Hexokinase and Glucokinases Are Essential for Fitness and Virulence in the Pathogenic Yeast Candida albicans

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The pathogenic yeast Candida albicans is both a powerful commensal and a pathogen of humans that can infect wide range of organs and body sites. Metabolic flexibility promotes infection and commensal colonization by this opportunistic pathogen.

Modelling the effects of osmotic stress on tomato fruit development [PDF]

, 2017
Whereas most high-tech tomato greenhouses focus primarily on high production yields, consumers prefer a higher quality product. Dry matter content is one of the key factors determining fruit quality, and is known to be substantially influenced by ...

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.

The N‐Glycome to Differentiate Mesenchymal Stem Cells Upon Chondrogenic Differentiation, Dedifferentiation, and Senescence

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells able to self‐renewal or differentiation into different cell types, including chondrocytes. N‐Glycans are post‐translational modifications of glycoproteins that contribute to vital cell functions.

Discovery of Serotransferrin Glycoforms: Novel Markers for Diagnosis of Liver Periductal Fibrosis and Prediction of Cholangiocarcinoma. [PDF]

, 2019
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) caused by chronic liver fluke infection is a major public health problem in Northeast Thailand. Identification of CCA risk groups is urgently needed for the control of CCA in this region.

Life cycle studies of the hexose transporter of Plasmodium species and genetic validation of their essentiality

Molecular Microbiology, 2010
A Plasmodium falciparum hexose transporter (PfHT) has previously been shown to be a facilitative glucose and fructose transporter. Its expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes and the use of a glucose analogue inhibitor permitted chemical validation of PfHT ...

Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production

Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.

Regional differences in brain glucose metabolism determined by imaging mass spectrometry

Molecular Metabolism, 2018
Objective: Glucose is the major energy substrate of the brain and crucial for normal brain function. In diabetes, the brain is subject to episodes of hypo- and hyperglycemia resulting in acute outcomes ranging from confusion to seizures, while chronic ...

CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Engineering in Non‐Conventional Oleaginous Yeasts: Applications, Challenges, and Prospects

Yeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given the biotechnological potential of yeast‐derived oils for oleochemical production, genes encoding lipid metabolism enzymes are key targets for metabolic engineering. Genetic engineering tools such as Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9, Transcription Activator‐Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs), Zinc ...
