The “efficacy paradox” of phytochemicals, low bioavailability yet significant health benefits, is associated with gut microbiota, which biotransforms dietary precursors into bioactive metabolites, enabling systemic effects. Thus, health outcomes of diet depend not just on intake “the rainbow”, but on gut microbial metabolism, redefining “you are what ...

Harnessing Trace Elements: Novel Radiosensitization Strategies for Enhanced Cancer Radiotherapy
ABSTRACT Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the core methods of comprehensive cancer treatment. Globally, more than 40% of cancer patients rely on radiotherapy to achieve tumor control, cure or palliative relief. However, radiation resistance, immunosuppression and normal tissue injury limit its clinical application.

Evaluation the effects of potentially toxic co‐contaminating metal cations, including cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and Zinc (Zn), on the bioreduction of selenite by a consortium of halotolerant and halophilic bacteria and/or yeast. ABSTRACT Selenium oxyanion pollution in the environment, often originating from anthropogenic industrial activities, causes ...

The molybdenum cofactor is found in a variety of enzymes present in bacteria, plants and animals and is composed of closely related molecules which all contain molybdopterin, a tricyclic pyranopterin containing a cis-dithiolene group.

Protein sequence surveys show that nickel‐ and molybdenum/copper‐containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (CODHs) are widespread in the ocean. Phylogenetic and genome context analyses reveal that marine CODHs are highly diverse in both evolutionary history and functional organisation.

This study investigates in vivo the role of the flavin reductase Fre as an electron supplier to the periplasmic methionine sulfoxide reductase system MsrPQ. ABSTRACT The MsrPQ system is essential for the repair of oxidized methionine residues in periplasmic proteins, ensuring bacterial resistance to oxidative stress and envelope integrity.

The first step in the biosynthesis of the molybdopterin cofactor involves an unprecedented insertion of the purine C8 carbon between the C2′ and C3′ carbons of the ribose moiety of GTP. Here we review mechanistic studies on this remarkable transformation.

Abstract The QrcABCD quinone reductase complex is an electrogenic complex present in sulfate‐reducing bacteria of the Desulfobacterota phylum. It operates as a cytochrome c3:menaquinone oxidoreductase involved in electron transfer from periplasmic hydrogen or formate oxidation to the menaquinone (MK) pool.

A conditional-lethal molybdopterin-defective mutant of barley
The molybdenum cofactor of the barley mutant R9401 is not able to reconstitute NADPH nitrate reductase activity from extracts of the N. crassa nit-1 mutant nor is it able to effect dimerisation of the nitrate reductase subunits present in the R9401 mutant.
