Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Differences of endophytic microbial compositions and metabolites in roots between fusarium wilt resistant and susceptible melon varieties

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background Studies have shown that plant endophytic microbial communities are ubiquitous and closely related to plant growth and health. To clarify the mechanism of the melon varieties with high resistant to wilt, the endophytic microbial compositions ...

Plant-based Milks: A Review of the Science Underpinning Their Design, Fabrication, and Performance.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, 2019
Many consumers are interested in decreasing their consumption of animal products, such as bovine milk, because of health, environmental, and ethical reasons. The food industry is therefore developing a range of plant-based milk alternatives.

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

The distinct characteristics of the endophytic microbiome and metabolome within the root system result in varying abilities of watermelon resistance against Fusarium wilt

BMC Plant Biology
Background The structure of endophytic microbial communities and metabolic functions differ significantly among plant varieties with different resistance levels.

Eco-friendly essential oil-loaded coaxial electrospun fibers for sustainable control of Plutella xylostella

Industrial Crops and Products
Plant essential oils are widely recognized for their insecticidal and repellent properties; however, their practical application in pest management is often constrained by poor stability and rapid volatilization.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.
