Structural Enzymology of Cellvibrio japonicus Agd31B Protein Reveals α-Transglucosylase Activity in Glycoside Hydrolase Family 31 [PDF]
The metabolism of the storage polysaccharides glycogen and starch is of vital importance to organisms from all domains of life. In bacteria, utilization of these -glucans requires the concerted action of a variety of enzymes, including glycoside ...

From Stress to Success: Strategies for Improving Heat Tolerance in Wheat
ABSTRACT Wheat, a major staple crop, is critical for global food security. However, abiotic stresses, particularly heat stress, threaten crop productivity. With climate change predicted to increase temperatures by around 1.5°C by 2050, crop productivity could be severely affected.

Lactate: brain fuel in human traumatic brain injury: a comparison with normal healthy control subjects. [PDF]
We evaluated the hypothesis that lactate shuttling helps support the nutritive needs of injured brains. To that end, we utilized dual isotope tracer [6,6-(2)H2]glucose, that is, D2-glucose, and [3-(13)C]lactate techniques involving arm vein tracer ...

Abstract Glycophagy is the autophagic degradation of glycogen by the enzyme acid alpha‐glucosidase (GAA). Although GAA inhibitors improve metabolic health by inhibiting GAA in the intestine, it is not clear if GAA inhibition in peripheral tissues such as the liver is metabolically beneficial. This study tested if the heterozygous knockout of GAA (HetKO‐

Label-free and redox proteomic analyses of the triacylglycerol-accumulating Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 [PDF]
The bacterium Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 synthesizes large amounts of triacylglycerols (TAG) under conditions of nitrogen starvation. To better understand the molecular mechanisms behind this process, we performed proteomic studies in this oleaginous ...

Deubiquitinases as novel therapeutic targets for diseases
Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) are crucial for cellular homeostasis, modulating ubiquitination by removing ubiquitin or cleaving ubiquitin chains. With about 100 types in humans, DUBs balance the activity of E3 ubiquitin ligases, ensuring proteostasis and responses to stress.

Factors influencing glycogen branching enzyme activity in mouse liver [PDF]
Glycogen is the storage polysaccharide in a spectrum of organisms ranging from yeast to humans. Glycogen has a highly branched structure somewhat resembling a tree or shrub, with the branch points formed by glucose molecules being joined by α 1,6 ...
