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

open access: yesIntegrative 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 ...

Dynamic glycosylation of the transcription factor CREB: A potential role in gene regulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We report that CREB (cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein), a transcription factor essential for long-term memory, is O-GlcNAc glycosylated in the mammalian brain.

Engineering the bacterial nutrition strategy to control plant diseases

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesModern 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,

Orotic Aciduria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Orotic acid is an intermediate found in the pathway for pyrimidine synthesis. The mitochondrial enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) catalyzes the production of orotic acid by the conversion of the compound dihydroorotate to orotic acid.

Synthesis and Evaluation of the First Generation of Glycosylated Nucleoside Analogues as Potential Inhibitors of the Base J Metabolism in Kinetoplastid Parasites

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 10, 9 March 2026.
Novel analogues of the kinetoplastid‐specific DNA base J unlock a new way to target parasite epigenetic regulation. Some compounds selectively inhibit Leishmania and Trypanosoma species without harming human cells, revealing a promising route toward innovative antiparasitic therapies.

Conscious coupling: The challenges and opportunities of cascading enzymatic microreactors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The continuous production of high value or difficult to synthesize products is of increasing interest to the pharmaceutical industry. Cascading reaction systems have already been employed for chemical synthesis with great success, allowing a quick change

Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycans in CNS Development and Pathophysiology

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 104, Issue 3, March 2026.
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are critical components of the extracellular matrix in the central nervous system (CNS). In the developing CNS, CSPGs regulate neural precursor cells, neuronal migration, axon guidance, synapse organization, and peri‐neuronal net assembly.

An In vitro and in silico investigation of the antitrypanosomal activities of the stem bark extracts of Anopyxis klaineana (Pierre) Engl

open access: yesHeliyon
African Trypanosomiasis caused by trypanosome parasites continues to be a major neglected health problem, particularly in developing countries. Current treatments are marked by serious side effects, low effectiveness, high toxicity, and drug resistance ...

Mass Spectrometry in the Elucidation of the Glycoproteome of Bacterial Pathogens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Presently some three hundred post-translational modifications are known to occur in bacteria in vivo. Many of these modifications play critical roles in the regulation of proteins and control key biological processes.
