Uridine diphosphate glucose confers oxidative stress tolerance in microalgae [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Microalgae, as major primary producers on Earth, are constantly exposed to oxidative stresses from various natural environments. These oxidative stresses often seriously threaten the productivity and species composition of microalgae. However,

Uridine Diphosphate Glucose (UDP-G) Activates Oxidative Stress and Respiratory Burst in Isolated Neutrophils [PDF]

Pharmaceuticals, 2023
The extracellular purinergic agonist uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-G) activates chemotaxis of human neutrophils (PMN) and the recruitment of PMN at the lung level, via P2Y14 purinergic receptor signaling.

Glucokinase Variant Proteins Are Resistant to Fasting-Induced Uridine Diphosphate Glucose-Dependent Degradation in Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young Type 2 Patients [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
We previously reported that glucokinase undergoes ubiquitination and subsequent degradation, a process mediated by cereblon, particularly in the presence of uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose). In this context, we hereby present evidence showcasing

Centella Asiatica Alleviates Type 2 Diabetes-Related Hepatic Glycolipid Disorders via Regulating UPP1-Mediated Pyrimidine Metabolism [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by glycolipid dysregulation and hepatic steatosis. Centella asiatica (CA) and its triterpenoid constituents exert metabolic benefits.

UDP-glucose and MRS2905 agonist-bound states of the purinergic P2Y14 receptor [PDF]

Communications Biology
P2Y14 receptors respond to uracil-diphosphate-hexose conjugates, yet how this receptor selectively recognizes both uracil-nucleotides and hexose moieties of diverse agonists remains unclear.

HvPHO1 Controls a Glucose 1-Phosphate-SnRK1 Signalling Module That Coordinates Starch Accumulation in Barley Endosperm. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Developing barley grains must balance the use of imported sucrose between soluble sugars and storage starch, but how this balance is controlled remains unclear. Here we show that loss of the plastidial α‐glucan phosphorylase HvPHO1 causes starch and soluble sugars to accumulate concurrently in barley grains.

Identification of sucrose synthase from Micractinium conductrix to favor biocatalytic glycosylation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Sucrose synthase (SuSy, EC 2.4.1.13) is a unique glycosyltransferase (GT) for developing cost-effective glycosylation processes. Up to now, some SuSys derived from plants and bacteria have been used to recycle uridine 5′-diphosphate glucose in the ...
