The ALG10 locus of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes the α-1,2 glucosyltransferase of the endoplasmic reticulum: the terminal glucose of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide is required for efficient N-linked glycosylation [PDF]
, 2017 The biosynthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide substrate for N-linked protein glycosylation follows a highly conserved pathway at the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Exploring the Phytochemical Landscape of the Early-Diverging Flowering Plant Amborella trichopoda Baill. [PDF]
, 2019 Although the evolutionary significance of the early-diverging flowering plant Amborella (Amborella trichopoda Baill.) is widely recognized, its metabolic landscape, particularly specialized metabolites, is currently underexplored.

Structural analyses of ABA transporters give new impetus to the study of ABA regulation
Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates key physiological processes and coordinates abiotic stress responses. In the six decades since it was first described, a huge amount of work has been conducted on ABA synthesis, breakdown and signalling mechanisms. Recently, attention has been turned to the role of ABA transporters, and the elucidation in exquisite detail ...

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Visual cues are of critical importance for the attraction of animal pollinators, however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underpinning intraspecific floral colour variation. Here, we combined comparative spectral analysis, targeted metabolite profiling, multi‐tissue transcriptomics, differential gene expression, sequence ...

Purification and kinetic analysis of a baculovirus ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1998 The baculovirus ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase (EGT) disrupts the hormonal balance of the insect host by catalysing the conjugation of ecdysteroids, the moulting hormones, with the sugar moiety from UDP-glucose or UDP-galactose. In this study, Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus EGT has been overproduced and purified, and its kinetic ...

Evolution of petal patterning: blooming floral diversity at the microscale
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary The flowers of angiosperms are extraordinarily diverse. While most floral variation is visible to the naked eye, this diversity goes beyond the macroscale: Floral organs comprise an underappreciated range of cell types that generate a multitude of patterns across their surfaces and give rise to novel structures.
