Complex regulation of the aflatoxin biosynthesis gene cluster of Aspergillus flavus in relation to various combinations of water activity and temperature [PDF]

, 2009
A microarray analysis was performed to study the effect of varying combinations of water activity and temperature on the activation of aflatoxin biosynthesis genes in Aspergillus flavus grown on YES medium. Generally A.

Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Degradation Mechanisms in Solanaceous Vegetables: A Review

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018
Anthocyanins are a group of polyphenolic pigments that are ubiquitously found in the plant kingdom. In plants, anthocyanins play a role not only in reproduction, by attracting pollinators and seed dispersers, but also in protection against various ...

Regulatory Mechanisms of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Apple and Pear

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Anthocyanins contribute to the quality and flavour of fruits. They are produced through the phenylpropanoid pathway, which is regulated by specific key genes that have been identified in many species.

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.

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 ...

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.

Structures and functions of mitochondrial ABC transporters [PDF]

, 2015
A small number of physiologically important ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are found in mitochondria. Most are half transporters of the B group forming homodimers and their topology suggests they function as exporters.

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.
