Enhancement and Mechanism of Ergosterol Biosynthesis in Termite Ball Fungus Athelia termitophila by Methyl Jasmonate

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Ergosterol is a component of fungal cell membranes that has physiological functions and applications in drugs, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-fungal, and other immunosuppressive activities.

Molecular descriptor driven QSPR modeling of Papp, TEER and Efflux Ratio from Caco‐2 cells using machine learning for various phytochemicals

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The present study aimed to develop and validate quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) models for predicting permeability related bioavailability indicators including apparent permeability (Papp), trans‐epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and efflux ratio (ER) based on molecular descriptors (n = 5003) of 83 ...

Characterization of the transcription factor encoding gene, KlADR1: metabolic role in Kluyveromyces lactis and expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]

, 2016
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Adr1 is a zinc-finger transcription factor involved in the transcriptional activation of ADH2. Deletion of KlADR1, its putative ortholog in Kluyveromyces lactis, led to reduced growth in glycerol, oleate and yeast extract ...

RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

Phylogenetic distribution of fungal sterols. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Ergosterol has been considered the "fungal sterol" for almost 125 years; however, additional sterol data superimposed on a recent molecular phylogeny of kingdom Fungi reveals a different and more complex situation.

Shifts in leaf litter breakdown along a forest–pasture–urban gradient in Andean streams [PDF]

, 2016
Tropical montane ecosystems of the Andes are critically threatened by a rapid land-use change which can potentially affect stream variables, aquatic communities, and ecosystem processes such as leaf litter breakdown.

From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Development of a novel methodology for the analysis of ergosterol in mushrooms [PDF]

, 2014
Sterols are important molecules in the unsaponifiable fraction of several matrices. Ergosterol, which is an important vitamin D2 precursor, is clearly the main sterol in mushrooms.
