Coniferyl aldehyde from the phenylpropanoid pathway targets pyruvate kinase in Dactylobotrys graminicola to confer sheath rot resistance in hulless barley

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Hulless barley resists the newly identified sheath rot disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Dactylobotrys graminicola by releasing coniferyl aldehyde, a natural compound that disrupts energy production in the fungus. ABSTRACT Dactylobotrys graminicola (Dgr), a necrotrophic fungal pathogen, has recently been identified as the causative ...

PLP Homeostasis Protein Is Required for Efficient Maturation of Aromatic Amino Acid Aminotransferase in Salmonella enterica

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Cellular pool of aromatic amino acid aminotransferase proteins represented as holo‐ or apo‐ enzymes, reflecting presence or absence of associated PLP. Status of PLPHP is implicated in determining the ratio of holo‐ and apo‐TyrB. ABSTRACT Pyridoxal 5′‐phosphate (PLP) is an essential cofactor required for metabolic functions including amino acid ...

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

Biophysics 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.

Molybdenum metabolism in plants and crosstalk to iron

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
In the form of molybdate the transition metal molybdenum is essential for plants as it is required by a number of enzymes that catalyze key reactions in nitrogen assimilation, purine degradation, phytohormone synthesis, and sulfite detoxification ...

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

Medical 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 ...

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.

Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...

First Tetraploa Genome and Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveal Key Plant‐Microbe‐Soil Interactions for Salt Tolerance and Yield Improvement of Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salinity is a major threat to global agricultural productivity of staple crops such as wheat. Although microbial‐based solutions hold promise for alleviating salinity stress, practical implementation is hindered by insufficient mechanistic characterization of bioinoculants and their interactions with plants.

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 ...
