Distinct Phage‐Encoded Enzymes for Substitution of Deoxythymidine by Deoxyuridine in Phage Genomes
DNA base modification is a common strategy used by bacteriophages to evade host immune detection. A prominent example is dU‐DNA, where thymidine is globally replaced with 2′‐deoxyuridine.

Does expression of pyrophosphatases improve seedling vigour and salinity tolerance in barley?
© 2016 Dr. Amrita Ghosh DuttaGlobally, more than 800 million hectares of land are salt affected, which comprises more than 6% of total land area. Soil salinity reduces agricultural productivity and thus the generation of salt-tolerant crops will be ...

Inorganic long-chain polyphosphate is a ubiquitous linear polymer in biology, consisting of many phosphate moieties linked by phosphoanhydride bonds. It is synthesized by polyphosphate kinase, and metabolised by a number of enzymes, including exo- and ...

Plant vacuolar H+-ATPases (V-type H+-ATPases, VHA) and vacuolar H+-pyrophosphatases (V-PPase, VHP) are key proton pumps. VHA and VHP regulate cellular pH homeostasis and ion transport via the proton motive force across the vacuolar membrane, functioning ...

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of membrane-bound pyrophosphatases.
Membrane-bound pyrophosphatases (M-PPases) are enzymes that enhance the survival of plants, protozoans and prokaryotes in energy constraining stress conditions. These proteins use pyrophosphate, a waste product of cellular metabolism, as an energy source
