Phytase: application in food industry [PDF]

, 2010
Phytates have been considered as a threat in human diet due to its antinutrients behaviour which known as strong chelators of divalent minerals such as Ca²+, Mg²+, Zn²+ and Fe²+.

Proteasomal degradation of intracellularly expressed Amblyomin‐X limits suicide gene therapy potential in melanoma cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study explores the feasibility of expressing the antitumoral protein Amblyomin‐X through a suicide gene therapy approach and investigates its intracellular fate after gene delivery. Although the gene is efficiently expressed, melanoma cells rapidly degrade the Amblyomin‐X protein via proteasome activity.

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...

Safety and efficacy of APSA PHYTAFEED® (6‐phytase) as a feed additive for laying hens and other laying birds

EFSA Journal, 2020
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Additives and products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of APSA PHYTAFEED® 20,000 GR/L (6‐phytase) as a ...

Large‐scale bidirectional arrayed genetic screens identify OXR1 and EMC4 as modifiers of αSynuclein aggregation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

Analysis of black holes in our knowledge concerning animal health in the organic food production chain [PDF]

, 2003
Although a large body of research on health aspects can be found via the web or in conference proceedings, only few papers reach the peer reviewed literature.

Awareness and prevalence of mycotoxin contamination in selected Nigerian fermented foods [PDF]

, 2017
Fermented food samples (n = 191) including maize gruel (ogi), sorghum gruel (ogi-baba), melon seed (ogiri), locust bean (iru) and African oil bean seed (ugba) from Southwest Nigeria were quantified for 23 mycotoxins, including aflatoxin B-1 (AFB(1 ...

Suppression of lung adenocarcinoma migration through organelle alkalization by human lactoferrin – albumin fusion

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This paper reveals how human lactoferrin–albumin fusion (hLF‐HSA) potently suppresses lung adenocarcinoma cell migration. hLF‐HSA upregulates NHE7, leading to Golgi alkalization, disruption of the Golgi secretome, downregulation of MMP1, and reversal of EMT. These findings suggest a novel Golgi‐targeting strategy to suppress cancer cell migration.

Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of Danisco® Glycosidase TPT/L (endo‐1, 4‐beta‐xylanase and endo‐1, 3(4)‐beta‐glucanase) as feed additive for poultry, piglets and pigs for fattening

EFSA Journal, 2010
The additive Danisco® Glycosidase TPT/L is an enzyme preparation containing endo‐1, 4‐beta‐xylanase produced by a genetically modified strain of Trichoderma reesei and endo‐1, 3(4)‐beta‐glucanase produced by another strain of Trichoderma reesei.

Identifying transcription factors controlling the basal expression of human MRP4 highlights a substantial role for Sp1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The MRP4 transporter exports several drugs and signaling molecules. Here, we identified key promoter elements regulating basal MRP4 expression. Using reporter assays, we defined a conserved region with essential Sp1 and contributory Ets sites, which controlled basal MRP4 expression.
