Restoration of Immune Surveillance in Prostate Cancer Prevention by Sulforaphane in Hi‐Myc Mice
ABSTRACT Oral administration of broccoli constituent sulforaphane (SFN) prevents prostate cancer development in preclinical mouse models. However, the mechanism(s) underlying prostate cancer prevention by SFN are not fully understood. In this study, we used a human relevant mouse model (Hi‐Myc mice) to demonstrate restoration of immune surveillance by ...

Studies on the Myrosinase in Mustard Seed [PDF]
A characteristic effect of inorganic neutral salts on myrosinase was discovered. The salts containing monovalent anions had a remarkable inhibitory effect on the ascorbate-activated enzyme, but little on the non-activated enzyme. Such an effect was elucidated to be due to the anion.

ESCRT: A Cellular Nexus of Plant Immunity and Pathogen Counter‐Strategies
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) plays multifaceted roles in plants' responses to pathogens, including regulation of the localization and fate of immune receptors and other related cellular processes. ABSTRACT The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery consists of multiprotein complexes conserved ...

Abstract Biofumigation with brassica cover crops (BCCs) is gaining momentum in the United States as an ecologically sound alternative to chemical pest suppression in agricultural systems. This review critically evaluates the impacts of Brassica species on soil health, weed suppression, disease mitigation, and control of plant‐parasitic nematodes (PPNs)

Flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) are di‐iron enzymes that reduce NO and/or O2 with distinct substrate selectivity. We have produced E. coli FDP variants targeting second coordination‐sphere residues and determined their structures. Although the kinetics remained unchanged, the E.

Studies on the Myrosinase in Mustard Seed [PDF]
In order to clarify whether the myrosinase containes only thioglucosidase, or thioglucosidase and sulfatase, chromatographic behaviors of the myrosinase on cellulose ion exchanger were studied. Myrosinase showed two peaks by the chromatography on TEAE-cellulose at pH 8.5, but the fractionation of the two enzymes was not accomplished.

Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...

Allyl isothiocyanate induced stress response in
Background Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) from mustard is cytotoxic; however the mechanism of its toxicity is unknown. We examined the effects of AITC on heat shock protein (HSP) 70 expression in Caenorhabditis elegans.
