Ameliorative effect of orally administered different linoleic acid/α-linolenic acid ratios in a mouse model of DNFB-induced atopic dermatitis

Journal of Functional Foods, 2020
The present research was designed to evaluate the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of different ratios of linoleic acid (LA) and α-linolenic acid (ALA), two essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) fatty acids, on atopic dermatitis (AD ...

Genome mining in Trichoderma viride J1-030: discovery and identification of novel sesquiterpene synthase and its products

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2019
Sesquiterpene synthases in Trichoderma viride have been seldom studied, despite the efficiency of filamentous fungi for terpenoid production. Using the farnesyl diphosphate-overexpressing Saccharomyces cerevisiae platform to produce diverse terpenoids ...

4-Coumarate 3-hydroxylase in the lignin biosynthesis pathway is a cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase

Nature Communications, 2019
Lignin biosynthesis is evolutionarily conserved among higher plants and features a critical 3-hydroxylation reaction involving phenolic esters. However, increasing evidence questions the involvement of a single pathway to lignin formation in vascular ...

The Regulation of Cellulose Biosynthesis in Plants

The Plant Cell, 2019
Recent findings reveal how plants regulate cellulose biosynthesis. Cell walls define the shape of plant cells, controlling the extent and orientation of cell elongation, and hence organ growth.

Beneficial effects of anthocyanins from red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L.) administration to prevent irinotecan-induced mucositis

Journal of Functional Foods, 2017
Intestinal mucositis is a common side effect of Irinotecan (CPT-11). Anthocyanins (ACs) from red cabbage against CPT-11-induced mucositis were studied. Mice were given CPT-11 (75 mg/kg, i.p. for 4 days) and treated with ACs (50, 100 mg/kg, i.g.

Characterization of a SAM-dependent fluorinase from a latent biosynthetic pathway for fluoroacetate and 4-fluorothreonine formation in Nocardia brasiliensis [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/2tz]

F1000Research, 2014
Fluorination has been widely used in chemical synthesis, but is rare in nature. The only known biological fluorination scope is represented by the fl pathway from Streptomyces cattleya that produces fluoroacetate (FAc) and 4-fluorothreonine (4-FT).

Discovery of the cryptic function of terpene cyclases as aromatic prenyltransferases

Nature Communications, 2020
Terpene cyclases catalyze the formation of diverse hydrocarbon scaffolds found in terpenoids. Here, the authors report the cryptic function of class I terpene cyclases as aromatic prenyltransferases and the universality of this cryptic feature is ...

Discovery and characterization of the tubercidin biosynthetic pathway from Streptomyces tubercidicus NBRC 13090

Microbial Cell Factories, 2018
Background Tubercidin (TBN), an adenosine analog with potent antimycobacteria and antitumor bioactivities, highlights an intriguing structure, in which a 7-deazapurine core is linked to the ribose moiety by an N-glycosidic bond.

A MYB/bHLH complex regulates tissue-specific anthocyanin biosynthesis in the inner pericarp of red-centered kiwifruit Actinidia chinensis cv. Hongyang.

The Plant Journal, 2019
Many Actinidia cultivars are characterized by anthocyanin accumulation, specifically in the inner pericarp, but the underlying regulatory mechanism remains elusive.
