Functional genomics of a symbiotic community : shared traits in the olive fruit fly gut microbiota [PDF]
, 2019 The olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae is a major pest of olives worldwide and houses a specialized gut microbiota dominated by the obligate symbiont “Candidatus Erwinia dacicola”. Ca. E. dacicola is thought to supplement dietary nitrogen to the host, with

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 12, Page 3041-3055, June 2025.Recent studies show that Ni0 catalyzes amino acid synthesis from 2‐oxoacids via reductive amination. We show that the cofactor pyridoxal is reductively aminated to pyridoxamine, the NH2‐transferring intermediate of transaminations, with NH3 (~ 5 mm) and H2 (5 bar) on Ni0 catalysts within hours in water under serpentinizing hydrothermal vent conditions (

How eriophyid mites shape metal metabolism in leaf galls on Tilia cordata
New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 2222-2242, June 2025.Summary Metal metabolism in plant–galler interactions is largely unknown. We hypothesise that the mites manipulate metal distribution by sequestration of excessive levels and differential regulation of metalloproteins to support the main functions of gall‐nutrition, protection and microenvironment.

Muscle carnosine metabolism and β-alanine supplementation in relation to exercise and training [PDF]
, 2010 Carnosine is a dipeptide with a high concentration in mammalian skeletal muscle. It is synthesized by carnosine synthase from the amino acids L-histidine and beta-alanine, of which the latter is the rate-limiting precursor, and degraded by carnosinase ...

Regulation of Arginine Metabolism and Ethanol Tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by BTN2
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2025.The impact of BTN2 modified strains on key metabolites, enzymes, and gene expression in the arginine metabolic pathway was investigated. BTN2 knock out strain was found to reduce arginine uptake and promote arginine and urea degradation. BTN2 was found to enhance ethanol tolerance and reduce ethanol‐induced oxidative damage.

Biological Channeling of a Reactive Intermediate in the Bifunctional Enzyme DmpFG
, 2016 It has been hypothesized that the bifunctional enzyme DmpFG channels its intermediate, acetaldehyde, from one active site to the next using a buried intermolecular channel identified in the crystal structure.

Metabolic Dialogue Shapes Immune Response in the Tumor Microenvironment
European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 4, April 2025.Metabolic antagonism in the TME suppresses CD8+ T cell function by depleting essential nutrients and generating toxic byproducts. Metabolic symbiosis between tumor cells and TAMs fosters an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Disrupting metabolic interactions can overcome immune suppression, boost antitumor immunity, and enhance immunotherapy efficacy.
