Pyrophosphate and Irreversibility in Evolution, or why PPi Is Not an Energy Currency and why Nature Chose Triphosphates

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The possible evolutionary significance of pyrophosphate (PPi) has been discussed since the early 1960s. Lipmann suggested that PPi could have been an ancient currency or a possible environmental source of metabolic energy at origins, while Kornberg ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

From local chemical evolution to cosmic chemical evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
My scientific life with Keith began about twenty five years ago with the study of the chemical evolution of light elements :cosmological elements D, He3, He4 and Li7 and spallative elements, LiBeB.

Refueling the Magic Furnace: Kilonova 2017 Rewrites the Story of Element Origins

open access: yesJournal of Big History, 2018
For more than half a century, we have understood element creation in the stars—described in Marcus Chown’s colorful image as “the magic furnace.” From 1958 until 2017, supernova explosions were thought to be the primary site of element creation above ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Chemical evolution with inhibited star formation rate

open access: yes, 1981
A simple model of galactic chemical evolution is developed which is based on a nonmonotonic variation of the rates of formation of stars of mass less than about 1 solar mass, and consequences of the inhibition of star formation are examined.

A Novel Non-Alcoholic Einkorn-Based Beverage Produced by Lactic Acid Fermentation: Microbiological, Chemical, and Sensory Assessment

open access: yesFoods
Einkorn (Triticum monococcum L. ssp. monococcum) is gaining renewed interest for its high nutritional value and digestibility. Lactic acid fermentation could enhance these properties by improving micronutrient bioavailability, sensory properties, and ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

The chemical evolution of the Bulge

open access: yes, 2019
I will discuss the chemical evolution of the Galactic Bulge in the light of recent spectroscopic observations. I will analyse the existence of two main stellar populations in the Bulge and their possible origin and timescales of formation.
