Selective Detoxification of Phenols by Pichia pastoris and Arabidopsis thaliana Heterologously Expressing the PtUGT72B1 from Populus trichocarpa. [PDF]
Phenols are present in the environment and commonly in contact with humans and animals because of their wide applications in many industries. In a previous study, we reported that uridine diphosphate-glucose-dependent glucosyltransferase PtUGT72B1 from ...

Metabolic processes sustaining the reviviscence of lichen Xanthoria elegans (Link) in high mountain environments. [PDF]
International audienceTo survive in high mountain environments lichens must adapt themselves to alternating periods of desiccation and hydration. Respiration and photosynthesis of the foliaceous lichen, Xanthoria elegans, in the dehydrated state were ...

Trehalose Phosphate Synthesis from Uridine Diphosphate Glucose or Guanosine Diphosphate Glucose
Abstract Cell-free extracts of a number of mycobacteria catalyzed the synthesis of trehalose phosphate from either uridine diphosphate-d-glucose or guanosine diphosphate-d-glucose and glucose 6-phosphate. A cell-free extract of Mycobacterium smegmatis was separated into two fractions by chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose.

Analysis of the regulation of undecaprenyl diphosphate dephosphorylation in Escherichia coli
BacA, PgpB, and YbjG phosphatases are involved in undecaprenyl phosphate (C55P) synthesis in Escherichia coli. We analyzed the lipid contents and the gene expression in the gene‐disruption strains. Undecaprenyl diphosphate (C55PP) level increased in the bacA, ybjG double‐disruption strain, but C55P levels were similar in all strains.

Functional and genetic evidence that nucleoside transport is highly conserved in Leishmania species: Implications for pyrimidine-based chemotherapy [PDF]
Leishmania pyrimidine salvage is replete with opportunities for therapeutic intervention with enzyme inhibitors or antimetabolites. Their uptake into cells depends upon specific transporters; therefore it is essential to establish whether various ...

2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose metabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana
2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) is glucose analogue routinely used in clinical and animal radiotracer studies to trace glucose uptake but it has rarely been used in plants.
