Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Coupling of uridine-5'-diphosphate (UDP) formation and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) reduction for cytochemical localization of glycosyltransferases.

, 1983
A technique applicable to the cytochemical localization of glycosyltransferases through a series of coupled enzyme reactions is described. Uridine-5'-diphosphate (UDP) formed by glycosyltransferases is first phosphorylated to uridine-5'-triphosphate ...

Metabolome Diversity Enhances Resistance of Intertidal Clams to Thermal Stress

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Meretrix species are widely distributed intertidal bivalves in China with significant ecological and economic importance, which are sensitive to thermal stress. Our results showed that thermal environments of clam habitats shaped metabolome diversity, which can enhance the resistance of intertidal clams to thermal stress.

Controlling plant diseases by blocking pathogen food supply chain

Phytopathology Research
While plant pathogens rely on their hosts for nutrients, the specific way they take these nutrients remains unclear. Recently, Wang et al. discovered that the bacterial type III effector AvrBs2 acts as a xanthosan synthetase, facilitating the ...

Quantifying Protein–Glycan Interactions Using Native Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 800-828, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Interactions between glycan‐binding proteins (GBPs) and carbohydrates (glycans) are essential to many biological processes relevant to human health and disease. For most GBPs, however, their glycan interactome—the repertoire of glycans recognized and their specificities—is poorly defined.

Galactose Epimerase Deficiency: Expanding the Phenotype [PDF]

, 2017
Galactose epimerase deficiency is an inborn error of metabolism due to uridine diphosphate-galactose-4'-epimerase (GALE) deficiency. We report the clinical presentation, genetic and biochemical studies in two siblings with generalized GALE deficiency ...

Osmolality‐Independent Impact of Sodium on Glycosylation of an Fc‐Fusion Protein and the Hexosamine Biosynthesis Pathway in a Chinese Hamster Ovary Cell Line

Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 6, June 2026.
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Sodium and potassium supplementation in CHO batch culture elevates intracellular UDP‐HexNAc concentrations through activation of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP), independently of osmolality. Increased nucleotide sugar availability enhances Fc‐fusion protein glycosylation and reduces the abundance of low ...

An extensive computational approach to analyze and characterize the functional mutations in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) protein responsible for classical galactosemia [PDF]

, 2019
Type I galactosemia is a very rare autosomal recessive genetic metabolic disorder that occurs because of the mutations present in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) gene, resulting in a deficiency of the GALT enzyme.

Disarming the Pathogen's Metabolic Weapon: A Novel Route to Durable Disease Resistance

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
Two routes to sugar acquisition in pathogenic bacteria and corresponding ‘pathogen‐starvation’ strategies. TAL effectors activate plant SWEET transporters to promote sucrose efflux into the apoplast, which can be blocked by editing SWEET promoter effector‐binding elements to prevent TAL binding. The T3E AvrBs2 converts host UDP‐galactose into xanthosan,

Loss of SMARCAD1 Mitigates Tauopathy

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
Using genetics approaches in a C. elegans transgenic model of tauopathy, we uncover a role for the homolog of human SMARCAD1, a regulator of chromatin dynamics. ABSTRACT Tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the accumulation of misfolded tau protein and include Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementia disorders.
