Quantifying Protein–Glycan Interactions Using Native Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
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.

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 ...

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 ...

Engineering the bacterial nutrition strategy to control plant diseases

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This commentary on Wang et al. (2025) and Phan et al. (2025) highlights previously undiscovered Xanthomonas pathways for nutrition acquisition, explains how Xanthomonas bacteria hijack host molecular machinery through their effector proteins, and discusses how these studies can be used to develop new disease resistance mechanisms.

Distinct Metabolomic Alterations Are Associated With Physical Function, Weight Loss, and Muscle Mass in Men With Cancer

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Treatments for cancer cachexia, defined as involuntary weight and muscle mass loss leading to significant functional impairment, remain unavailable partly due to insufficient improvement of clinically meaningful outcomes in current trials.

OsUGT88C3 Encodes a UDP-Glycosyltransferase Responsible for Biosynthesis of Malvidin 3-O-Galactoside in Rice

Plants
The diversity of anthocyanins is largely due to the action of glycosyltransferases, which add sugar moieties to anthocyanidins. Although a number of glycosyltransferases have been identified to glycosylate anthocyanidin in plants, the enzyme that ...
