Bond cleavage of lignin model compounds into aromatic monomers using supported metal catalysts in supercritical water [PDF]
More efficient use of lignin carbon is necessary for carbon-efficient utilization of lignocellulosic biomass. Conversion of lignin into valuable aromatic compounds requires the cleavage of C–O ether bonds and C–C bonds between lignin monomer units.

We analyzed nucleotide characteristics of eukaryotic translation elongation factor‐1α (eEF‐lα) gene from 165 Phytophthora infestans isolates and the physical and chemical properties of its derived proteins. Our results indicate that post‐translation modifications may function synergistically with nucleotide codes to regulate the adaptive landscape of ...

The role of the yeast cleavage and polyadenylation factor subunit Ydh1p/Cft2p in pre-mRNA 3'-end formation [PDF]
Cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF) is a multi-protein complex that functions in pre-mRNA 3'-end formation and in the RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) transcription cycle.

Clerocidin interacts with the cleavage complex of Streptococcus pneumoniae topoisomerase IV to induce selective irreversible DNA damage [PDF]
Clerocidin (CL), a diterpenoid natural product, alkylates DNA through its epoxide moiety and exhibits both anticancer and antibacterial activities. We have examined CLaction in the presence of topoisomerase IV from Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Crystal structure of the 25 kDa subunit of human cleavage factor Im [PDF]
Cleavage factor I(m) is an essential component of the pre-messenger RNA 3'-end processing machinery in higher eukaryotes, participating in both the polyadenylation and cleavage steps. Cleavage factor I(m) is an oligomer composed of a small 25 kDa subunit

Ruthenium porphyrin-ß-cyclodextrin complexes as supramolecular enzyme models for regioselective cleavage of carotenoids [PDF]
All naturally occurring vitamin A derives from enzymatic oxidative cleavage of β,β-carotene or other carotenoids with pro-vitamin A activity. Two metabolic pathways of β,β-carotene to retinal (vitamin A aldehyde) have been proposed: the central cleavage ...

A Cryptic Alternative for the Evolution of Hyphae
The current view that hyphae evolved about 400 million years ago when plants and fungi colonized land is challenged. Recent recognition of a deep biosphere fossil record provides an alternative view on hyphae: one where the fundamental functions of hyphae developed in ancient cryptic habitats and already where adapted for a terrestrial life‐style when ...

Biochemical characterization and three-dimensional structure analysis of the yeast cleavage and polyadenylation factor CPF [PDF]
In eukaryotes, protein-encoding genes are transcribed in the nucleus by RNA polymerase II (RNAP II). Before the gene transcript (pre-mRNA) is transported to the cytoplasm and can function in translation, it has to undergo three specific maturation ...

PiCAT2 is required for P. infestans asexual reproduction, abiotic stress tolerance, and pathogenicity; reducing or elevating catalase activity suppresses sporangia formation, germination, and appressoria formation. Abstract Catalase is present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and is important for the protective effects of the antioxidant system ...
