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.

This study demonstrates the detrimental effects of exogenous uric acid (UA) on the growth of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, highlighting the role of gut microbiota in UA degradation. We isolated UA‐degrading bacterial strains associated with BSF, including Enterococcus faecalis AHAU24.

Deciphering Physiological Functions of AHL Quorum Quenching Acylases
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 ...

SECONDARY EFFECT OF 8-AZAGUANINE ON THE INDUCED OR CONSTITUTIVE SYNTHESIS OF PENICILLINASE IN BACILLUS CEREUS. EUR 509.e [PDF]
1. 1. During the restoration of protein synthesis caused by guanosine after inhibition by azaguanine, the differential rate of synthesis of penicillinase (penicillin amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.2.6) is much reduced. 2. 2.

Characterization of the gene cluster involved in allantoate catabolism and its transcriptional regulation by the RpiR-type repressor HpxU in Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
Bacteria, fungi, and plants have metabolic pathways for the utilization of nitrogen present in purine bases. In Klebsiella pneumoniae, the genes responsible for the assimilation of purine ring nitrogen are distributed in three separated clusters.

A sulfoximine-based inhibitor of human asparagine synthetase kills l-asparaginase-resistant leukemia cells. [PDF]
An adenylated sulfoximine transition-state analogue 1, which inhibits human asparagine synthetase (hASNS) with nanomolar potency, has been reported to suppress the proliferation of an l-asparagine amidohydrolase (ASNase)-resistant MOLT-4 leukemia cell ...

We engineered thermo‐alkali‐stable D‐hydantoinases via mutagenesis (M63A/F65H/C317T) to resolve Pregabalin's challenging chiral splitting, achieving ee value > 97% for key intermediate (R)‐3‐isobutylglutaric acid monoamide (R‐IBM) synthesis under extreme conditions (pH 10, 70°C–80°C).

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

Molecular cloning and characterization of an amidase from Arabidopsis thaliana capable of converting indole-3-acetamide into the plant growth hormone, indole-3-acetic acid [PDF]
Acylamidohydrolases from higher plants have not been characterized or cloned so far. AtAMI1 is the first member of this enzyme family from a higher plant and was identified in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana based on sequence homology with the ...
