MdFRK2-mediated sugar metabolism accelerates cellulose accumulation in apple and poplar

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2021
Background Cellulose is not only a common component in vascular plants, but also has great economic benefits for paper, wood, and industrial products. In addition, its biosynthesis is highly regulated by carbohydrate metabolism and allocation in plant ...

The multifaceted roles of lysosomes in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Lysosomes support cancer cell adaptation by integrating macromolecule degradation and nutrient recycling with nutrient sensing, inter‐organelle communication and immune regulation. These interconnected functions can promote tumour growth, stress tolerance and therapy resistance, while also creating context‐dependent vulnerabilities that may be ...

Evaluating the effect of γ‐oryzanol on MASLD pathology using a medaka fish model

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study explores a liver disease called MASLD, which is increasing worldwide and can lead to serious damage. Researchers used medaka fish instead of rodents to test a food compound, γ‐oryzanol. Fish fed this compound had less liver fat and healthier gut bacteria.

Research Progress on Sugar Signaling during Fruit Development and Ripening

Guangdong nongye kexue
Sugar is extremely important for the growth and development of fruits, and it is also vital for the improvement of fruit quality. In addition, its content, species, and proportion determine the sweetness and flavor of fruits, which in turn affect the ...

Identifying and characterising a plant GH1 β‐glucosidase that exhibits hydrolytic activity on N‐linked glucopyranoside

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We report the first β‐glucosidase with demonstrated hydrolytic activity on an N‐linked glycopyranoside. The enzyme, native to maize, was biochemically characterised for this novel reaction, and structural modelling of the enzyme–substrate complex revealed several clues to the underlying reduced catalytic rate relative to its native O‐glycopyranoside ...

An Investigation of the Health Benefits of Honey as a Replacement For Sugar In the Diet [PDF]

, 2008
Sugar (primarily sucrose) has been a part of the daily diet for literally hundreds of years, but research is now suggesting that sugar intake can be detrimental to our health. In particular, excessive consumption of simple sugars with high glycemic index

Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Sugar metabolism and accumulation in the fruit of transgenic apple trees with decreased sorbitol synthesis

Horticulture Research, 2018
Apple fruit: The advantages of a flexible sugar cycle Analysis of the sugar metabolism and transport system in apple trees shows how the fruit fructose level and fruit production is largely maintained in response to decreased sorbitol synthesis in leaves.

Effects of Potassium-Containing Fertilizers on Sugar and Organic Acid Metabolism in Grape Fruits

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
To identify suitable potassium fertilizers for grape (Vitis vinifera L.) production and study their mechanism of action, the effects of four potassium-containing fertilizers (complex fertilizer, potassium nitrate, potassium sulfate, and potassium ...
