Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Aspartic Protease Inhibition Induces Proteomic Remodeling in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a major systemic mycosis in Latin America caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, yet the contribution of aspartic proteases to fungal physiology and pathogenicity remains poorly understood. Here, we employed data‐independent acquisition (DIA)‐based quantitative proteomics to investigate the impact of pepstatin

Metal Binding Sites in Plant Soluble Inorganic Pyrophosphatases. An Example of the Use of ROSETTA Design and Hidden Markov Models to Guide the Homology Modeling of Proteins

, 2017
In contrast to their counterparts in bacteria and animals the soluble inorganic pyrophosphatases from plant cells are active as monomers. The isoforms 1 and 4 from <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> have been characterized with more detail, but ...

Improved salinity tolerance of rice through cell type-specific expression of AtHKT1;1. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Previously, cell type-specific expression of AtHKT1;1, a sodium transporter, improved sodium (Na(+)) exclusion and salinity tolerance in Arabidopsis. In the current work, AtHKT1;1, was expressed specifically in the root cortical and epidermal cells of an

Proteo‐transcriptomic insights into the venom composition of the ectoparasitoid Eupelmus urozonus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Integrated venom‐gland transcriptomics and venom proteomics of Eupelmus urozonus identified 316 venom proteins, including 75 secreted candidates, revealing diverse hydrolases, proteases/inhibitors and many uncharacterized effectors. Abstract BACKGROUND Ectoparasitoid venoms are ‘cocktails’ of bioactive molecules injected during oviposition to paralyze ...

Vacuolar H+-pyrophosphatase

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2000
The H(+)-translocating inorganic pyrophosphatase (H(+)-PPase) is a unique, electrogenic proton pump distributed among most land plants, but only some alga, protozoa, bacteria, and archaebacteria. This enzyme is a fine model for research on the coupling mechanism between the pyrophosphate hydrolysis and the active proton transport, since the enzyme ...

Essential role of pyrophosphate homeostasis mediated by the pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase in Toxoplasma gondii.

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
Many biosynthetic pathways produce pyrophosphate (PPi) as a by-product, which is cytotoxic if accumulated at high levels. Pyrophosphatases play pivotal roles in PPi detoxification by converting PPi to inorganic phosphate.

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.

Identification of Critical Elements for Regulation of Inorganic Pyrophosphatase (PPA1) in MCF7 Breast Cancer Cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Cytosolic inorganic pyrophosphatase plays an important role in the cellular metabolism by hydrolyzing inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) formed as a by-product of various metabolic reactions.
