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

Mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 “Cryptic,” or Deficient in 5′-Nucleotidase (Uridine Diphosphate-Sugar Hydrolase) and 3′-Nucleotidase (Cyclic Phosphodiesterase) Activity [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1973
Mutants of Escherichia coli have been selected for the absence of 5′-nucleotidase (uridine diphosphate-sugar hydrolase) and 3′-nucleotidase (2′,3′-cyclic phophodiesterase). Mutants selected for the absence of 5′-nucleotidase are of two kinds: those that lack detectable activity for the enzyme (Ush −

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

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.

Corynebacterium glutamicum for Microbial Production of Chitin Oligosaccharides Using Modular Engineering

Food Bioengineering
Microbial fermentation is a potent strategy for eco‐friendly and sustainable chitin oligosaccharide (CHOS) production. Nonetheless, hurdles (e.g., imbalanced metabolic flow and the need for uridine diphosphate (UDP)‐sugar donor consumption in CHOS ...

Effect of Glucose and Galactose Loading in Normal Subjects on Red and White Blood Cell Uridine Diphosphate Sugars

Biochemical and Molecular Medicine, 1995
In order to test the assumption that red blood cell (RBC) uridine diphosphate galactose content is regulated in part by dietary galactose and to help comprehend factors influencing RBC and white blood cell (WBC) uridine diphosphate hexose concentrations in vivo, oral loading studies were performed with 50 g of galactose or 75 g of glucose in normal ...

Immunometabolic Dysregulation in Obesity: Integrating Macrophage Polarization, Metabolic Reprogramming, and Gut Microbiota Crosstalk

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Obesity is characterized by chronic low‐grade systemic inflammation, in which adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) play a pivotal role in driving immune and metabolic dysfunction. Objective This review summarizes current evidence on the roles of ATMs in obese adipose tissue and examines how macrophage polarization and metabolic ...
