Identification of a novel methyltransferase, Bmt2, responsible for the N-1-methyl-adenosine base modification of 25S rRNA in "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" [PDF]
The 25S rRNA of yeast contains several base modifications in the functionally important regions. The enzymes responsible for most of these base modifications remained unknown.

Identification of methylated nucleosides in messenger RNA from Novikoff hepatoma cells.
The poly(A) tract found in eukaryotic mRNA was used to study methylation in mRNA obtained from Novikoff hepatoma cells. Methyl labeling of RNA was achieved with L-[methyl-(3)H]methionine under conditions that suppress radioactive incorporation into the ...

We obtained potential bacterial laccase‐like multicopper oxidase (LMCO) sequences through metagenomic sequencing. All sequences exhibited significant differences from known LMCOs in databases. To select the most promising candidates, we performed structure prediction and molecular docking using alphafold2, metal3d and rosetta.

Root-secreted nucleosides: signaling chemoattractants of rhizosphere bacteria
The rhizosphere is a complex ecosystem, consisting of a narrow soil zone influenced by plant roots and inhabited by soil-borne microorganisms. Plants actively shape the rhizosphere microbiome through root exudates.

Dinucleoside polyphosphates : newly detected uraemic compounds with an impact on leucocyte oxidative burst [PDF]
Background. Dinucleoside polyphosphates (NpnN) have pathophysiologic roles in cardiovascular disease and are newly detected uraemic retention solutes. They were retrieved in human plasma, tissues and cells.

State-dependent fragmentation of protonated uracil and uridine [PDF]
Tandem mass spectroscopy ($\textrm{MS}^2$) combined with single photon excitation in the VUV range (photon energy 4.5-9 eV) was performed on protonated uracil ($\textrm{UraH}^{+}$) and uridine ($\textrm{UrdH}^{+}$). The precursor ions with $m/z\;113$ and $m/z\;245$ respectively were produced by an Electrospray Ionization source (ESI) and accumulated ...
