Arsenite methyltransferase 3 is required for mitochondrial function and hepatic lipid metabolism
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.AS3MT is a protein that helps the body process arsenic, a naturally occurring toxin found in water and soil. We discovered it also helps cells make and use energy properly. Without AS3MT, cells' mitochondria do not work well, leading to fatty liver and reduced activity. Increasing AS3MT in liver cells restores energy and protects against arsenic damage,

UbiB proteins mediate an ATP‐dependent decarboxylation step in bacterial ubiquinone biosynthesis
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.UbiB proteins are atypical protein kinase‐like enzymes essential for ubiquinone biosynthesis. Here, we demonstrate that bacterial UbiB proteins catalyze the O2‐dependent decarboxylation of ubiquinone precursors, a process linked to their ATPase activity.

Natural distribution and occurrence of coenzyme Q homologues.
, 1990 The knowledge of coenzyme Q levels in tissues, organs, and subcellular compartments is of outstanding interest. A wide amount of data regarding coenzyme Q distribution and occurrence was collected in the last decades; nevertheless the data are often hard

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?
Immunology, EarlyView.Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Allelic variation in the promoter of the pyridoxal phosphate synthase OsPDX1.2 caused variation in the ACE‐box cis‐elements, resulting in differing OsPDX1.2 expression due to differences in binding affinity between the OsbZIP18 transcriptipn factor and the ACE‐box, contributing to variation in vitamin B6 levels and cold tolerance among rice varieties ...

The Role of Oxidative Stress in Periodontitis
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.Oxidative stress is involved in multiple chemical reactions that take place in different intracellular organelles: mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, autophagy, and aging, and can be influenced by exogenous factors: nutrition, physical activity, psychological status, environmental conditions, microbiome, and drugs.

Embryonal degreening and seed longevity require plastid LEA proteins
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Working model of how plastidial LEA proteins aid the remodelling of photosynthetic structures during degreening of Arabidopsis seed embryos. LEA42 and LEA48 support thylakoid proteostasis and membrane remodelling in embryonal cells during late seed maturation by maintaining a local physicochemical environment compatible with protein turnover and ...

Metabolic Rewiring of the Shikimate Pathway Enables Rose‐Scented Rice
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rice fragrance is a key determinant of grain quality, yet the aroma profile of cultivated rice is highly uniform and largely dominated by the popcorn‐like compound 2‐acetyl‐1‐pyrroline. Here we expanded the aromatic repertoire of rice by engineering a rose‐like fragrance through reconstruction of the phenylalanine‐derived 2‐phenylethanol (2‐PE)

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nitro‐fatty acids (NO2‐FAs) are potent electrophiles that react with nucleophilic residues in proteins (cysteines, histidines and lysines) via a process known as nitroalkylation. This reversible post‐translational modification (PTM) functions as a selective signalling mechanism by modulating the structure, transport, and catalysis of target ...
