Selection on standing genetic variation mediates convergent evolution in extremophile fish
Abstract Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic gas that disrupts numerous biological processes, including energy production in the mitochondria, yet fish in the Poecilia mexicana species complex have independently evolved sulfide tolerance several times. Despite clear evidence for convergence at the phenotypic level in these fishes, it is unclear if the repeated

Summary Sulfane sulfur, including polysulfide and persulfide, is a newly identified cellular component present in microorganisms; however, its physiological functions are unclear.

The newly characterized nuclease SmNuc1 from the bacterium Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, a human opportunistic pathogen, shows an unusually high level of activity towards RNA and DNA, but at the same time, it very efficiently cleaves cyclic diguanylate, the ubiquitous second messenger molecule of bacteria that is normally involved in signalling and ...

mFeS induces the viral ferroptosis by enhancing the lipid peroxidation level, which results in a failed viral infection. In addition, Dc(mFeS) suppresses the cellular ferroptosis‐dependent intracellular replication of influenza virus via restoring influenza virus‐induced imbalance of sulfur metabolism, and the supply of intracellular S0 ...

The reference genome of Bacillus subtilis was first sequenced and annotated 25 years ago. At that time, some 42% of the coding sequences could not be assigned a function. In the present annotated update, 15% of the CDS remain functionless. An important contribution of newly identitied functions has been attributed to nucleic acid modifying enzymes and ...

Abstract Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a key modulator of the development and architecture of the root system under physiological and adverse environmental conditions. Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) also exert myriad functions on plant development and signalling. Accumulating pieces of evidence show that

The mitochondrial coenzyme Q junction and complex III: biochemistry and pathophysiology
Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is the electron‐carrying lipid in the mitochondrial electron transport system. In mammals, it is the electron acceptor for mitochondrial dehydrogenases involved in metabolic pathways ranging from ATP synthesis, amino acid, and fatty acid oxidation to nucleotide biosynthesis, methylation, and hydrogen sulfide detoxification.

Signaling by reactive molecules and antioxidants in legume nodules
Summary Legume nodules are symbiotic structures formed as a result of the interaction with rhizobia. Nodules fix atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia that is assimilated by the plant and this process requires strict metabolic regulation and signaling. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are involved as signal molecules at all
