The antisense expression of AhPEPC1 increases seed oil production in peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Although phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylases (PEPCs) are reported to be involved in fatty acid accumulation, nitrogen assimilation, and salt and drought stresses, knowledge regarding PEPC gene functions is still limited, particularly in peanuts (Arachis ...

Strategies for Biomethane Purification: A Critical Review and New Approaches
ABSTRACT The global shift towards clean energy emphasizes waste valorization as a key to achieving sustainable development goals. Biomethane production from organic waste not only converts waste to energy but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The growth trajectory of sustainability and environmental protection highlights the significance of energy

Substrate specificity and structural investigation into PepO and PepW : two peptidases from Lactobacillus rhamnosus : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The proteolytic systems of lactic acid bacteria have important roles in the maturation and flavour development of cheese. Lactic acid bacteria pepetidases contribute to the taste of cheese through the production of low-molecular weight peptides and free ...

Low oxygen affects photophysiology and the level of expression of two-carbon metabolism genes in the seagrass Zostera muelleri [PDF]
© 2017, Springer Science+Business Media B.V. Seagrasses are a diverse group of angiosperms that evolved to live in shallow coastal waters, an environment regularly subjected to changes in oxygen, carbon dioxide and irradiance.

ABSTRACT Previously, we produced drought‐tolerant transgenic sugarcane plants that overexpressed the AtBBX29 gene, which encodes a transcription factor (TF) B‐box protein. These plants displayed delayed senescence, were able to maintain photosynthesis, and accumulated high levels of antioxidants and osmolytes when exposed to water deficit stress ...

CXCL12 N-terminal end is sufficient to induce chemotaxis and proliferation of neural stem/progenitor cells [PDF]
Neural stem/progenitor cells (NSC) respond to injury after brain injuries secreting IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-4 and IL-10, as well as chemokine members of the CC and CXC ligand families.

The structural dynamics of cubane‐type metal clusters are monitored using time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering, revealing their structural adaptability under photoexcitation. Notably, a large structural distortion accompanied by symmetry lowering—distinct from the previously reported result—is observed, along with a transition between two emissive ...

Biochemical relationship of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylases (PEPCs) from thermophilic archaea [PDF]
An archaeal phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) was purified from an acidophilic extreme thermophile, Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. The native enzyme was a homotetramer of 260±20 kDa molecular mass composed of 60±5 kDa subunits. The enzyme appeared to have a temperature optimum of 90°C and a pH optimum of 8.0. The activity of S.

SHARK‐capture identifies functional motifs in intrinsically disordered protein regions
Abstract Increasing insights into how sequence motifs in intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) provide functions underscore the need for systematic motif detection. Contrary to structured regions where motifs can be readily identified from sequence alignments, the rapid evolution of IDRs limits the usage of alignment‐based tools in reliably detecting
