The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Chronic Immune Stimulation May Cause Moderate Impairment of Phenylalanine 4-hydroxylase

Pteridines, 2011
Phenylalanine (4)-hydroxylase (PAH, E.C. 1.14.16.1) is located mainly in liver and converts amino acid phenylalanine (Phe) to tyrosine (Tyr). In 'classical' phenylketonuria (PKU), PAH activity is reduced, whereas in 'atypical' PKU biosynthesis of the ...

Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

PAH and QDPR deficiency associated mutations in the Novosibirsk region of the Russian Federation: Correlation of mutation type with disease manifestation and severity [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2014
Background: Efficient treatment of inherited hyperphenylalaninemia requires exact identification of mutations defining the trait. Such knowledge is important both for effective individual therapy and understanding of the genetic history and evolution of ...

Immune activation and inflammation in patients with cardiovascular disease are associated with elevated phenylalanine-to-tyrosine ratios

Pteridines, 2013
Higher serum neopterin concentrations and kynurenine-to-tryptophan (Kyn/Trp) ratios are associated with increased mortality in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Preferentially, Th1-type cytokine interferon-γ stimulates tryptophan breakdown and

Phenylalanine hydroxylase: Function, structure, and regulation [PDF]

IUBMB Life, 2013
AbstractMammalian phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) catalyzes the rate‐limiting step in the phenylalanine catabolism, consuming about 75% of the phenylalanine input from the diet and protein catabolism under physiological conditions. In humans, mutations in the PAH gene lead to phenylketonuria (PKU), and most mutations are mainly associated with PAH ...

A TAF10‐ERF109 Transcriptional Module Directs Flavonoid‐Based Stress Resilience and Yield Enhancement in Foxtail Millet and Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To ensure sustainable agricultural production under escalating environmental constraints such as drought and salinity, innovative strategies are urgently needed. Here, we reveal in foxtail millet (Setaria italica) that transcription factors TAF10 and ERF109 form a functional complex which co‐activates the expression of key flavonoid ...

Neuroradiological findings of an adolescent with early treated phenylketonuria: is phenylalanine restriction enough?

Clinics and Practice, 2011
Phenylketonuria is caused by mutations in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase gene, that can result in abnormal concentrations of phenylalanine on blood, resulting in metabolites that can cause brain damage. The treatment is based on dietary restriction

Multi‐Omics Analyses Reveal the Red and Far‐Red Light Combination Enhancing Heterologous Protein and Metabolite Production in Nicotiana benthamiana

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transient expression of exogenous protein in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves via agroinfiltration offers a rapid and efficient platform for functional gene discovery and heterologous production of valuable eukaryotic proteins and metabolites. Though light quality is an important factor for plant photomorphogenesis, its impact on the efficiency of
