A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

An Integrated Study of Ramie (Boehmeria nivea), and Its Wild, Cultivated, and Feral Forms

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Feralization, the re‐establishment of wild populations from domesticated ancestors, can involve multiple parallel character reversions and potentially also rampant gene flow with cultivated and/or naturally wild material.

The chromosome-level genome assembly and genes involved in biosynthesis of nervonic acid of Malania oleifera

open access: yesScientific Data, 2023
Nervonic acid (C24:1 Δ15, NA) is a very long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid, a clinically indispensable resource in maintaining the brain and nerve cells development and regeneration.

Antioxidant and Mineral Composition of Three Wild Leafy Species: A Comparison Between Microgreens and Baby Greens

open access: yesFoods, 2019
Wild plants may play an important role in human nutrition and health and, among them, many are the leafy species. We hypothesized that the wild greens could be profitably grown as microgreens and baby greens, specialty products whose market is increasing.

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Pulsed evolution shaped extant angiosperm pollen disparity

open access: yesNature Communications
Pollen grains, the male gametophyte of seed plants, are enclosed within sporopollenin walls that yield remarkable structural diversity and exceptional preservation, making them invaluable proxies for past plant diversity.

Coronaviruses in Avian Species – Review with Focus on Epidemiology and Diagnosis in Wild Birds

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Research, 2018
Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a large group of enveloped viruses with a single-strand RNA genome, which continuously circulate in mammals and birds and pose a threat to livestock, companion animals, and humans.

PARP inhibition and pharmacological ascorbate demonstrate synergy in castration‐resistant prostate cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pharmacologic ascorbate (vitamin C) increases ROS, disrupts cellular metabolism, and induces DNA damage in CRPC cells. These effects sensitize tumors to PARP inhibition, producing synergistic growth suppression with olaparib in vitro and significantly delayed tumor progression in vivo. Pyruvate rescue confirms ROS‐dependent activity.

Changes in resource-use strategy and phenotypic plasticity associated with selection for yield in wild species native to arid environments

open access: yes, 2015
Along history, wild plants have been introduced into cultivation and domestic derivatives radically altered by this move due to changes in selection pressure: wild species are exposed to natural selection that operates to continue survival and ...

Plecstatin inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and invasion through cytolinker plectin

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The ruthenium‐based metallodrug plecstatin exerts its anticancer effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) primarily through selective targeting of plectin. By disrupting plectin‐mediated cytoskeletal organization, plecstatin inhibits anchorage‐dependent growth, cell polarization, and tumor cell dissemination.
