The rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens global health by reducing the effectiveness of current antibiotics. Natural products remain an essential source of structurally diverse compounds with therapeutic potential. This study’s methanolic extracts of Sophora tomentosa L., a leguminous plant with traditional medicinal uses, were fractionated by liquid–liquid extraction and column chromatography. Dichloromethane and ethyl acetate fractions from leaves and seeds exhibited antibacterial activity against Kocuria rhizophila and Bacillus cereus. GC–MS profiling revealed alkaloids (e.g., matrine), flavonoids (e.g., catechin), phthalic acid derivatives, and fatty acids, supporting the potential of S. tomentosa as a source of novel antibacterial agents.

KCTD (K-potassium Channel Tetramerization Domain-containing) proteins form an emerging class of proteins involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes. The involvement of these proteins in diverse biological functions is often a characteristic shared within family clades. Among them, the multifunctional roles of the cluster members 1B, which include KCTD1 and KCTD15, are particularly intriguing. Several studies have shown that these proteins participate in various signaling pathways and are linked to diseases such as cancer, genetic disorders, and obesity. In this proceedings paper, after a brief review of recent findings on the various (mis)functional roles of these proteins, we analyze available structural data and illustrate how such data have helped uncover structure-function relationships. A summary of the key open questions in the field is also included. Full article
