The Effect of Recombinant Tags on Citrus paradisi Flavonol-Specific 3-O Glucosyltransferase Activity

Plants, 2020
Recombinant tags are used extensively in protein expression systems to allow purification through IMAC (Immobilized Metal Affinity Chromatography), identification through Western blot, and to facilitate crystal formation for structural analysis.

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

Cell wall glycosyltransferase of Streptococcus mutans impacts its dissemination to murine organs

Infection and Immunity
Streptococcus mutans, a cariogenic bacterium in humans, is associated with systemic disorders. Its cariogenic factors include glucosyltransferases (GTFs) and the glycosyltransferase rhamnose–glucose polysaccharide I (RgpI), which is involved in cell wall

Molecular Cloning and Functional Characterization of a Novel (Iso)flavone 4',7-O-diglucoside Glucosyltransferase from Pueraria lobata

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Pueraria lobata roots accumulate a rich source of isoflavonoid glycosides, including 7-O- and 4'-O-mono-glucosides, and 4',7-O-diglucosides, which have numerous human health benefits.

Mycotoxins‐contaminated wheat matrices bioconversion by Tenebrio molitor larvae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Larval development time, ADG, survival rate and substrate consumption were not negatively affected by the levels of mycotoxins contamination Larvae excreted most of the ingested DON and its derivatives through exuviae and frass The mycotoxin accumulation rates observed in larvae were always below the current legal limits for livestock feed Abstract ...

MAPK Inhibitor‐Tolerant Persister Cells in Melanoma: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Vulnerabilities

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Melanoma response to MAPK inhibition progresses from drug‐sensitive cells to drug‐tolerant persister states, which enable survival through adaptive signaling, metabolic rewiring, and phenotypic plasticity. These persister cells serve as an intermediate reservoir from which resistant tumors ultimately emerge. ABSTRACT Though major advancements have been

Molecular Characterization of an EMS-Induced Ab-γg-Rich Saponin Mutant in Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.)

Agronomy
Soybean is particularly known for accumulating saponins in its seeds. This study aimed to identify a causal gene to control an increase in Ab-γg saponin in PE1607 from an EMS-treated population of the soybean cultivar Pungsannamul.

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...
