Summary Carotenoids and apocarotenoids are widespread specialized metabolites, yet animals, including sponges, lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids de novo and must obtain them from dietary or microbial sources. The roles of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) in marine animals remain largely unexplored. A CCD from the marine sponge Suberites

Summary Cellular ion and pH homeostasis are crucial factors affecting and regulating metabolic reactions, protein stability, signalling and transport mechanisms. To balance intracellular ion concentrations, organisms need to constantly sense and respond to both the extracellular environment and cell compartments' requests.

Functional divergence of LhcSR and PsbS in zeaxanthin‐mediated non‐photochemical quenching
Summary To protect photosystem II from excess light, non‐photochemical quenching (NPQ) dissipates excess energy as heat. NPQ relies on trigger proteins, LhcSR in algae and PsbS in vascular plants, and the light‐regulated xanthophyll cycle, which interconverts violaxanthin and zeaxanthin through the opposite activities of violaxanthin de‐epoxidase and ...

ABSTRACT Chromatin interactions establish spatial proximity between distant regulatory elements and their target genes, significantly influencing gene expression, and phenotypic traits. In this study, we present a plant chromatin interaction prediction model called PlantCTCIP based on Convolutional Neural Networks and Transformer.

It has been shown that, besides absorbing blue light and quenching free oxygen radicals, lutein also has anti-inflammatory properties. This may have implications in Age related Macular Degeneration (AMD), because an inflammatory mechanism involving the ...

Significance Statement Euglena gracilis is an early diverging photosynthetic organism with a unique mosaic photosynthetic apparatus. Biochemical and spectroscopic analysis reveals a kinetically slower photosystem I sharing excitation energy with photosystem II in the absence of strict photosystem segregation.

Stability of lutein under various storage conditions
The stability of lutein, a major xanthophyll, was investigated under various storage conditions. Continuous exposure of lutein-containing samples to cold white fluorescent light (4600 lux) at 25°C resulted in the degradation of lutein at 0.8%-10.7% per ...
