A chemo‐enzymatic colorimetric cascade for detecting ethylene glycol contamination

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
A chemo‐enzymatic cascade is developed for ethylene glycol (EG) detection. EG is oxidized by GoADH with C1‐mediated cofactor recycling to produce glycolaldehyde (GAL). GAL subsequently reacts with purpald to generate a detectable purple chromophore.

Characterization of Sec14 Domain–Containing Proteins in the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
During asexual blood‐stage development, P. falciparum Sec14 proteins display distinct localizations suggesting specialized roles in lipid exchange. PfSec14‐1 initially localizes to the nucleus before moving to the ER and Golgi alongside PfSec14‐4 during schizogony.

Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Pig muscle aldehyde reductase. Identity of pig muscle aldehyde reductase with pig lens aldose reductase and with the low Km aldehyde reductase of pig brain and pig kidney.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1983
A monomeric (Mr = 43,000) NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase with a broad substrate specificity for aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and aldo sugars has been purified from the skeletal muscle of female and castrated pigs. The properties of this enzyme are consistent with those of aldose reductase (EC 1.1.1.21), and the enzyme is immunologically identical ...

Transient transformation of artemisinic aldehyde ∆ 11 (13) double bond reductase (dbr2) gene into Artemisia annua L.

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Biotechnology, 2016
Global demand of antimalarial drug artemisinin has a gap with production capacity from existing sources since the low content of this compound from Artemia annua L. Genetic engineering-based strategy for A.

Unexpected Suppression of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Formation by Overexpression of a Key Cutin Biosynthetic Enzyme

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

The role of aldehyde reductase AKR1A1 in the metabolism of gamma-hydroxybutyrate in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells

open access: yes, 2011
The role of the aldehyde reductase AKR1A1 in the biosynthesis of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) has been investigated in cell lines using a specific double stranded siRNA designed to knock down expression of the enzyme. This enzyme, along with the aldo-keto

Comparative Genome‐Wide Association Studies of Metabolites and Grain‐Related Traits in Common Wheat

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The metabolome is highly diverse and the closest layer to phenotype; therefore, it is commonly regarded as a bridge between the genome and phenome in plants. Here, we performed large‐scale metabolome analysis using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) and 33 grain‐related traits in a diverse panel of natural accessions and

Product release and substrate entry of aldehyde deformylating oxygenase revealed by molecular dynamics simulations

open access: yesBiophysics and Physicobiology
Cyanobacteria can produce alkanes equivalent to diesel fuels through a two-step enzymatic process involving acyl-(acyl carrier protein) reductase (AAR) and aldehyde deformylating oxygenase (ADO), providing a potential renewable biofuel source.
