Article Abstract
Combined cross-linked enzyme aggregates (Combi-CLEAs) of β-Galactosidase (β-Gal) and Glucose Isomerase (GI) allow the transformation of d-lactose to lactose-fructose syrup through one-pot cascade biocatalytic reactions. Despite its promise, the low thermostability of β-Gal and high-temperature demands for GI limits this application. Trehalose is a protein-stabilizing disaccharide which has been utilized in immobilized enzyme systems to enhance protein thermostability. In this work, trehalose decorated poly (amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers were synthesized at low and high surface coverage levels (10 % and 50 %) and used to stabilize Combi-CLEAs of β-Gal and GI. Addition of trehalose decorated nanostructures to β-Gal and GI Combi-CLEAs enhanced β-Gal performance at elevated temperatures (58.6 % higher activity and 2.26× higher stability) while maintaining GI performance of Combi-CLEAs. The resulting Combi-CLEAs containing trehalose decorated nanostructures retained ~40 % β-Gal activity following 7 consecutive reaction cycles and exhibited GI activity for 5 consecutive reaction cycles. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of trehalose decorated nanostructures to stabilize proteins at elevated temperatures typical of bioprocessing applications and storage of therapeutics.

Flowering duration is pivotal for ornamental appeal, with re-flowering being essential for prolonging the decorative period and enhancing the aesthetics of flowers. We conducted transcriptome and metabolome sequencing analyses on the primary and secondary flower buds of H. macrophylla cv 'White Angel', aiming to reveal the molecular regulatory mechanism of secondary flowering.

Article Synopsis
- Peptide vaccines are effective for disease prevention but struggle with low immunogenicity and stability, necessitating better delivery methods.* -
- A new method using a tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-based peptide vaccine combined with dissolving microneedle (MN) patches enhances the immune response by promoting dendritic cell activation and immune cell infiltration.* -
- Both subcutaneous injection and MN delivery of the TMV-PEP3 vaccine resulted in increased levels of anti-PEP3 IgG antibodies, indicating its potential as an effective and user-friendly vaccine option.*

Mycobacteria and other organisms in the order Mycobacteriales cause a range of significant human diseases, including tuberculosis, leprosy, diphtheria, Buruli ulcer, and non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease. However, the intrinsic drug tolerance engendered by the mycobacterial cell envelope undermines conventional antibiotic treatment and contributes to acquired drug resistance. Motivated by the need to augment antibiotics with novel therapeutic approaches, we developed a strategy to specifically decorate mycobacterial cell surface glycans with antibody-recruiting molecules (ARMs), which flag bacteria for binding to human-endogenous antibodies that enhance macrophage effector functions.

The Carbohydrate-Active Enzyme classification groups enzymes that breakdown, assemble, or decorate glycans into protein families based on sequence similarity. The glycoside hydrolases (GH) are arranged into over 170 enzyme families, with some being very large and exhibiting distinct activities/specificities towards diverse substrates. Family GH31 is a large family that contains more than 20,000 sequences with a wide taxonomic diversity.
