A translation proofreader of archaeal origin imparts multi-aldehyde stress tolerance to land plants

eLife
Aldehydes, being an integral part of carbon metabolism, energy generation, and signalling pathways, are ingrained in plant physiology. Land plants have developed intricate metabolic pathways which involve production of reactive aldehydes and its ...

Cordycepin Prevents Hyperlipidemia in Hamsters Fed a High-Fat Diet via Activation of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we investigated the potential effects of cordycepin (3′-deoxyadenosine), a bioactive component of the fungus Cordyceps militaris, on hyperlipidemia.

Creatine transporter (SLC6A8) knock out mice display an increased capacity for in vitro creatine biosynthesis in skeletal muscle

Frontiers in Physiology, 2014
The present study aimed to investigate whether skeletal muscle from whole body creatine transporter (CrT; SLC6A8) knockout mice (CrT-/y) actually contained creatine (Cr) and if so, whether this Cr could result from an up regulation of muscle Cr ...

Comparative Proteomic Analysis Reveals Proteins Putatively Involved in Toxin Biosynthesis in the Marine Dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella

Marine Drugs, 2013
Alexandrium is a neurotoxin-producing dinoflagellate genus resulting in paralytic shellfish poisonings around the world. However, little is known about the toxin biosynthesis mechanism in Alexandrium. This study compared protein profiles of A.

Turnip mosaic virus P1 suppresses JA biosynthesis by degrading cpSRP54 that delivers AOCs onto the thylakoid membrane to facilitate viral infection.

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Jasmonic acid (JA) is a crucial hormone in plant antiviral immunity. Increasing evidence shows that viruses counter this host immune response by interfering with JA biosynthesis and signaling.

RNA-seq analysis of Brachypodium distachyon responses to Barley stripe mosaic virus infection

Crop Journal, 2017
Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) is the type member of the genus Hordeivirus. Brachypodium distachyon line Bd3-1 shows resistance to the BSMV ND18 strain, but is susceptible to an ND18 double mutant (β NDTGB1R390K, T392K) in which lysine is substituted ...

A secreted Ustilago maydis effector promotes virulence by targeting anthocyanin biosynthesis in maize

eLife, 2014
The biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis causes smut disease in maize with characteristic tumor formation and anthocyanin induction. Here, we show that anthocyanin biosynthesis is induced by the virulence promoting secreted effector protein Tin2.

Transcriptome Remodeling and Adaptive Preservation of Muscle Protein Content in Hibernating Black Bears

Ecology and Evolution
Hibernation is an energy‐saving adaptation associated with physical inactivity. In contrast to most mammals, hibernating bears demonstrate limited loss of muscle mass and protein content over the prolonged periods of immobility and fasting during winter.

iTRAQ-Based Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of a Toxigenic Dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella at Different Stages of Toxin Biosynthesis during the Cell Cycle

Marine Drugs, 2018
Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) are a group of potent neurotoxic alkaloids that are produced mainly by marine dinoflagellates. PST biosynthesis in dinoflagellates is a discontinuous process that is coupled to the cell cycle.
