Uneven distribution of cobamide biosynthesis and dependence in bacteria predicted by comparative genomics. [PDF]
, 2019 The vitamin B12 family of cofactors known as cobamides are essential for a variety of microbial metabolisms. We used comparative genomics of 11,000 bacterial species to analyze the extent and distribution of cobamide production and use across bacteria ...

Tocopherol and plastoquinone synthesis in spinach chloroplasts subfractions [PDF]
, 1980 Subfractions isolated from intact purified spinach chloroplasts are able to prenylate the aromatic moiety of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 precursors. The biosynthesis of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 is a compartmentalized process.

Boundaries of photosynthesis: adaptations of carbon fixation in extreme environments
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Photosynthesis faces challenges from environmental extremes of temperature, pH, and salinity, limiting gas diffusion, modifying membrane fluidity, and destabilizing photochemical and biochemical reactions. Photosynthetic organisms have evolved unique adaptations overcoming these stresses and maintaining their photosynthetic activity.

Evolution of the genetic code. Why are there strong and weak letter doublets? The first gene, the first protein. Early (ancient) biosynthesis of protein [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 The idea of the evolution of the genetic code from the CG to the CGUA alphabet has been developed further. The assumption of the originally triplet structure of the genetic code has been substantiated. The hypothesis of the emergence of stop codons at the early stage of the evolution of the genetic code has been additionally supported. The existence of

The effects of estrogen on targeted cancer therapy drugs
Pharmacological Research, 2022 Improving the efficacy of anticancer drugs is especially challenging. Estrogen is a sex hormone that not only promotes the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, but also supports many important physiological functions.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The inactivation of SLC35C1 (GDP‐fucose transporter) and enzymes involved in GDP‐fucose biosynthesis was studied. Fucose supplementation increases the level of GDP‐fucose to abnormal, millimolar values in the absence of the TSTA3 protein and SLC35C1 in contrast to the GMDS/SLC35C1 double mutant.

Identifying prognostic targets in metastatic prostate cancer beyond AR
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Genome‐wide functional screens combined with a large gene expression database and clinical outcomes can identify new therapeutic vulnerabilities in prostate cancer. Eight potentially druggable targets demonstrated strong dependency in cell lines, were associated with worse prognosis clinically, and showed evidence of protein expression in prostate ...
