The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

A short peptide derived from late embryogenesis abundant proteins enhances acid tolerance in Escherichia coli via modulation of two‐component regulatory systems

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Expression of the LEA‐K peptide in E. coli BL21 (DE3) improved bacterial viability under acidic stress (pH4), suggesting a protective function. RNA‐sequencing of LEA‐K‐expressing vs. non‐expressing cells revealed 283 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). In silico docking linked LEA‐K to two‐component systems (TCS) proteins (Rcs, BtsS/R, and EnvZ/OmpR)

The biology of PKM2 in the metabolism and senescence in diabetic kidney disease

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most common causes of chronic kidney disease that leads to end‐stage kidney disease, and its progression is closely linked to metabolic stress within renal tubular cells. Under long‐term hyperglycemia, cells shift their glucose metabolism from normal oxidative phosphorylation toward glycolysis.

A novel single‐cell NAD‐ME C4 subtype integrated with CAM and bicarbonate use in an aquatic plant

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Many plants maximize photosynthesis by using a CO2‐concentrating mechanism (CCM). Based on physiology, the freshwater plant Ottelia alismoides has three CCMs: C4 metabolism (NAD‐malic enzyme (NAD‐ME) subtype) and bicarbonate‐use during the day plus crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) at night and lacks Kranz anatomy. Here, we combined a range of

Diurnal Changes in Photosynthesis in Sugarcane Leaves: I. Carbon dioxide exchange rate, photosynthetic enzyme activities and metabolite levels relating to the C4 pathway and the Calvin cycle

open access: yesPlant Production Science, 2000
Diurnal changes in carbon dioxide exchange rate (CER), stomatal conductance (gs), photosynthetic enzyme activities and metabolite levels relating to the C4 pathway and the Calvin cycle in sugarcane (Saccharum sp. cv.

Understanding the dynamic nature of plant lipid anabolic and catabolic metabolism is key to sustainable oilseed engineering

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.

Biochemical phosphorus allocation is linked to photosynthetic phosphorus‐use efficiency in a phosphorus‐impoverished environment

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Highly efficient phosphorus (P)‐use strategies have evolved in plants, allowing them to thrive in severely P‐impoverished environments. However, it remains unclear how allocating leaf P to biochemical fractions, including specific P‐containing metabolites, contributes to instantaneous photosynthetic P‐use efficiency (iPPUE) and the position of ...

Optimization of carbon and nitrogen utilization for enhanced photosynthesis, biomass and yield by coexpression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, aspartate aminotransferase and glutamine synthetase in Brassica juncea

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Coexpression of genes involved in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism offers a promising avenue for improving crop yield. This study investigated the impact of coexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase [ZmPEPC (P)], aspartate aminotransferase [GmAspAT (A)] and glutamine synthetase [NtGS (G)] in Brassica juncea to enhance plant yield ...
