Does abscisic acid affect strigolactone biosynthesis? [PDF]
Strigolactones are considered a novel class of plant hormones that, in addition to their endogenous signalling function, are exuded into the rhizosphere acting as a signal to stimulate hyphal branching of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and germination

Sphingoid base structures, the sphingolipid backbones, vary among species. We established yeast cells in which the native sphingoid base was replaced with plant‐type bases containing cis or trans double bonds. This is, to our knowledge, the first eukaryotic model mostly composed of sphingolipids containing cis‐unsaturated sphingoid base, providing a ...

Efficient biosynthesis of heterodimeric C3-aryl pyrroloindoline alkaloids
The hexahydropyrrolo[2, 3-b]indole (HPI) framework is found in many natural products. Here, the authors discover a P450 enzyme and develop a whole-cell biocatalysis system that produces the HPI naseseazine C (NAS-C) and 30 NAS-C analogs, several of which

Pathological convergence of APP and SNCA deficiency in hippocampal degeneration of young rats
The common pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been supported by biochemical, genetic and molecular evidence. Mitochondrial dysfunction is considered to be the common pathology in early AD and PD.

The role of the phosphopantetheinyltransferase enzyme, PswP, in the biosynthesis of antimicrobial secondary metabolites by Serratia marcescens Db10 [PDF]
Phosphopantetheinyltransferase (PPTase) enzymes fulfil essential roles in primary and secondary metabolism in prokaryotes, archaea and eukaryotes. PPTase enzymes catalyse the essential modification of the carrier protein domain of fatty acid synthases ...

Regulation of Lignin Biosynthesis and Its Role in Growth-Defense Tradeoffs
Plant growth-defense tradeoffs are fundamental for optimizing plant performance and fitness in a changing biotic/abiotic environment. This process is thought to involve readjusting resource allocation to different pathways.

Microbial profile of the appendix niche in acute appendicitis: a novel sampling approach
This study utilized a novel sampling method, ERAT (i.e. endoscopic retrograde appendicitis treatment)‐guided lumen aspiration, to obtain samples from the appendix, and shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed for in situ characterization of the appendix microbiome in patients with acute appendicitis.

Carbocations and the Complex Flavor and Bouquet of Wine: Mechanistic Aspects of Terpene Biosynthesis in Wine Grapes. [PDF]
Computational chemistry approaches for studying the formation of terpenes/terpenoids in wines are presented, using five particular terpenes/terpenoids (1,8-cineole, α-ylangene, botrydial, rotundone, and the wine lactone), volatile compounds (or their ...
