Comparative modelling and molecular docking of nitrate reductase from Bacillus weihenstephanensis (DS45)

Journal of Taibah University for Science, 2016
Nitrate reductase catalyses the oxidation of NAD(P)H and the reduction of nitrate to nitrite. NR serves as a central point for the integration of metabolic pathways by governing the flux of reduced nitrogen through several regulatory mechanisms in plants,

Acute Modafinil Exposure Induces Neurobehavioral Alterations in Zebrafish: Implications for Off‐Label Cognitive Enhancement

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modafinil (2‐(benzhydrylsulfinyl)acetamide) is a psychostimulant commonly prescribed for sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, excessive daytime sleepiness, and obstructive sleep apnea. Recently, its use has extended beyond clinical indications, with neurotypical individuals adopting it as a smart drug to enhance alertness and cognitive ...

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

Iron/Manganese Oxide‐Bound Nitrogen Suppresses Microbial Mediated Nitrate Reduction in Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen cycling plays a pivotal role in sustaining ecosystem productivity and stability, while the chemical forms of nitrogen in soils critically influence both its efficiency and pathways. In this study, farmland soils from the Anning River Basin—an important watershed in Southwest China—were investigated to examine the regulatory effects of

Proteomics of Nitrotyrosine: Integrating Mass Spectrometry and Immunodetection in Redox‐Driven Pathology

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrooxidative stress, driven by excess reactive nitrogen species like peroxynitrite, contributes to the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases. Among its molecular footprints, 3‐nitrotyrosine (3NT) has emerged as a biologically relevant marker of protein nitration.

Plant species are more important to bacterial community composition than seeding ratio in a pea‐canola intercropping system

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Demand for agricultural land has increased due to rising demand for food, potentially leading to expansion into previously untouched habitats, which threatens refugia of native plants. We aimed to provide insight into how variation in seeding ratio may impact soil bacterial communities in a pea‐canola intercropping system, potentially altering crop ...

Protein NirP1 regulates nitrite reductase and nitrite excretion in cyanobacteria

Nature Communications
Abstract When the supply of inorganic carbon is limiting, photosynthetic cyanobacteria excrete nitrite, a toxic intermediate in the ammonia assimilation pathway from nitrate. It has been hypothesized that the excreted nitrite represents excess nitrogen that cannot be further assimilated due to the missing carbon ...

Nitrogen Starvation Acclimation in Synechococcus elongatus: Redox-Control and the Role of Nitrate Reduction as an Electron Sink

Life, 2015
Nitrogen starvation acclimation in non-diazotrophic cyanobacteria is characterized by a process termed chlorosis, where the light harvesting pigments are degraded and the cells gradually tune down photosynthetic and metabolic activities.

Plant responses to iron nutrition with emphasis on the underutilized crop tef (Eragrostis tef): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Iron (Fe) deficiency limits the physical health, cognitive development, and economic output of billions of people globally, especially children and productive‐age women. Tef is an underutilized and stress‐resilient crop, which is becoming popular for its grains containing high bioavailable Fe and has the potential to mitigate Fe deficiency.

Characterization of the periplasmic redox network that sustains the versatile anaerobic metabolism of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The versatile anaerobic metabolism of the Gram-negative bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (SOMR-1) relies on a multitude of redox proteins found in its periplasm.
