PhoQ is an unsaturated fatty acid receptor that fine-tunes Salmonella pathogenic traits
The Salmonella enterica PhoP/PhoQ two-component signaling system coordinates the spatiotemporal expression of key virulence factors that confer pathogenic traits. Through biochemical and structural analyses, we found that the sensor histidine kinase PhoQ acted as a receptor for long-chain unsaturated fatty acids (LCUFAs), which induced a conformational change in the periplasmic domain of the PhoQ protein. This resulted in the repression of PhoQ autokinase activity, leading to inhibition of the expression of PhoP/PhoQ-dependent genes. Recognition of the LCUFA linoleic acid (LA) by PhoQ was not stereospecific because positio...

Microbes from humics lakes produced omega-3 fatty acids from microplastics
(University of Jyv ä skyl ä - Jyv ä skyl ä n yliopisto) The environmental fate of microplastics has been difficult to trace. A research group led by the University of Jyv ä skyl ä used carbon isotope labeling to follow the fate of polyethylene in the food chain. For the surprise of the researchers, plastic carbon was transformed even to beneficial fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6, by the microbes originating from humic lakes. The research was published in Scientific Reports series at the end of December 2019. (Source: EurekAlert! - Biology)
