Research Progress of Glucansucrase from Lactic Acid Bacteria

Shipin gongye ke-ji
Glucansucrase (EC.2.4.5.1) is a class of α-glucosyltransferases, mainly produced by lactic acid bacteria such as Leuconostoc, Streptococcus and Lactobacillus. The structure and catalytic mechanism of glucansucrase are diverse, and it is an important tool

Sinapoylglucose: malate sinapoyltransferase SNG1 negatively regulates drought resistance by crosstalk with abscisic acid signaling in Arabidopsis

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
SUMMARY Drought stress has a profound impact on yield, with massive repercussions for agricultural production. In addition to ABA, the central hormone controlling the plant response to drought, secondary metabolites also play important functions in drought stress; however, the precise nature of their roles is still obscure. Metabolomics analysis of ABA‐

A plant‐centric view of class B flavin‐dependent monooxygenase evolution and diversity

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
SUMMARY Flavin‐dependent monooxygenases (FMOs) are ancient enzymes present throughout all kingdoms of life. FMOs utilize flavin‐based cofactors to incorporate an oxygen atom into their substrate, altering its chemical properties. Class B FMOs are enriched throughout the plant kingdom, catalyzing essential reactions for plant development and defense ...

Harnessing two UDP‐glycosyltransferases from Saponaria officinalis toward heterologous production of endosomal escape enhancer saponins in Gypsophila elegans hairy roots

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 6, September 2026.
SUMMARY Soapwort (Saponaria officinalis) synthesizes a vast repertoire of specialized metabolites with bioactive properties. Among those, a specific type of highly glycosylated oleanane‐derived triterpenoid saponins has potential applications in the pharmaceutical industry due to their anticancer activity and enhancement of endosomal escape for ...

Reactive Oxygen Species as Additional Determinants for Cytotoxicity of Clostridium difficile Toxins A and B

Toxins, 2016
Clostridium difficile infections can induce mild to severe diarrhoea and the often associated characteristic pseudomembranous colitis. Two protein toxins, the large glucosyltransferases TcdA and TcdB, are the main pathogenicity factors that can induce ...

SARD1 and CBP60g redundantly regulate N‐hydroxypipecolic acid‐ and salicylic acid‐dependent systemic immunity but are dispensable for the activation of indolic defense metabolism

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 6, September 2026.
SUMMARY We investigated the roles of the cognate, redundantly acting transcription factors SARD1 and CPB60g in the metabolic reprogramming of leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana suffering from bacterial infection or UV light exposure. Comprehensive metabolite analyses reveal that SARD1/CBP60g exert distinct influences on major stress‐inducible metabolic ...

Exopolysaccharides of Streptococcus mutans Enhance Oral Colonisation and Drug Tolerance in Helicobacter pylori

International Dental Journal
Introduction and aims: The oral cavity is an extragastric reservoir for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), preventing its gastric eradication and causing recurrence. However, the oral environment is not ideal for H.

Out of the blue: family‐wide loss of anthocyanin biosynthesis in Cucurbitaceae

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 6, September 2026.
Significance Statement Anthocyanins are nearly universal plant pigments, making their evolutionary loss unexpected. Phylogenomics across Cucurbitaceae reveals the consistent absence of key structural and regulatory genes in the anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin pathways, indicating a family‐wide pathway loss. We propose Cucurbitaceae as a ‘natural knock‐

The telomere‐to‐telomere gap‐free reference genome and DNA methylome unveil epigenetic regulation of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis during apricot fruit development

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 6, September 2026.
SUMMARY Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) is an economically significant fruit crop worldwide with remarkable germplasm diversity, and its fruit quality is primarily determined by key metabolites (e.g., sugars, organic acids, and flavonoids). However, current apricot genome assemblies remain incomplete, with substantial unanchored regions that hamper ...
