Glucose-1-phosphotransferase and N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase have distinct acceptor specificities.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1987
UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucose-1-phosphotransferase (Glc-phosphotransferase) catalyzes the transfer of alpha Glc-1-P from UDP-Glc to endoglycosidase H-sensitive oligosaccharides on acceptor glycoproteins. We have previously demonstrated that Glc-phosphotransferase was specific for UDP-Glc as its nucleotide sugar substrate and thus appeared to be ...

Field selection of elite events of East African highland bananas expressing elevated levels of pro‐vitamin A

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Biofortification of staple crops is a sustainable strategy to deliver essential micronutrients to impoverished populations in developing countries. Banana is a highly valued crop consumed by over 75% of Ugandans. However, the starchy green cooking bananas have very low levels of pro‐vitamin A (PVA) and heavy dietary reliance on them has been ...

The Transport of Carbohydrates by a Bacterial Phosphotransferase System [PDF]

The Journal of General Physiology, 1969
The components and properties of a phosphoenolpyruvate: glucose phosphotransferase system are reviewed, along with the evidence implicating this system in sugar transport across bacterial membranes. Some possible physiological implications of sugar transport mediated by the phosphotransferase system are also considered.

Application of a GRF‐GIF chimera enhances plant regeneration for genome editing in tomato

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Genome editing has become a routine tool for functionally characterizing plant and animal genomes. However, stable genome editing in plants remains limited by the time‐ and labour‐intensive process of generating transgenic plants, as well as by the efficient isolation of desired heritable edits.

Seamless, modular binary vectors for plant cell and molecular biology

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary In plants, genetic manipulations are commonly performed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a plant pathogen whose abilities as a ‘natural genetic engineer’ have been co‐opted for biotechnological applications. In the widely used binary vector systems, Agrobacterium already contains a plasmid with most of the genes needed for virulence and is ...

Contextualized Metabolic Modelling Revealed Factors Affecting Isoflavone Accumulation in Soybean Seeds

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isoflavones, secondary metabolites with numerous health benefits, are predominantly found in legume seeds, especially soybean; however, their contents in domesticated soybean seeds are highly variable. Wild soybeans are known for higher seed isoflavone contents than cultivars. Here we used experimental and modelling approaches on wild soybean (

Comparison of the Activities and Some Properties of Pyrophosphate and ATP Dependent Fructose-6-Phosphate 1-Phosphotransferases of Phaseolus vulgaris Seeds.

Plant Physiology, 1987
THE DISTRIBUTION OF PYROPHOSPHATE: fructose 6-phosphate phosphotransferase (PFP) and ATP: fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase (PFK) was studied in germinating bean (Phaseolus vulgaris cv Top Crop) seeds.

Genome‐Wide Association Study Elucidates the Genetic Architecture of Manganese Tolerance in Brassica napus

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brassica napus (canola) is a significant contributor to the world's oil production and is cultivated across continents, yet acidic soils with aluminium (Al3+) and manganese (Mn2+) toxicities limit its production. The genetic determinants underlying natural variation for acidic soil tolerance in canola are unknown and need to be determined ...

Sugar transport by the bacterial phosphotransferase system. The glucose receptors of the Salmonella typhimurium phosphotransferase system.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1982
We have previously reported that glucose can be phosphorylated by phospho-HPr and two sugar-specific pairs of proteins of the Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium phosphoenolpyruvate:glycose phosphotransferase system. Each of the sugar-specific complexes comprises two proteins, lipid, and divalent cation, and each is present in membranes ...

Hydroxysteroid 17β‐dehydrogenase 13 (Hsd17b13) knockdown attenuates liver steatosis in high‐fat diet obese mice

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hydroxysteroid 17β‐dehydrogenase 13 (HSD17B13) loss‐of‐function gene variants are associated with a decreased risk of metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Our RNA‐seq analysis of steatotic liver from obese mice ± fenretinide treatment identified major beneficial effects of fenretinide on expression of hepatic genes
