Synthesis, function, and genetic variation of sorgoleone, the major biological nitrification inhibitor in sorghum

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract Sorghum is the third most important food crop, grown on nearly 40 million ha globally, and is known for its resilience under unfavorable conditions. Sorghum is reported to have a strong biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) capacity in root systems, a plant function that suppresses soil nitrifier activity, which in turn prevents the ...

Loss of Cln3 function in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum causes pleiotropic effects that are rescued by human CLN3.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are a group of inherited, severe neurodegenerative disorders also known as Batten disease. Juvenile NCL (JNCL) is caused by recessive loss-of-function mutations in CLN3, which encodes a transmembrane protein that ...

Conserved valproic-acid-induced lipid droplet formation in Dictyostelium and human hepatocytes identifies structurally active compounds

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2012
SUMMARY Lipid droplet formation and subsequent steatosis (the abnormal retention of lipids within a cell) has been reported to contribute to hepatotoxicity and is an adverse effect of many pharmacological agents including the antiepileptic drug valproic ...

Dictyostelium cells migrate similarly on surfaces of varying chemical composition. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
During cell migration, cell-substrate binding is required for pseudopod anchoring to move the cell forward, yet the interactions with the substrate must be sufficiently weak to allow parts of the cell to de-adhere in a controlled manner during typical ...

A Cytohesin Homolog in Dictyostelium Amoebae

PLoS ONE, 2010
Dictyostelium, an amoeboid motile cell, harbors several paralogous Sec7 genes that encode members of three distinct subfamilies of the Sec7 superfamily of Guanine nucleotide exchange factors. Among them are proteins of the GBF/BIG family present in all eukaryotes. The third subfamily represented with three members in D.

Hisactophilin is involved in osmoprotection in Dictyostelium [PDF]

BMC Biochemistry, 2002
Dictyostelium cells exhibit an unusual stress response as they protect themselves against hyperosmotic stress. Cytoskeletal proteins are recruited from the cytosolic pool to the cell cortex, thereby reinforcing it. In order to gain more insight into the osmoprotective mechanisms of this amoeba, we used 1-D and 2-D gel electrophoresis to identify new ...

Light Affects Host‐Symbiont Dynamics in the Non‐Photosynthetic Social Amoeba Symbiosis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
This study highlights light‐regulated symbiosis between amoebae and two distinct Paraburkholderia species, indicating that light may be crucial for regulating amoebae‐symbiont dynamics. ABSTRACT Light significantly influences phototactic behaviors and host‐bacterial interactions of photosynthetic microorganisms such as algae.

Evaluation of stochastic effects on biomolecular networks using the generalised Nyquist stability criterion [PDF]

, 2008
—Stochastic differential equations are now commonly used to model biomolecular networks in systems biology, and much recent research has been devoted to the development of methods to analyse their stability properties.

α/β Hydrolases: Toward Unraveling Entangled Classification

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 93, Issue 4, Page 855-870, April 2025.
ABSTRACT α/β Hydrolase‐like enzymes form a large and functionally diverse superfamily of proteins. Despite retaining a conserved structural core consisting of an eight‐stranded, central β‐sheet flanked with six α‐helices, they display a modular architecture allowing them to perform a variety of functions, like esterases, lipases, peptidases, epoxidases,

Statistical inference of the mechanisms driving collective cell movement [PDF]

, 2017
Numerous biological processes, many impacting on human health, rely on collective cell movement. We develop nine candidate models, based on advection-diffusion partial differential equations, to describe various alternative mechanisms that may drive ...
