The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Interactions between bacteria and the extracellular matrix are a prerequisite for colonisation and infection. Phylogenetically diverse M proteins of group A Streptococcus (GAS) can selectively bind sulfated glycosaminoglycans with high affinity. M protein‐mediated recruitment of chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate was shown to increase GAS ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary One‐carbon (C1) metabolism, centered on the universal methyl donor S‐adenosyl methionine (SAM), plays critical roles in biosynthesis, redox regulation, and stress responses across plants and microbes. A recently proposed photosynthetic C1 pathway links SAM methyl groups directly to RuBisCO‐mediated CO2 assimilation and integrates with nitrogen ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.Summary Biofortification of staple crops is a sustainable strategy to deliver essential micronutrients to impoverished populations in developing countries. Banana is a highly valued crop consumed by over 75% of Ugandans. However, the starchy green cooking bananas have very low levels of pro‐vitamin A (PVA) and heavy dietary reliance on them has been ...

Complex engineering of Solanum alkaloids structural diversity in Nicotiana benthamiana
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.Summary Transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana offers a powerful and versatile platform for rapid production of complex specialized metabolites. Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) and steroidal saponins produced by members of the Solanaceae family are known for their diverse structures and activities including antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral ...

Unveiling the catalytical roles of three glycosyltransferases in triterpenoid saponins in quinoa
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.Summary Saponins constitute a class of characteristic compounds within quinoa grains. In this study, metabolomic analysis identified 20 triterpene saponins, the majority of which were exclusively localized within the pericarp. Furthermore, three crucial glycosyltransferases were identified in quinoa.
