Biochemical and structural characterization of a tail‐spike protein with depolymerase activity identified in a marine podovirus

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 785-799, July 2026.
The marine tail‐spike protein Dpo31 degrades the exopolysaccharide of its host and has structural features similar to those of other members of this protein class, despite similarity not being detected at the sequence level.Marine phages are, through the infection of their bacterial hosts, key regulators of microbiome and carbon fluxes in the ocean ...

Rhamnogalacturonan‐II Dimerisation Reinforces Salt Resistance in Sugar Beet

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3082-3100, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Salinity stress predominantly affects negatively charged cell wall polymers, for example, pectin. Excess Na+ ions interact physically and affect growth in stress‐sensitive plants. However, the salinity resistance of sugar beet cell walls remains unclear.

Green Proteins: A Sustainable Alternative to Animal‐Based Proteins for Global Protein Security

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study highlights the drawbacks associated with animal‐based proteins, such as their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, large‐scale land use, and worsening food insecurity. It suggests that green sources of proteins, including legumes, grains, seeds, leaves, and algae, are possible sustainable alternatives. Shifting towards these plant‐based

AGP and EXO‐LIKE genes promote brassinosteroid‐dependent anisotropic growth

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2384-2398, May 2026.
Summary The brassinosteroid pathway promotes anisotropic cell expansion; however, the effectors in this process remain unclear. Candidates include ARABINOGALACTAN PROTEIN (AGP) genes, which are prominent brassinosteroid‐responsive transcriptional targets, and EXORDIUM (EXO)‐LIKE (EXL) genes.

Sulfated galactans ameliorate the cellular senescence in dermal fibroblast cells

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
Replicative senescence of dermal fibroblast is the primary mechanism of intrinsic skin aging. Recent research has focused on the different properties of sulfated galactans (SG) derived from the red seaweed Gracilaria fisheri.
