Multi-omic analysis reveals genes and proteins integral to bioactivity of Echinochrome A isolated from the waste stream of the sea urchin industry in Aotearoa New Zealand. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrThe mechanism of action of Echinochrome A (Ech A) was evaluated using unbiased genomic and proteomic analyses. Growth analyses of gene deletions and measurements of protein abundance identified the importance of 20 genes and 92 proteins. The antioxidant activity of Ech A may begin with alterations in DNA replication, followed by iron chelation and ...
