Heterologous Expression of a Bioactive β-Hexosyltransferase, an Enzyme Producer of Prebiotics, from Sporobolomyces singularis [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013 ABSTRACTGalacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are indigestible dietary fibers that are able to reach the lower gastrointestinal tract to be selectively fermented by health-promoting bacteria. In this report, we describe the heterologous expression of an optimized synthetically produced version of the β-hexosyltransferase gene (Bht) fromSporobolomyces ...

Biochemical and Biophysical Characterization of the Sialyl-/Hexosyltransferase Synthesizing the Meningococcal Serogroup W135 Heteropolysaccharide Capsule [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013 Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis and sepsis. Crucial virulence determinants of pathogenic Nm strains are the polysaccharide capsules that support invasion by hindering complement attack. In NmW-135 and NmY the capsules are built from the repeating units (→ 6)-α-D-Gal-(1 → 4)-α-Neu5Ac-(2 →)n and (→ 6)-α-D-Glc-(1 → 4)

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 175, Issue 6, November/December 2023., 2023 Abstract Drought is a major abiotic stress that impairs the physiology and development of plants, ultimately leading to crop yield losses. Drought tolerance is a complex quantitative trait influenced by multiple genes and metabolic pathways. However, molecular intricacies and subsequent morphological and physiological changes in response to drought ...

New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 5, Page 2080-2098, June 2023., 2023 Summary Glycosyltransferases are nature's versatile tools to tailor the functionalities of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and small molecules by transferring sugars. Prominent substrates are hydroxycoumarins such as scopoletin, which serve as natural plant protection agents.

A spatiotemporal transcriptomic network dynamically modulates stalk development in maize
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 20, Issue 12, Page 2313-2331, December 2022., 2022 Summary Maize (Zea mays) is an important cereal crop with suitable stalk formation which is beneficial for acquiring an ideal agronomic trait to resist lodging and higher planting density. The elongation pattern of stalks arises from the variable growth of individual internodes driven by cell division and cell expansion comprising the maize stalk ...

Unravelling consensus genomic regions conferring leaf rust resistance in wheat via meta‐QTL analysis
The Plant Genome, Volume 15, Issue 1, March 2022., 2022 Abstract Leaf rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia triticina Erikss (Pt), is a destructive disease affecting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and a threat to food security. Developing resistant cultivars represents a useful method of disease control, and thus, understanding the genetic basis for leaf rust resistance is required. To this end, a comprehensive

BioMed Research International, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Combined stress has been seen as a major threat to world agriculture production. Maize is one of the leading cereal crops of the world due to its wide spectrum of growth conditions and is moderately sensitive to salt stress. A saline soil environment is a major factor that hinders its growth and overall yield and causes an increase in the concentration
