Identification of an apiosyltransferase in the plant pathogen Xanthomonas pisi. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The rare branched-chain sugar apiose, once thought to only be present in the plant kingdom, was found in two bacterial species: Geminicoccus roseus and Xanthomonas pisi.

Combining phenotypic, physiological, and multi‐omics studies to provide new insights on the role of 2,4‐epibrassinolide in regulation of seed shattering in Elymus sibiricus L.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Seed shattering limits the production of Elymus sibiricus L., and application of exogenous brassinosteroid significantly alleviates plant organ abscission. Methods To explore the potential regulatory network of brassinosteroid on seed shattering, the abscission zone of E. sibiricus cv. Lanyu No.

Heparan sulfate and glycomimetics: Advances in synthesis and biological applications for post‐stroke neurorepair

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
ECM, extracellular matrix; BDNF, brain‐derived neuroptrophic factor; FGF, fibroblast growth factor; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor. Abstract Heparan sulfate, a structurally diverse glycosaminoglycan that is abundant in the central nervous system (CNS), orchestrates essential processes fundamental to neural plasticity, neurorepair, and ...

Identification of Novel Interacting Proteins of FUZ and GPR161

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protein–protein interactions are central to the dynamic regulation of signaling pathways and provide critical insight into the cellular mechanisms underlying human disease. Our previous study demonstrated biochemical and genetic interactions between FUZ and GPR161 in sonic hedgehog signaling during spinal neural tube development. In this study,

Substrate promiscuity catalyzed by an O-glycosyltransferase MrOGT2 from Metarhizium robertsii

Mycology
Glycosides tremendously extend the wide spectrum of biological activities of flavonoids and phenolics, which are catalysed by the glycosyltransferases (GTs) in diverse plants, bacteria, and fungi.

Cloning and characterization of a novel UDP-glycosyltransferase gene induced by DON from wheat

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2015
Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused primarily by Fusarium graminearum, is a destructive disease of wheat throughout the world. However, the mechanisms of host resistance to FHB are still largely unclear. Deoxynivalenol (DON) produced by F.

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Rational design of a highly active N-glycosyltransferase mutant using fragment replacement approach

Engineering Microbiology
The modularity of carbohydrate-active enzymes facilitates that enzymes with different functions have similar fragments. However, because of the complex structure of the enzyme active sites and the epistatic effects of various mutations on enzyme activity,

Transcriptomic and proteomic signatures underlying nymphal adaptation and foam production in the forage pest Mahanarva spectabilis

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
RNA‐seq and Batelli gland proteomics of fifth‐instar Mahanarva spectabilis nymphs reveal transcripts and proteins associated with xylem feeding, foam production and environmental interaction. Functional annotation identified genes involved in osmoregulation, detoxification, chemosensation and stress responses, while proteomic analysis confirmed ...
