Protometabolic functions of pyridoxal: A link between early amino acid synthesis and enzyme evolution

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Schlikker et al. characterized the conversion of pyridoxal to pyridoxamine under conditions mimicking the ones likely existing at the origin of metabolism. These conditions triggered nitrogen incorporation into amino acids in solution before the origins of enzymes.

The molecular mechanisms of defensive‐grade organic acid biosynthesis in ground beetles

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Formic acid and methacrylic acid are the primary defensive chemicals in the pygidial gland secretions of Platynus angustatus and Pterostichus moestus, respectively. Comparative transcriptomics suggests the folate cycle and valine catabolism may be involved in the biosynthesis of formic acid and methacrylic acid, respectively.

The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce

Stereochemical insights into sarpagan and akuammiline alkaloid biosynthesis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Sarpagan and akuammiline monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) are a class of bioactive plant‐derived compounds with significant pharmaceutical potential. These alkaloids are formed through oxidative cyclization of geissoschizine, catalyzed by homologous cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP) known as sarpagan bridge enzymes (SBEs) and rhazimal ...

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 ...

Kinetic studies of the interaction of cannabinoids with singlet oxygen

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract showing sensitization of singlet oxygen by xanthone and its subsequent quenching by cannabinoids. Abstract The kinetics of the interaction of several cannabinoids with singlet oxygen have been examined in acetonitrile solution using laser flash photolysis techniques and using xanthone as a singlet oxygen sensitizer.
