Ergosterol Biosynthesis and Regulation Impact the Antifungal Resistance and Virulence of Candida spp.

Stresses
Ergosterol is a key fungal sterol that is mainly found in the plasma membrane and is responsible for the proper membrane structure, rigidity, permeability and activity of membrane proteins. Ergosterol plays a crucial role in the ability of fungi to adapt

Climate change and crop resilience: harnessing metabolomics for predicting stress tolerance

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summarised methodology for metabolite biomarker discovery and genomic targets selection for those metabolites to predict high‐throughput phenotypic and agronomic traits of interest for direct uptake in breeding programmes. Summary Global warming is driving climate change to levels not experienced since the advent of agriculture, primarily due to ...

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

The effect of MEP pathway and other inhibitors on the intracellular localization of a plasma membrane-targeted, isoprenylable GFP reporter protein in tobacco BY-2 cells [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/yx]

F1000Research, 2013
We have established an in vivo visualization system for the geranylgeranylation of proteins in a stably transformed tobacco BY-2 cell line, based on the expression of a dexamethasone-inducible GFP fused to the carboxy-terminal basic domain of the rice ...

Long‐Term Salt Exposure Reprograms the Nicotiana tabacum BY‐2 Suspension Proteome and Metabolome Toward Stabilization of the Core Metabolic Pathways, Protein Turnover Machinery Modifications, and Protective Metabolome Adjustments

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we analyzed a unique Nicotiana tabacum BY‐2 line that was gradually adapted to and subsequently maintained in 190 mM NaCl for over 15 years. Years of continuous high salinity shaped a stable “new homeostasis” in BY‐2 suspension cells. Salt‐adapted cells were smaller and formed tighter clusters. Metabolomics revealed constitutive

Prediabetic cardiomyopathy is attenuated by hypothalamic PVN oxytocin neuron activation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A long‐term high‐fat, high‐fructose diet induces prediabetes with insulin resistance, hyperinsulinaemia, elevated triglycerides and metabolic‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in male rats. Animals developed prediabetic cardiomyopathy characterized by diastolic dysfunction, interstitial fibrosis and tachycardia ...

Functional analysis of UDP-sugar: sterol glucosyltransferases

Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are essential for the biosynthesis and diversification of many therapeutically important natural products. Of these, UDP-sugar: sterol glucosyltransferases (UGTs) (2.4.1.173) catalyse the synthesis of therapeutically important ...

Recent developments in sterol 14-demethylase inhibitors for Chagas disease

, 2012
The protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi, causes the most prevalent parasitic infection in the American continent. It gives rise to life-long infection in humans and results in severe cardiomyopathy or other life-threatening manifestations (Chagas ...

Soybean‐Derived Exosome‐Like Nanovesicles Regulate Lipid Metabolism via Mitochondrial Biogenesis and UCP1/PGC‐1α Mediated Thermogenesis

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
Soybean‐derived exosome‐like nanovesicles suppress lipid accumulation of adipocytes via UCP1/PGC‐1α mediated thermogenesis pathway and boosting mitochondrial function. ABSTRACT Obesity has become an important public health concern in modern society. Plant‐derived exosome‐like nanovesicles are emerging as candidates for obesity intervention.

Probing sterol biosynthesis chokepoint enzymes in Naegleria gruberi for treatment of amoeba diseases

, 2017
Naegleria gruberi (NG) is a non-pathogenic amoeba that is closely related to Naegleria fowleri a.k.a. the brain-eating amoeba, responsible for primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). Currently the treatment involves several combinations of antibiotics,
