Monitoring and Mitigation Strategies for Hazardous Compounds in Chinese Rice Wine (Huangjiu): A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the formation pathways and detection technologies for ethyl carbamate, biogenic amines, and higher alcohols in Huangjiu. It concludes that integrated control frameworks are essential to decouple safety risks from the metabolic processes responsible for flavor development.

DNA‐Enzyme Hybrid Nanostructures: Functional Materials to Modulate Enzymatic Activity

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
DNA–enzyme hybrid nanostructures enable precise spatial and stoichiometric control over enzyme organization, offering a powerful platform to modulate catalytic activity. This review critically evaluates key mechanistic hypotheses, including proximity effects, microenvironment changes, confinement, and stabilization, as well as highlighting ...

NTAQ1 Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Growth by Facilitating the Protein Degradation of the Tumor Suppressor PRDM2

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Copy number variation analysis in The Cancer Genome Atlas identified NTAQ1 as a potential driver of HCC progression. NTAQ1 accelerates tumor growth by promoting the degradation of the tumor suppressor protein PRDM2, thereby impairing DNA repair and suppressing apoptosis. These findings indicate that NTAQ1 could be a valuable target for the treatment of

Methyl Jasmonate Seed Priming Mitigates the Defence‐Growth Trade‐Off and Tailors Plant Response to Specific Pests

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

The Acylamide Amidohydrolase of Candida utilis: Purification and Properties [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Microbiology, 1969
SUMMARY: The amidohydrolase formed in the later stages of growth on glucose peptone medium by Candida utilis was purified 60-fold from cell-free extracts. The purified enzyme hydrolysed mono- and di-carboxylic acid amides, benzamide, nicotinamide, pyrazinamide and certain β-hydroxyl substituted fatty acid amides, was inactive on l-asparagine and l ...

The BAHD Acyltransferase Gene Family: Evolutionary Dynamics, Biochemical Mechanisms, and Roles in Plant Stress Adaptation

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4139-4158, June 2026.
BAHD acyltransferases drive metabolic diversification in plants by coupling conserved catalytic scaffolds with regulatory flexibility, enabling stress adaptation and ecological specialisation. ABSTRACT BAHD acyltransferases constitute one of the most versatile enzyme superfamilies in plants, catalysing the acylation of alcohols, amines, polyamines, and

Deciphering Physiological Functions of AHL Quorum Quenching Acylases

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
N-Acylhomoserine lactone (AHL)-acylase (also known as amidase or amidohydrolase) is a class of enzyme that belongs to the Ntn-hydrolase superfamily. As the name implies, AHL-acylases are capable of hydrolysing AHLs, the most studied signaling molecules ...

Structural Analyses on the Deamidation of N-Terminal Asn in the Human N-Degron Pathway

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
The N-degron pathway is a proteolytic system in which a single N-terminal amino acid acts as a determinant of protein degradation. Especially, degradation signaling of N-terminal asparagine (Nt-Asn) in eukaryotes is initiated from its deamidation by N ...

Endogenous Ceramide 24:1 Constrains Th17‐Driven Neutrophilic Inflammation by Antagonizing EP2 Signaling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 29, 22 May 2026.
Cer24:1 levels are reduced in neutrophilic asthma and inversely correlate with disease severity and airway neutrophilia. Restoring Cer24:1 suppresses pathogenic Th17 differentiation by engaging EP2 on CD4+ T cells, thereby dampening the JAK2–STAT3–RORγt axis and reducing IL‐17 production.
