The invertebrate Caenorhabditis elegans biosynthesizes ascorbate. [PDF]
, 2015 l-Ascorbate, commonly known as vitamin C, serves as an antioxidant and cofactor essential for many biological processes. Distinct ascorbate biosynthetic pathways have been established for animals and plants, but little is known about the presence or ...

Integrated functions among multiple starch synthases determine both amylopectin chain length and branch linkage location in Arabidopsis leaf starch [PDF]
, 2011 This study assessed the impact on starch metabolism in Arabidopsis leaves of simultaneously eliminating multiple soluble starch synthases (SS) from among SS1, SS2, and SS3.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Placental mitochondrial adaptation to gestational hypoxia. Hypoxic pregnancy in sheep increases placental insulin like growth factor 2 (IGF2) signalling (1), which is associated with a shift in capacity away from β‐oxidation (2) and complex I‐mediated respiration (3), while maintaining total oxidative phosphorylation capacity (4).

Nuclear Surveillance and Degradation of Hypomodified Initiator tRNA\u3csup\u3eMet\u3c/sup\u3e in \u3cem\u3eS. cerevisiae\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2004 The tRNA m1A58 methyltransferase is composed of two subunits encoded by the essential genes TRM6 and TRM61 (formerly GCD10 and GCD14). The trm6-504 mutation results in a defective m1A methyltransferase (Mtase) and a temperature-sensitive growth phenotype

Identification of a homolog of Arabidopsis DSP4 (SEX4) in chestnut: its induction and accumulation in stem amyloplasts during winter or in response to the cold_ [PDF]
, 2011 Oligosaccharide synthesis is an important cryoprotection strategy used by woody plants during winter dormancy. At the onset of autumn, starch stored in the stem and buds is broken down in response to the shorter days and lower temperatures resulting in ...

RNA‐Binding Proteins and Ferroptosis in Cancer: Mechanism and Therapeutic Implications
MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.Ferroptosis critically influences cancer cell fate and represents a promising therapeutic strategy. Emerging evidence identifies RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) as key post‐transcriptional regulators of ferroptosis. The figure summarizes ferroptosis‐related RBPs across cancers: blue RBPs act as tumor suppressors by promoting ferroptosis, whereas red RBPs ...

Structural Insights into the Epimerization of β-1,4-Linked Oligosaccharides Catalyzed by Cellobiose 2-Epimerase, the Sole Enzyme Epimerizing Non-anomeric Hydroxyl Groups of Unmodified Sugars [PDF]
, 2013 Cellobiose 2-epimerase (CE) reversibly converts d-glucose residues into d-mannose residues at the reducing end of unmodified β1,4-linked oligosaccharides, including β-1,4-mannobiose, cellobiose, and lactose.
