Unexpected Dual Function of Plant YUCCA Enzymes Links Chlorophyll Catabolism to Auxin Homeostasis. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
YUCCA enzymes are well known to catalyze the main step of auxin biosynthesis in plants. Here, a hitherto undescribed dual function was discovered, revealing that some YUCCAs also act in chlorophyll degradation. In vitro feedback regulation furthermore suggests a link between chlorophyll degradation and hormone homeostasis and a physiological role of ...

Proteomic Changes in Cancer Cell Lines as a Result of Bacterial Infection

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacterial infections have been implicated in shaping the tumor microenvironment (TME), but their effects on cancer cell proteomes remain unexplored. In this study, we analyzed proteomic changes in melanoma (A375) and ovarian cancer (OVCAR3) cell line models following infection with Staphylococcus aureus strain USA300 or Salmonella enterica ...

Uric Acid in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
MASLD is the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, yet effective pharmacological treatments remain limited. Hyperuricemia is now recognized as a key driver of hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, with elevated serum uric acid levels independently predicting hepatocellular carcinoma and liver‐related mortality.

The X‐Ray Crystal Structure of BorF, the Flavin Reductase Subunit of a Two‐Component Flavin‐Dependent Tryptophan Halogenase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT BorF is a short‐chain flavin reductase from a desert soil bacterium that uses NADH to reduce FAD to FADH2, which is used by the tryptophan‐6‐halogenase BorH to chlorinate tryptophan in the biosynthetic pathway of borregomycin A. The X‐ray crystal structure of BorF bound to FAD was solved to 2.37 Å by molecular replacement.

Integrated genomic and transcriptomic approaches reveal oxidative stress adaptation mechanisms in a mesotrione‐resistant Amaranthus tuberculatus biotype

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Integrated GWAS and transcriptomics in a Canadian waterhemp biotype reveal mesotrione resistance is polygenic and metabolically driven. Significant SNPs and 187 herbicide‐responsive genes point to enhanced redox homeostasis, glutathione‐linked detoxification, lipid/secondary metabolism, and oxidative stress responses. Resistance arises from coordinated,

Steroidogenic compensation and lipid deficiency with enhanced NAD+ salvage in small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Fetal growth restriction is associated with placental metabolic adaptations. In small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta (SGA), cholesterol receptors and steroidogenic enzymes are upregulated, enhancing steroidogenesis. NAD salvage pathway is also increased to support NADP+/NADPH requirements.

The miR171a‐TaSCL6‐1 Module Acts Downstream of miR164‐Targeted TaNAC21/22 to Regulate Leaf Rust Resistance in Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, poses a significant threat to global wheat production. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of plant growth, development and stress responses; however, their role in wheat resistance to leaf rust remains poorly understood.

Comparative proteomics analysis of root and nodule mitochondria of soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Legumes perform symbiotic nitrogen fixation through rhizobial bacteroids housed in specialised root nodules. The biochemical process is energy‐intensive and consumes a huge carbon source to generate sufficient reducing power. To maintain the symbiosis, malate is supplied by legume nodules to bacteroids as their major carbon and energy source ...

Impact of obesity and an obesogenic environment on cardiotoxin‐induced damage and recovery of human myotubes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) reduces skeletal muscle quality and impairs the myogenic response to muscle damage. The present study investigated if differences exist in myotubes from individuals with (OB) or without (LN) obesity incubated in control (bovine serum albumin [BSA]) or obesogenic (Ob) medium, at baseline or in response to cardiotoxin ...
