Alkaline Phosphatase: A Reliable Endogenous Partner for Drug Delivery and Diagnostics
Alkaline phosphatase has been an endogenous partner for phosphate prodrugs for decades. More recently, it has been utilized as a reliable partner for enzyme‐responsive drug nanocarriers and diagnostic systems constructed from novel phosphate‐functionalized biomaterials.

Strategies of organic phosphorus recycling by soil bacteria: acquisition, metabolism, and regulation
Summary Critical to meeting cellular phosphorus (P) demand, soil bacteria deploy a number of strategies to overcome limitation in inorganic P (Pi) in soils. As a significant contributor to P recycling, soil bacteria secrete extracellular enzymes to degrade organic P (Po) in soils into the readily bioavailable Pi.

The extensive morbidity of colorectal cancer (CRC) and the inferior prognosis of terminal CRC urgently call for reliable prognostic biomarkers. For this, we identified 704 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by intersecting three datasets, GSE41328, GSE37364, and GSE15960 from Gene Expression Omnibus database, to maximize the accuracy of the results.

Asymmetric Addition and Cycloaddition Reactions with Ylidene‐Five‐Membered Heterocycles
Abstract Five‐membered heterocycles bearing an exocyclic double bond have been successfully used as substrates in asymmetric addition and cycloaddition reactions. Ylidene‐heterocycles are attractive substrates due to their high functionalization and the presence of an electrophilic conjugated exocyclic double bound that can participate in nucleophilic ...

Identifcation of small molecule enzyme inhibitors as broad-spectrum anthelmintics [PDF]
Targeting chokepoint enzymes in metabolic pathways has led to new drugs for cancers, autoimmune disorders and infectious diseases. This is also a cornerstone approach for discovery and development of anthelmintics against nematode and flatworm parasites.

Proteomics insights into the Burkholderia cenocepacia phosphorus stress response
Summary The Burkholderia cepacia complex is a group of Burkholderia species that are opportunistic pathogens causing high mortality rates in patients with cystic fibrosis. An environmental stress often encountered by these soil‐dwelling and pathogenic bacteria is phosphorus limitation, an essential element for cellular processes.

Tripartite parasitic and symbiotic interactions as a possible mechanism of horizontal gene transfer
Halyomorpha halys acquired phospholipase C (PLC) genes from Xenorhabdus through the mechanism of horizontal gene transfer (HGT), likely mediated by a nematode during its parasitizing an insect host. This study revealed that an herbivore might enhance adaptation through gaining genes from an endosymbiont of its parasite in the tripartite parasitic and ...

Complementary Sources of Protein Functional Information: The Far Side of GO. [PDF]
The GO captures many aspects of functional annotations, but there are other alternative complementary sources of protein function information. For example, enzyme functional annotations are described in a range of resources from the Enzyme Commission (E ...

Metal Fluorides as Analogs for Studies on Phosphoryl Transfer Enzymes [PDF]
The 1994 structure of a transition state analog with AlF4- and GDP complexed to G1, a small G protein, heralded a new field of research into structure and mechanism of enzymes that manipulate transfer of the phosphoryl (PO3-) group.

Rates of Spontaneous Cleavage of Glucose, Fructose, Sucrose, and Trehalose in Water, and the Catalytic Proficiencies of Invertase and Trehalas [PDF]
Most of the early experimental work on enzyme kinetics was based on the properties of yeast invertase (-fructo-furanosidase, EC 3.2.1.26), whose robust activity1 (together with the availability of a continuous polarimetric assay) enabled Michaelis and ...
