Hepatic Deficiency of Augmenter of Liver Regeneration Exacerbates Alcohol-Induced Liver Injury and Promotes Fibrosis in Mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Why only a subpopulation (about 15%) of humans develops liver cirrhosis due to alcohol is a critical as yet unanswered question. Liver-specific depletion of augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) protein in mice causes robust steatosis and hepatocyte ...

Alcohol Dehydrogenase of a Novel Algae Fermentation Strain Meyerozyma guilliermondii [PDF]
Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Quarterly, 2018 The production of bioethanol from algae has attracted wide attention in the field of energy. A novel algae fermentation strain, Meyerozyma guilliermondii, can produce alginate mlyase and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) at the same time.

Solution structure of a bacterial microcompartment targeting peptide and its application in the construction of an ethanol bioreactor [PDF]
, 2014 Targeting of proteins to bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) is mediated by an 18-amino-acid peptide sequence. Herein, we report the solution structure of the N-terminal targeting peptide (P18) of PduP, the aldehyde dehydrogenase associated with the 1,2 ...

Integrating Horizontal Gene Transfer and Common Descent to Depict Evolution and Contrast It with ‘‘Common Design [PDF]
, 2010 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and common descent interact in space and time. Because events of HGT co-occur with phylogenetic evolution, it is difficult to depict evolutionary patterns graphically. Tree-like representations of life’s diversification are

Zinc-glutathione in Chinese Baijiu prevents alcohol-associated liver injury
Heliyon, 2023 Zinc depletion is associated with alcohol-associated liver injury. We tested the hypothesis that increasing zinc availability along with alcohol consumption prevents alcohol-associated liver injury.

Oligotrophic Gene Expression in Rhodococcus erythropolis N9T-4 under Various Nutrient Conditions
Microorganisms, 2022 Rhodococcus erythropolis N9T-4 is a super oligotroph that grows on an inorganic basal medium without any additional carbon and nitrogen sources and requires CO2 for its oligotrophic growth. Previously, we found that two genes, aldA and mnoA, encoding NAD-
