Protein Glycosylation Patterns Shaped by the IRE1‐XBP1s Arm of the Unfolded Protein Response
Abstract The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a sensing and signaling pathway that surveys the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for protein folding challenges and responds whenever issues are detected. UPR activation leads to upregulation of secretory pathway chaperones and quality control factors, as well as reduces the nascent protein load on the ER ...

Roles of inositol phosphates and inositol pyrophosphates in development, cell signaling and nuclear processes [PDF]
Inositol phosphates and inositol pyrophosphates are small molecule metabolites that play important roles in nuclear processes such as transcription control, mRNA export and DNA repair. On this wonderful occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Advances in Enzyme Regulation conference, it is a privilege to participate through presenting recent ...

The phosphate starvation response regulator PHR2 antagonizes arbuscule maintenance in Medicago
Summary Phosphate starvation response (PHR) transcription factors play essential roles in regulating phosphate uptake in plants through binding to the P1BS cis‐element in the promoter of phosphate starvation response genes. Recently, PHRs were also shown to positively regulate arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization in rice and lotus by controlling the ...

Inositol pyrophosphates regulate JMJD2C-dependent histone demethylation [PDF]
Significance Epigenetic modifications of chromatin are emerging as important regulatory mechanisms of many nuclear processes. Numerous proteins have been identified that mediate these modifications in a dynamic manner. However, less is known about the signaling pathways that transduce upstream signals into chromatin changes. Here,

Resin acid δ13C and δ18O as indicators of intra‐seasonal physiological and environmental variability
Abstract Understanding the dynamics of δ13C and δ18O in modern resin is crucial for interpreting (sub)fossilized resin records and resin production dynamics. We measured the δ13C and δ18O offsets between resin acids and their precursor molecules in the top‐canopy twigs and breast‐height stems of mature Pinus sylvestris trees.

Inositol Pyrophosphates as Versatile Metabolic Messengers
Discovered in 1993, inositol pyrophosphates are evolutionarily conserved signaling metabolites whose versatile modes of action are being increasingly appreciated. These include their emerging roles as energy regulators, phosphodonors, steric/allosteric regulators, and G protein–coupled receptor messengers.

ABSTRACT Squalene is a natural triterpenoid and a biosynthetic precursor of steroids and hopanoids in microorganisms, plants, humans, and other animals. Squalene has exceptional properties, such as its antioxidant activity, a high penetrability of the skin, and the ability to trigger the immune system, promoting its application in the cosmetic ...

Inositol biosynthesis is fine‐tuned by inositol pyrophosphates in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
In yeast, inositol biosynthesis is coordinated with the synthesis of phospholipids by controlling the expression of enzymes in the biosynthetic pathways. Inositol pyrophosphates, most recently characterized in the inositide family, have diverse roles in phosphate signaling and other important cellular processes.

Do anionic phospholipids serve as cofactors or second messengers for the regulation of activity of cloned ATP-sensitive K+ channels? [PDF]
The regulation of ion channels by anionic phospholipids is currently very topical. An outstanding issue is whether phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate and related species act as true second messengers in signaling or behave in a manner analogous to an ...
