Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Analysis of the DXS Pan-Gene Family Reveals Evolutionary Conservation and Regulatory Divergence Underpinning Terpenoid Metabolism in Lauraceae

Plants
1-Deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase (DXS) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the plastidial 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway and governs carbon flux toward terpenoid biosynthesis.

Endophytic Bacteria From the Roots of the Medicinal Plant Alkanna tinctoria Tausch (Boraginaceae): Exploration of Plant Growth Promoting Properties and Potential Role in the Production of Plant Secondary Metabolites

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Alkannin and shikonin (A/S) are enantiomeric naphthoquinones produced in the roots of certain plants from the Boraginaceae family such as Lithospermum spp. and Alkanna spp. They possess antimicrobial, anti-tumoral and wound healing properties.

Control of Phytophthora cinnamomi by the fungicide phosphite in relation to in planta phosphite concentrations and phytotoxicity in native plant species in Western Australia [PDF]

, 2003
Low volume aerial phosphite applications has been used in recent years at rates of up to 24 kg ha-1 to protect native plant species and communities threatened by Phytophthora cinnamomi while the recommended rate for spray to run-off phosphite application

What explains the invading success of the aquatic mud snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Hydrobiidae, Mollusca)? [PDF]

, 2008
The spread of non-native species is one of the most harmful and least reversible disturbances in ecosystems. Species have to overcome several filters to become a pest (transport, establishment, spread and impact). Few studies have checked the traits that

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Genome-wide analysis of the bZIP gene family in Cinnamomum camphora ('Gantong 1') reveals the putative function in anthocyanin biosynthesis

Heliyon
Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors (TFs) regulate plant development, growth, and secondary metabolism. The formation of red bark of new ornamental cultivar 'Gantong 1' is regulated mainly by anthocyanin anabolism.

Seed rain and soil seed banks limit native regeneration within urban forest restoration plantings in Hamilton City, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2012
Restoration of native forest vegetation in urban environments may be limited due to isolation from native seed sources and to the prevalence of exotic plant species.
