Superoxide reductase from Giardia intestinalis: structural characterization of the first sor from a eukaryotic organism shows an iron centre that is highly sensitive to photoreduction [PDF]

, 2015
Superoxide reductase (SOR), which is commonly found in prokaryotic organisms, affords protection from oxidative stress by reducing the superoxide anion to hydrogen peroxide.

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.

Journal 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 ...

Ectopic Expression of ScALDH21 From a Desert Moss Enhances Cotton Resistance to Verticillium Wilt via the Modulation of Jasmonates and Phenylpropanoid Pathways

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic stresses, particularly Verticillium wilt (VW), lead to a global decline in cotton yields. Here, we demonstrate that ectopic expression of ScALDH21, a gene from the desiccation‐tolerant moss Syntrichia caninervis Mitt. and absent in angiosperms, enhances cotton's resistance to VW.

Site directed mutagenesis and purification of the cDNA for human class I aldehyde dehydrogenase : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science at Massey University [PDF]

, 1998
Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is a key enzyme of alcohol metabolism, removing acetaldehyde which is formed as a product of the alcohol dehydrogenase reaction.

Tolerance to Phosphorus Deficiency Improves Seed Phytic Acid‐to‐Iron Molar Ratios in Common Bean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although significant advances have been achieved in the biofortification of common beans to overcome deficiencies in Zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), the mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. We thus explored the relationships between phosphorus nutrition and Zn and Fe accumulation in four bean genotypes (Edar, Nizok, Colorado and Chimbolos ...

Aldo-keto reductases 1B in adrenal cortex physiology

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2016
Aldose reductase proteins are cytosolic monomeric enzymes, belonging to the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily. They perform oxidoreduction of carbonyl groups from a wide variety of substrates such as aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes or ketones.

One can’t stand on its own: Are non-luminescence traits necessary for V. fischeri colonization of E. scolopes? [PDF]

, 2012
Vibrio fischeri and Euprymna scolopes squid establish mutualistic symbiosis and select for each other in the natural environment. V. fischeri provides bioluminescent camouflage for E. scolopes while E. scolopes provides nutrients for V. fischeri.

Time‐ and cultivar‐dependent biochemical responses to heat priming and stress in rice

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Global warming increasingly threatens rice productivity, and understanding the biochemical mechanisms underlying heat stress responses is crucial for developing resilient cultivars. By demonstrating that stress responses are both cultivar‐ and time‐of‐day‐dependent, our findings offer new insights into the temporal and genetic regulation of acquired ...

A Roadmap for Breeding Sweet Tomatoes

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
This graphical abstract outlines four breeding strategies for enhancing sugar content and sweetness in tomato fruits: (1) Identification of key genes and functional variant loci regulating fruit sugar accumulation through systematic germplasm collection, genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), map‐based cloning, and reverse genetics approaches.

Ascorbic acid deficiency promotes metabolic remodeling and pulmonary fibrosis that leads to respiratory failure in Sod1 and Akr1a double-knockout mice

Redox Biology
We recently reported that mice with a double knockout (DKO) of Sod1 encoding superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) and Akr1a encoding aldehyde reductase survived more than one year when supplemented with ascorbic acid (Asc) (1.5 mg/ml in drinking water), and ...
