Protective effects of L-arabinose in high-carbohydrate, high-fat diet-induced metabolic syndrome in rats

Food & Nutrition Research, 2015
Background: L-Arabinose is a non-caloric sugar, which could affect glucose and lipid metabolism and suppress obesity. However, few reports have described the effect of L-arabinose in metabolic syndrome, a combination of medical disorders that increase ...

Evaluation of Torula Yeast (Candida utilis) Single Cell Proteins as a Partial Replacement for Soybean Meal in Broiler Diets: Effects on Productive Performance, Meat Quality Traits, and Plasma Metabolome

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over recent years the use of yeast in feedstuffs has gained momentum due to novel developments in single‐cell proteins (SCPs). SCPs are considered a sustainable protein source, as their production enable to convert low‐value substrates (including industrial/agricultural wastes) into feed, with a related reduced environmental impact.

Dietary L-arabinose-induced gut dysbiosis exacerbates Salmonella infection outcome

mSystems
The gut microbiota is essential for providing colonization resistance against pathogens. Dietary sugars markedly shift the composition of the intestinal microbiota and alter host susceptibility to enteric infections.

A Single‐Nucleotide Substitution Generates a de Novo Promoter That Activates a Latent Metabolic Bypass in Escherichia coli

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
A chromosomal mutation allows bypass of deletion of the Escherichia coli fabH gene. The bypass results from creation of a new promoter that drives increased madA transcription, resulting in increased synthesis of acetyl‐acyl carrier protein by decarboxylation of malonyl‐acyl carrier protein.

The Role of torS and torT Transcription in Driving a Bet‐Hedging Strategy for Trimethylamine N‐Oxide Reductase Expression in Escherichia coli

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Low basal activity of divergent promoters driving transcription of the trimethylamine N‐oxide (TMAO) sensor TorT and kinase TorS is integral to an O2‐regulated bet‐hedging strategy for continued E. coli growth upon the onset of anaerobiosis. This, along with repression by IscR, promotes noise in the TorS to TorT ratio, which is critical for adaptation ...

Incorporation of arabinose-CTP and arabinose-UTP inhibits viral polymerases by inducing long pauses

Journal of Biological Chemistry
Key to supporting human health in the face of evolving viruses is the development of novel antiviral drug scaffolds with the potential for broad inhibition of viral families. Nucleoside analogs are a key class of drugs that have demonstrated potential for the inhibition of several viral species.

Extending the Farquhar–von Caemmerer–Berry photosynthesis model to account for various photorespiratory bypasses

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
We extend a widely used C3‐photosynthesis model to account for various photorespiratory bypasses, thereby, providing a useful resource and framework that enforces future novel bypass work and scrutinize if the results go counter to theory. Our model analyses show that of the 17 published bypass pathways, full‐decarboxylating bypasses (that have been ...
