Selection on standing genetic variation mediates convergent evolution in extremophile fish

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 18, Page 5042-5054, September 2023., 2023
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

Sulfane sulfur‐activated actinorhodin production and sporulation is maintained by a natural gene circuit in Streptomyces coelicolor

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, 2020
Summary Sulfane sulfur, including polysulfide and persulfide, is a newly identified cellular component present in microorganisms; however, its physiological functions are unclear.

A highly active S1‐P1 nuclease from the opportunistic pathogen Stenotrophomonas maltophilia cleaves c‐di‐GMP

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 597, Issue 16, Page 2103-2118, August 2023., 2023
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 ...

Bidirectionally Regulating Viral and Cellular Ferroptosis with Metastable Iron Sulfide Against Influenza Virus

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 10, Issue 17, June 13, 2023., 2023
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 ...

Stimulus-responsive proteins involved in multi-process regulation of storage substance accumulation during rice grain filling under elevated temperature

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background The intensified global warming during grain filling deteriorated rice quality, in particular increasing the frequency of chalky grains which markedly impact market value.

A model industrial workhorse: Bacillus subtilis strain 168 and its genome after a quarter of a century

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1203-1231, June 2023., 2023
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 ...

H2O2, NO, and H2S networks during root development and signalling under physiological and challenging environments: Beneficial or toxic?

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 688-717, March 2023., 2023
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

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 289, Issue 22, Page 6936-6958, November 2022., 2022
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

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 236, Issue 3, Page 815-832, November 2022., 2022
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
