Mechanistic insights into HapC: A key enzyme in prodiginine biosynthesis in Hahella chejuensis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
HapC catalyzes prodiginine biosynthesis through coordinated movements of its ATP‐binding, substrate‐binding, and catalytic‐swivel domains. The enzyme shows tolerance toward short‐chain MAP analogs, and docking analyses reveal key residues and structural features underlying its substrate flexibility.

Stage‐Specific Metabolic and Proteomic Dynamics Underlying Ripening and Quality Formation in Tropical Evergreen Pomegranate

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Integrated multi‐omics reveals that pomegranate ripening between 90 and 130 days drives optimal sugar‐acid balance and pigmentation via coordinated regulation of phenylpropanoid, flavonoid, and carbohydrate metabolism pathways. ABSTRACT Pomegranate fruit development involves coordinated physiological, metabolic, and proteomic changes shaping coloration

Understanding of Molecular Mechanisms and Breeding Strategies for Enhancing Oleic Acid Biosynthesis in Oil Crops

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Oleic acid (C18:1), a monounsaturated fatty acid, is a key determinant of nutritional value and oxidative stability of vegetable oils. Increasing its concentration has therefore become a central objective in oilseed crop improvement. This review summarizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms and breeding strategies underlying oleic ...

Bioconjugation Strategies for Revealing the Roles of Glycerophospholipids in Cells

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Glycerophospholipids are the main class of phospholipids, essential for membrane structure, compartmentalization, and cellular signaling. To study their roles, innovative probes and advanced bioconjugation strategies have been developed, including by de novo lipid synthesis and bioorthogonal conjugation chemistry.

Under the Cover of Darkness: A Transcriptomic Exploration of Clubroot During the Night

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plasmodiophora brassicae (Phytomyxea, Rhizaria) is the etiological agent of clubroot disease, one of the most important diseases of Brassicaceae crops. Alteration of metabolism and hormone homeostasis leads to the formation of tumor‐like galls in the roots of affected plants.

An Escherichia coli Phosphotransferase System Modulates Methylglyoxal Resistance by Regulating Intracellular Potassium

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 6, Page 461-474, June 2026.
Escherichia coli can survive methylglyoxal stress by modulating phosphorylation of a regulatory phosphotransferase system, which, in turn, regulates the activity of a potassium/proton antiporter. The constitutive potassium importer Trk also contributes to intracellular potassium levels.
