Whole‐cell studies of substrate and inhibitor specificity of isoprene monooxygenase and related enzymes

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 15, Issue 6, Page 809-819, December 2023., 2023
We examined the substrate range of isoprene‐degrading bacteria, and also showed that several microbes which cannot use this major plant‐produced volatile for growth can nevertheless readily degrade it by co‐oxidation. Inhibitor trials identified that octyne and acetylene act as differential inhibitors of isoprene monooxygenase and the monooxygenases of

4′,6-Dihydroxy-4-methoxyisoaurone inhibits TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation and expressions of NF-κB-regulated target gene products

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2016
The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) transcription factors control many physiological processes including inflammation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. In our search for NF-κB inhibitors from natural resources, we identified 4′,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxyisoaurone (ISOA)

The 2‐methylpropene degradation pathway in Mycobacteriaceae family strains

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 11, Page 2163-2181, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Mycolicibacterium gadium IBE100 and Mycobacterium paragordonae IBE200 are aerobic, chemoorganoheterotrophic bacteria isolated from activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant. They use 2‐methylpropene (isobutene, 2‐MP) as the sole source of carbon and energy. Here, we postulate a degradation pathway of 2‐methylpropene derived from whole

Functional characterization of all‐trans retinoic acid‐induced differentiation factor (ATRAID)

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 13, Issue 10, Page 1874-1886, October 2023., 2023
ATRAID isoform A and C are indicated. Iso C is N‐glycosylated and found in high densities close to the nucleus where it colocalizes with Golgi markers GALNT2 and GM130. Iso C colocalizes with proteins LAMP1, LAMP2, GALNT2, and GM130 as well as RAB11, a marker for recycling endosomes. Iso A is rapidly degraded by a proteasomal degradation pathway.

Graph-based robot optimal path planning with bio-inspired algorithms

Biomimetic Intelligence and Robotics, 2023
Recently, bio-inspired algorithms have been increasingly explored for autonomous robot path planning on grid-based maps. However, these approaches endure performance degradation as problem complexity increases, often resulting in lengthy search times to ...

Gene probing reveals the widespread distribution, diversity and abundance of isoprene-degrading bacteria in the environment

Microbiome, 2018
Background Approximately 500 Tg of isoprene are emitted to the atmosphere annually, an amount similar to that of methane, and despite its significant effects on the climate, very little is known about the biological degradation of isoprene in the ...

'When it floods, we work on our own': Exploring factors influencing collective efficacy appraisals for community-level flood measures among urban informal settlements in Suva, Fiji. [PDF]

J Community Appl Soc Psychol
Abstract More than one billion people worldwide are living in urban informal settlements where flood risks are high. Positive collective efficacy beliefs can facilitate community‐level adaptive action. This sub‐study of the Revitalizing Informal Settlements and their Environments (RISE) trial, aimed to identify social and contextual factors influencing

Diversity of isoprene-degrading bacteria in phyllosphere and soil communities from a high isoprene-emitting environment: a Malaysian oil palm plantation

Microbiome, 2020
Background Isoprene is the most abundantly produced biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) on Earth, with annual global emissions almost equal to those of methane.
