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.

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

Increased sugar content impairs pollen fertility and reduces seed-setting in high-photosynthetic-efficiency rice

Crop Journal
Crop yield depends on biomass, which is primarily associated with photosynthesis. We previously demonstrated that two photorespiratory bypasses, i.e., GOC (glycolate oxidase + oxalate oxidase + catalase) and GCGT (glycolate oxidase + catalase ...

Overexpression of UDP-glucose dehydrogenase from Larix gmelinii enhances growth and cold tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana

Biologia Plantarum, 2017
Uridine diphosphate glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) plays an important role in biosynthesis of hemicellulose by catalyzing oxidation of UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) to UDP-glucuronate (UDP-GlcA), a key sugar nucleotide involved in biosynthesis of the plant cell ...

Functional and transcriptomic analyses in Neurospora crassa reveal a crucial role for the N‐glycoprotein deglycosylation process in fungal homeostasis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In Neurospora crassa, a cytosolic GH18 endo‐β‐n‐acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) functions as an active deglycosylating enzyme. Deletion of this severely alters tolerance to multiple stress conditions and causes extensive transcriptomic reprogramming, including upregulation of a GH20 exo‐β‐n‐acetylhexosaminidase under ER stress, indicating that N. crassa

Isotope Tracing Untargeted Metabolomics Reveals Macrophage Polarization-State-Specific Metabolic Coordination across Intracellular Compartments

iScience, 2018
Summary: We apply stable isotope tracing, mass-spectrometry-based untargeted metabolomics, to reveal the biochemical space labeled by 13C-substrates in bone-marrow-derived macrophages. At the pathway level, classically (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]-polarized,

Evaluation of Torula Yeast (Candida utilis) Single Cell Proteins as a Partial Replacement for Soybean Meal in Broiler Diets: Effects on Productive Performance, Meat Quality Traits, and Plasma Metabolome

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over recent years the use of yeast in feedstuffs has gained momentum due to novel developments in single‐cell proteins (SCPs). SCPs are considered a sustainable protein source, as their production enable to convert low‐value substrates (including industrial/agricultural wastes) into feed, with a related reduced environmental impact.

Development of In Vitro and In Planta Strategies for Efficient Production of High‐Value Steviol Glycosides

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Steviol glycosides (SGs) are a group of sweet‐tasting diterpene glycosides found in Stevia rebaudiana. Production of high‐value SGs, Rebaudioside D (Reb D) and Reb M, is limited by inefficient conversion of Reb A to Reb D and stevioside to Reb E.
