Old player, new roles: defining the role of the plastidial phosphorylase

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 4, Page 1622-1632, August 2025.
Summary The plastidial phosphorylase (Pho1 or Phs1; E.C. 2.4.1.1) is a ubiquitous enzyme among plants that catalyzes the formation and degradation of glucans. Although the first report connecting Pho1 with starch metabolism came out > 80 years ago, its precise role is still a matter of debate.

Bacterial toxins modifying the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]

, 2010
Numerous bacterial toxins recognize the actin cytoskeleton as a target. The clostridial binary toxins (Iota and C2 families) ADP-ribosylate the actin monomers causing the dissociation of the actin filaments.

Unraveling Dowling–Degos Disease: A Rare Skin Disorder

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Dowling–Degos disease (DDD) is a rare genodermatosis characterized by brown to black macules distributed symmetrically in the axilla, groin, elbow, face, neck, and trunk. It is more common in women, usually after puberty. The main pathogenesis behind DDD is a mutation in the keratin 5 gene.

Identification, Molecular Cloning, and Functional Characterization of a Wheat UDP-Glucosyltransferase Involved in Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight and to Mycotoxin Accumulation

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plant uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucosyltransferases (UGT) catalyze the glucosylation of xenobiotic, endogenous substrates and phytotoxic agents produced by pathogens such as mycotoxins.

Phase Separation Regulates Metabolism, Mitochondria, and Diseases

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2025.
Mitochondrion‐related liquid–liquid phase separation. (1) Phase separation mediates the self‐assembly of mitochondrial nucleoids (mt‐nucleoids). (2) Phase segregation mediates the formation of mitochondrial RNA granules (MRGs). (3) Phase separation mediates the formation of mitochondrial degradosomes.

Extraction and Reglucosylation of Barbarea vulgaris Sapogenins

Bio-Protocol, 2013
Plants produce a vast array of natural compounds. Many of them are not commercially available, and are thus lacking to be tested as substrates for enzymes. This protocol describes the extraction and acidic hydrolysis of metabolites from Barbarea vulgaris

High-velocity microsprays enhance antimicrobial activity in S. mutans biofilms

, 2016
Streptococcus mutans in dental plaque biofilms play a role in caries development. The biofilm’s complex structure enhances the resistance to antimicrobial agents by limiting the transport of active agents inside the biofilm.
