The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Heterologous plastoquinone production using a newly identified O2‐dependent cyanobacterial hydroxylase

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In this study, we confirm that PlqH is the hydroxylase operating in plastoquinone biosynthesis in photosynthetic cyanobacteria (Cyanobacteriia). Our phylogenetic analyses demonstrate that cyanobacterial PlqH homologues originated from hydroxylases involved in ubiquinone biosynthesis in bacteria. Plastoquinone production in Escherichia coli was achieved

SARS‐CoV‐2 nucleocapsid protein variants have differential RNA chaperone activity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The SARS‐CoV‐2 nucleocapsid (N) protein facilitates RNA annealing through its RBD–IDR2–CTD region, identifying it as a functional RNA chaperone. The Omicron BA.5 variant shows reduced chaperone activity compared to the Wuhan wild‐type protein. Although phosphorylation has no effect on wild‐type N, phosphomimetic modification of BA.5 N restores its RNA ...

Characterisation of a cold‐adapted, thermostable glucokinase from psychrophilic Pseudoalteromonas sp. AS‐131 reveals how the enzyme achieves high thermal stability without loss of cold adaptation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We investigated glucokinase from the psychrophilic Pseudoalteromonas sp. AS‐131 (PsGK), which was isolated from the Antarctic Ocean. Biochemical studies revealed that PsGK is a cold‐adapted enzyme with high thermal stability, in contrast to general cold‐adapted enzymes, which have low thermal stability.

Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus Reprogrammes Host Glycolysis to Facilitate Proliferation by a Phase‐Separated Co‐Aggregate of Nucleocapsid Protein and Phosphoglycerate Kinase

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient viral proliferation within the host is a critical step in pathogenicity and requires adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The replication, movement and immune evasion of many plant viruses within their hosts are associated with phase separation (PS)‐derived aggregates formed by viral components.
