Organohalide respiration is an anaerobic bacterial respiratory process that uses halogenated hydrocarbons as terminal electron acceptors during electron transport-based energy conservation. This dechlorination process has triggered considerable interest for detoxification of anthropogenic groundwater contaminants. Organohalide-respiring bacteria have been identified from multiple bacterial phyl...

cN-II class of 5' purine nucleotidases exhibit specificity for IMP/GMP and belong to the HAD (haloacid dehalogenase) superfamily of hydrolases. The recently identified ISNI class of IMP specific 5'-nucleotidases occurring in yeast, fungi and certain Plasmodia lack sequence homology with the cN-II class of enzymes. We show from analysis of motif and fold conservation that ISN1s also belong to th...

Horizontal transfer of the chlorothalonil hydrolytic dehalogenase gene (chd) is proposed based on the high conservation of the chd gene and its close association with a novel insertion sequence, ISOcsp1, in 16 isolated chlorothalonil-dechlorinating strains belonging to eight different genera. The ecological role of horizontal gene transfer is assumed to facilitate bacterial adaptation to chloro...

Reversible posttranslational fluorescence labeling opens exciting possibilities for advanced and superresolution microscopy techniques. In their Research Article (e202219050) Michael Holtmannspötter, Jacob Piehler et al. have engineered HaloTag variants with restored dehalogenase activity, which enzymatically exchange fluorogenic substrates at the second-to-minutes time scale. Thus, long-term t...
