Diversity and Evolution of the Phenazine Biosynthesis Pathway [PDF]

, 2010
Phenazines are versatile secondary metabolites of bacterial origin that function in biological control of plant pathogens and contribute to the ecological fitness and pathogenicity of the producing strains.

Environmental degradation of plastics containing pro-oxidant additives and their toxicological impact in desert ecosystems

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering
The accumulation of single-use plastic materials poses significant environmental and waste management challenges. Pro-oxidant additive-containing (PAC) plastics have been introduced in many regions to mitigate these impacts.

The role of the phosphopantetheinyltransferase enzyme, PswP, in the biosynthesis of antimicrobial secondary metabolites by Serratia marcescens Db10 [PDF]

, 2014
Phosphopantetheinyl transferase (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 ...

Puromycin A, B and C, cryptic nucleosides identified from Streptomyces alboniger NRRL B-1832 by PPtase-based activation

Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2018
Natural product discovery is pivot for drug development, however, this endeavor is often challenged by the wide inactivation or silence of natural products biosynthetic pathways.

Plant sterol metabolism with emphasis on glycoalkaloid biosynthesis in potato [PDF]

, 2007
Glycoalkaloids are secondary metabolites present within species of the family Solanaceae. They are toxic to humans and animals, and it is important to keep the levels in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers below the safe limit for consumption ...

A new type of DNA phosphorothioation-based antiviral system in archaea

Nature Communications, 2019
The prokaryote defence system Dnd relies on phosphorothioation (PT) of DNA backbone to distinguish between self and non-self DNA. Here, Xiong et al. describe a previously uncharacterized PT-based antiviral system that is independent of the canonical Dnd ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Functional analysis of the Lactococcus lactis galU and galE genes and their impact on sugar nucleotide and exopolysaccharide biosynthesis [PDF]

, 2001
We studied the UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (galU) and UDP-galactose epimerase (galE) genes of Lactococcus lactis MG1363 to investigate their involvement in biosynthesis of UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose, which are precursors of glucose- and galactose ...
