2-NBDG Uptake in Gossypium hirsutum in vitro ovules: exploring tissue-specific accumulation and its impact on hexokinase-mediated glycolysis regulation Open

Melina Shamshoum, Ofir Aharon Kuperman, Sapir Korman Shadmi, Maxim Itkin, Sergey Malitsky , et al. · 2023

Fluorescent glucose derivatives are valuable tools as glucose analogs in plant research to explore metabolic pathways, study enzyme activity, and investigate cellular processes related to glucose metabolism and sugar transport. They allow …

Systematic exploration of bacterial form I rubisco maximal carboxylation rates Open

Benoit de Pins, Lior Greenspoon, Yinon M. Bar‐On, Melina Shamshoum, Roee Ben-Nissan , et al. · 2023

Autotrophy is the basis for complex life on Earth. Central to this process is rubisco - the enzyme that catalyzes almost all carbon fixation on the planet. Yet, with only a small fraction of rubisco diversity kinetically characterized so f…

Cover Feature: Conserved Active Site Architecture Between Bacterial Cellulose and Chitin Synthases (ChemBioChem 16/2023) Open

Melina Shamshoum, Filipe Natálio · 2023

The cover image shows a possible scenario in which the active sites of cellulose synthase or chitin synthase can interchangeably catalyze reactions involving cellulose and chitin, irrespective of their protein shell. This discovery provide…

Conserved Active Site Architecture Between Bacterial Cellulose and Chitin Synthases Open

Melina Shamshoum, Filipe Natálio · 2023

Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are a large and diverse group of enzymes responsible for catalyzing the formation of a glycosidic bond between a donor molecule, usually a monosaccharide, and a wide range of acceptor molecules, thus, playing cri…

Highly active rubiscos discovered by systematic interrogation of natural sequence diversity Open

Dan Davidi, Melina Shamshoum, Zhijun Guo, Yinon M. Bar‐On, Noam Prywes , et al. · 2020

Conversion of Escherichia coli to Generate All Biomass Carbon from CO2 Open

Sarah Moraïs, Johanna Stern, Amaranta Kahn, Anastasia P. Galanopoulou, Shahar Yoav , et al. · 2016

Simple improvement in the activity of a given enzyme does not guarantee its suitability for use in an enzyme cocktail or as a designer cellulosome component. The true merit of improvement resides in its ultimate contribution to synergistic…

Cellulosomal expansin: functionality and incorporation into the complex Open

Lior Artzi, Ely Morag, Melina Shamshoum, Edward A. Bayer · 2016

Significance of Relative Position of Cellulases in Designer Cellulosomes for Optimized Cellulolysis Open

Johanna Stern, Amaranta Kahn, Yael Vazana, Melina Shamshoum, Sarah Moraïs , et al. · 2015

Degradation of cellulose is of major interest in the quest for alternative sources of renewable energy, for its positive effects on environment and ecology, and for use in advanced biotechnological applications. Due to its microcrystalline…
