A Modular Nucleoside Kinase Cascade for the Synthesis of Ribonucleoside Triphosphates
Damm et al. report standardized enzymatic cascades for production of all canonical nucleoside triphosphates from the corresponding nucleosides, using kinase‐catalyzed phosphorylation from acetyl phosphate. Reactions afforded ∼ 100 mM product in near‐quantitative conversion.

Overview of MSG‐assisted GABA enrichment and associated changes in amino acid, fatty acid, and volatile metabolite profiles in germinated black highland barley. ABSTRACT γ‐Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a functional amino acid with multiple health benefits; however, the mechanism of its enrichment in black highland barley, particularly through precursor ...

De novo or Salvage? Nucleotide Availability as a Driver of Bacterial Adaptation and Virulence
Bacterial pathogens survive in different host environments by switching between making nucleotides by de novo synthesis and scavenging them from the host. This flexibility supports growth and virulence making nucleotide metabolism an attractive therapeutic target.

Nucleotide Metabolism in Health and Disease
Nucleotide metabolism, including de novo synthesis, salvage pathways, and catabolism, when dysregulated contributes to cancer, immune disorders, metabolic and urological diseases, and radiation injury. Metabolites such as adenosine, cGAMP, NAD, and cAMP and enzymes like RNR are promising therapeutic targets and biomarkers.

Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing

Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenases are key players for functional development in Arabidopsis
SUMMARY In plants, nucleotide de novo synthesis is required throughout development to provide building blocks for the synthesis of DNA, RNA and nucleotide‐derived cofactors. Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenases (IMPDH) are key enzymes in de novo guanylate synthesis.

Structural and functional characterization of cyclic pyrimidine-regulated anti-phage system
3’,5’-cyclic uridine monophosphate (cUMP) and 3’,5’-cyclic cytidine monophosphate (cCMP) have been established as bacterial second messengers in the phage defense system, named pyrimidine cyclase system for anti-phage resistance (Pycsar).
