On the basis of its generally accessible I/II redox couple and bioavailability, copper plays a
wide variety of roles in nature that mostly involve electron transfer (ET), O 2 binding …

Covering: 1988 to 2012 This review presents recommended nomenclature for the
biosynthesis of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) …

Methanotrophs, cells that consume methane (CH4) as their sole source of carbon and
energy, play key roles in the global carbon cycle, including controlling anthropogenic and …

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change and is
primarily regulated in Nature by methanotrophic bacteria, which consume methane gas as …

Bacterial pathogens secrete chemically diverse iron chelators called siderophores, which
may exert additional distinctive functions in vivo. Among these, uropathogenic Escherichia …

Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element for all living organisms and used as cofactor in
key enzymes of important biological processes, such as aerobic respiration or superoxide …

Aerobic methanotrophs have long been known to play a critical role in the global carbon
cycle, being capable of converting methane to biomass and carbon dioxide. Interestingly …

In Wilson disease (WD), functional loss of ATPase copper-transporting β (ATP7B) impairs
biliary copper excretion, leading to excessive copper accumulation in the liver and fulminant …

Methanobactins (mbs) are low-molecular-mass (< 1,200 Da) copper-binding peptides, or
chalkophores, produced by many methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs). These …
