The complex regulation of Slo1 potassium channels from a structural perspective
Biol Chem. 2024 May 3. doi: 10.1515/hsz-2024-0037. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFast and regulated potassium efflux by Slo1 channels is crucial in many tissues in animals including neurons, the kidney and smooth muscle. During the last decade, structures have revealed many details about the gating mechanism and regulation of these large and complex molecular machines. This review summarizes these findings and the current knowledge about the intricate regulation of these important channels. Slo1 integrates sensing of the membrane potential via a voltage-sensor domain that undergoes subtle but significant structural rearran...

Ureibacillus aquaedulcis sp. nov., isolated from freshwater well and reclassification of Lysinibacillus yapensis and Lysinibacillus antri as Ureibacillus yapensis comb. nov. and Ureibacillus antri comb. Nov
Arch Microbiol. 2024 May 2;206(5):242. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03970-0.ABSTRACTA Gram-stain-positive aerobic, rod-shaped, spore-producing bacterium forming colonies with convex elevation and a smooth, intact margin was isolated from a freshwater sample collected from a well situated in an agricultural field. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolated strain BA0131T showed the highest sequence similarity to Lysinibacillus yapensis ylb-03T (99.25%) followed by Ureibacillus chungkukjangi 2RL3-2T (98.91%) and U. sinduriensis BLB-1T (98.65%). The strain BA0131T was oxidase and catalase positive and urease negative. It also test...

Anion-Reinforced Solvation Structure Enables Stable Operation of Ether-Based Electrolyte in High-Voltage Potassium Metal Batteries
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2024 May 2:e202402946. doi: 10.1002/anie.202402946. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTElectrolytes with anion-dominated solvation are promising candidates to achieve dendrite-free and high-voltage potassium metal batteries. However, it's challenging to form anion-reinforced solvates at low salt concentrations. Herein, we construct an anion-reinforced solvation structure at a moderate concentration of 1.5 M with weakly coordinated cosolvent ethylene glycol dibutyl ether. The unique solvation structure accelerates the desolvation of K+, strengthens the oxidative stability to 4.94 V and facilitates the for...

Miniaturized inkjet-printed flexible ion-selective sensing electrodes with the addition of graphene in PVC layer for fast response real-time monitoring applications
Talanta. 2024 Apr 23;275:126107. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126107. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this letter, we propose a miniaturization scheme of inkjet printed ionic sensing electrodes by adding graphene into the ion-selective PVC film not only to reduce the impedance of the ionic liquid layer of the electrode but also to increase the electrode capacitance for the reduction of the response time. Based on the scheme, we present a fully inkjet-printed electrochemical ion-selective sensor comprising a working electrode and reference electrode, which are inkjet-printed Ag NPs/PEDOT:PSS-graphene/PVC-graphene and Ag/AgC...
