Zebrafish as a model for Catel–Manzke syndrome—identification and characterization of the zebrafish TGDS ortholog

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Zebrafish Tgds, when expressed as a recombinant protein, catalyzes the dehydration of UDP‐D‐glucose, the initial step in the formation of 6‐deoxyhexoses. Corresponding Tgds mutations found in Catel–Manzke syndrome patients lead to reduced enzymatic activity and stability.

Late Stage Mannan Metabolism in Cellvibrio japonicus Requires the Combined Action of a Mannosyl‐Glucose Phosphorylase and a Mannobiose Epimerase

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Model for the non‐PTS utilization of manno‐oligosaccharides by Cellvibrio japonicus. The Mgp130A and EpiA enzymes are essential for the utilization of mannose residues. ABSTRACT Manno‐oligosaccharides and their metabolism play important roles in gut health, pharmaceutical development, and renewable chemical production.

Galacturonosyltransferase 4 silencing alters pectin composition and carbon partitioning in tomato

, 2013
Pectin is a main component of the plant cell wall and is the most complex family of polysaccharides in nature. Its composition is essential for the normal growth and morphology pattern, as demonstrated by pectin-defective mutant phenotypes.

Metabolo‐Transcriptomics Analyses Reveal Alfalfa Adaptation to Combined Saline‐Alkali and Low‐Temperature Stress in the Field

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is known as the ‘King of Forage’ because of its high protein content and excellent palatability. Alfalfa productivity is adversely affected in cold regions with saline‐alkali soils. However, the mechanisms underlying the response of alfalfa to combined saline‐alkali and low‐temperature stress under field conditions

Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.

Phosphate Resupply Differentially Impacts the Shoot and Root Proteomes of Arabidopsis thaliana Seedlings

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phosphate (Pi) is an essential macronutrient for plant development that is often limited in soil. Plants have evolved dynamic biochemical, physiological and morphological adaptations to cope with Pi deficiency, known as the Pi starvation response (PSR).

Diversity and Ecological Potentials of Marine Viruses Inhabiting Continental Shelf Seas

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.
To the best of the knowledge, this study provides the largest viral genome dataset from a continental shelf sea. It reveals that over half of vOTUs are novel, highlighting the remarkable viral novelty in the eastern continental shelf seas of China (ECSSC).

Computational insights into carbohydrate epimerase mechanisms

, 2023
[eng] Carbohydrates, as the most abundant biomolecules, play a myriad of roles and functions in biological systems. Unlike the building blocks of proteins, amino acids, whose chemical structure can vary significantly, monosaccharides, the building blocks of carbohydrates, can exhibit small differences in their chemical structure that lead to a very ...

Biochemical Characterization of an Atypical Variant Flanking or Affecting the Initiation or Start Methionine Codon in CHST14 in a Patient With Musculocontractural Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome

Proteoglycan Research, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Musculocontractural Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome (EDS) caused by pathogenic variants in the carbohydrate sulfotransferase 14 gene (CHST14) (mcEDS‐CHST14) is an autosomal recessive connective tissue disorder characterized by congenital malformations including specific craniofacial features, congenital multiple contractures, and progressive fragility ...

Genomic and Phenotypic Bases of Salt Tolerance in Sinorhizobium meliloti: Candidate Traits for Bioinoculant Development Addressing Saline Soils

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.
Genome‐wide association analysis on 49 Sinorhizobium meliloti strains (21 de novo sequenced) reveals extensive phenotypic heterogeneity in salt tolerance, closely associated with quorum sensing, cell surface stability and adaptation. Salt‐tolerant strains exhibit a wider metabolic capacity, especially in carbon sources exploitation, underscoring their ...
