A reverse chemical ecology approach to explore wood natural durability [PDF]
Microbial Biotechnology, 2020 Summary The natural durability of wood species, defined as their inherent resistance to wood‐destroying agents, is a complex phenomenon depending on many biotic and abiotic factors. Besides the presence of recalcitrant polymers, the presence of compounds

Glutathione Transferases [PDF]
The Arabidopsis Book, 2010 The 55 Arabidopsis glutathione transferases (GSTs) are, with one microsomal exception, a monophyletic group of soluble enzymes that can be divided into phi, tau, theta, zeta, lambda, dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and TCHQD classes. The populous phi and tau classes are often highly stress inducible and regularly crop up in proteomic and ...

Identification of the S-transferase like superfamily bacillithiol transferases encoded by Bacillus subtilis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Bacillithiol is a low molecular weight thiol found in Firmicutes that is analogous to glutathione, which is absent in these bacteria. Bacillithiol transferases catalyze the transfer of bacillithiol to various substrates.

Protein palmitoylation regulates osteoblast differentiation through BMP-induced osterix expression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Osteoporosis is one of the most common diseases and can be treated by either anti-resorption drugs, anabolic drugs, or both. To search for anabolic drug targets for osteoporosis therapy, it is crucial to understand the biology of bone forming cells ...

Glutathione Transferases as Efficient Ketosteroid Isomerases
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 In addition to their well-established role in detoxication, glutathione transferases (GSTs) have other biological functions. We are focusing on the ketosteroid isomerase activity, which appears to contribute to steroid hormone biosynthesis in mammalian ...
