The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 751-803, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Riboswitches and Translation Control [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2018
A growing collection of bacterial riboswitch classes is being discovered that sense central metabolites, coenzymes, and signaling molecules. Included among the various mechanisms of gene regulation exploited by these RNA regulatory elements are several that modulate messenger RNA (mRNA) translation. In this review, the mechanisms of riboswitch-mediated

The MarR Family Transcriptional Regulator EmrR Negatively Regulates the Type III Secretion System (T3SS) and Positively Modulates Pathogenicity in Dickeya oryzae

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study revealed that the transcriptional regulator EmrR in Dickeya oryzae modulates virulence by regulating hrpL expression and c‐di‐GMP levels. It affects motility, biofilm formation, cellulase production and pathogenicity. EMSA and footprinting confirmed EmrR binds directly to the promoter of its target operon.

Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2541-2558, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.

Evolution of Prime Editing: Enhancing Efficiency and Expanding Capacity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
Most rare diseases are caused by genetic mutations. Prime editing (PE) has emerged as a versatile tool capable of inducing diverse mutations without generating DNA double‐strand breaks. Despite its significant clinical potential, PE faces limitations in terms of efficiency and scalability.
