Human IDO2 exhibits unique binding affinities distinct to those of human IDO1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Although indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 2 (IDO2) is highly homologous to IDO1, it displays markedly lower catalytic activity. We found that IDO2 binds L‐tryptophan (L‐Trp) in a flipped orientation stabilized by the IDO2‐specific residue His143. Replacement of His143 with the IDO1‐equivalent tyrosine restored an IDO1‐like binding mode and increased ...

Enzymatic oxidation of substituted tryptamines catalysed by monoamine oxidase

Nukleonika, 2014
The enzymatic deamination of 5-fl uorotryptamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT, catalysed by enzyme monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A, EC 1.4.3.4) was investigated using the kinetic (KIE) and solvent (SIE) isotope effects methods.

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based

The Structure of Carboxyl Methyltransferase Provides Insights Into the Substrate Specificity and Divergent Evolution of Iridoid

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iridoids constitute a prominent class of plant‐specialised metabolites, with carbocyclic iridoids (e.g., geniposide) and secoiridoids (e.g., loganin) diverging early in their biosynthetic pathways. This divergence is marked by substrate‐specific carboxyl methyltransferases—GjGAMT and CrLAMT—that catalyse the decisive methylation step in ...

The BAHD Acyltransferase Gene Family: Evolutionary Dynamics, Biochemical Mechanisms, and Roles in Plant Stress Adaptation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
BAHD acyltransferases drive metabolic diversification in plants by coupling conserved catalytic scaffolds with regulatory flexibility, enabling stress adaptation and ecological specialisation. ABSTRACT BAHD acyltransferases constitute one of the most versatile enzyme superfamilies in plants, catalysing the acylation of alcohols, amines, polyamines, and

First Tetraploa Genome and Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveal Key Plant‐Microbe‐Soil Interactions for Salt Tolerance and Yield Improvement of Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salinity is a major threat to global agricultural productivity of staple crops such as wheat. Although microbial‐based solutions hold promise for alleviating salinity stress, practical implementation is hindered by insufficient mechanistic characterization of bioinoculants and their interactions with plants.

On the Discorhabdins Leading to the Aleutianamine Ring System: A One‐Step in Situ Transformation Characterized Through Computational and Experimental Studies and Its Implications on Biosynthesis, Synthesis, and Pharmacology

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 17, 20 April 2026.
The thiocarbenium ion rearrangement of 3‐dihydrodisorhabdin B greatly increases the recovery of aleutianamine from Latrunculia spp., a pyrroloiminoquinone natural product with potent activity against drug‐resistant cancers, collected from the deep‐ocean along the Aleutian Islands.

Spatiotemporal Metabolome and Single‐Nucleus Transcriptome Integration Illuminates an Auxin Gradient Orchestrated by NtTAC1 Underlying Leaf Angle Regulation in Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Proposed model of TAC1‐mediated leaf angle regulation in tobacco. ABSTRACT Plant architecture is key to crop yield, with leaf angle being critical for high‐density cultivation. Although TAC1 represents a promising regulator of leaf angle for breeding, its molecular mechanism remains poorly understood, particularly at single‐nucleus resolution. Here, we
