesis genes results in salinity and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis.

  • Cycling of the sulfur compound DMSOP by dimethylsulfoniopropionate lyase enzymes in the most abundant marine bacteria, algae and fungi is diverse and prevalent in Earth’s oceans and sediments and probably impacts climate-active gas production.

  • The mucus layer is an important physical niche within the gut which harbours a distinct microbial community. Here the authors show that specific carbohydrate-binding modules associated with bacterial carbohydrate-active enzymes are mucus adhesins that target regions of the distal colon rich in sialomucins.

  • The type III secretion system effectors NleB and SseK are glycosyltransferases (GT) that specifically glycosylate arginine residues. Here the authors provide insights into their mechanism by combining X-ray crystallography, NMR, enzyme kinetics measurements, molecular dynamics simulations and in vivo experiments and show that SseK/NleB enzymes are retaining GTs.

  • The astronomical event GW170817, detected in gravitational and electromagnetic waves, is used to determine the expansion rate of the Universe, which is consistent with and independent of existing measurements.

  • Two sources of variability are reported in extreme horizontal branch (EHB) stars found in globular clusters, both related to the action of weak magnetic fields: large surface spots and very energetic flares. EHB stars in clusters can thus be linked to EHB field stars, and beyond, to other stars with radiative envelopes.

  • Microbial α-L-fucosidases pertain to the glycoside hydrolases (GHs) family and catalyse the hydrolysis of terminal α-L-fucosidic linkages and transglycosylation reactions, however, prediction of their function directly from protein sequences remains challenging. Here, the authors combine a protein sequence similarity network and protein language model to explore the sequence-function space of GH29 fucosidases and substrate specificity of uncharacterised GH29 sequences.
