J Exp Bot . 2024 Dec; PMID: 39726278
In aerobic life forms, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by the partial reduction of oxygen during energy-generating metabolic processes. In plants, ROS production increases during periods of both abiotic...

Scherschel M, Niemeier J, Jacobs L, Hoffmann M, Diederich A, Bell C, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 Dec; 15(1):10704. PMID: 39702652
The NADPH/NADP redox couple is central to metabolism and redox signalling. NADP redox state is differentially regulated by distinct enzymatic machineries at the subcellular compartment level. Nonetheless, a detailed understanding...

iScience . 2024 Dec; 27(12):111336. PMID: 39640569
HYlight is a genetically encoded fluorescent biosensor that ratiometrically monitors fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), a key glycolytic metabolite. Given the role of glucose in liver cancer metabolism, we expressed HYlight in...

Nat Commun . 2024 Nov; 15(1):9522. PMID: 39496584
Fat accumulation, de novo lipogenesis, and glycolysis are key drivers of hepatocyte reprogramming and the consequent metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Here we report that obesity leads to dysregulated...

Front Plant Sci . 2024 Oct; 15:1487328. PMID: 39445148
We review the newly classified ascorbate peroxidase-related (APX-R) proteins, which do not use ascorbate as electron donor to scavenge HO. We summarize recent discoveries on the function and the characterization...

Mol Microbiol . 2024 Jun; 122(2):201-212. PMID: 38922722
An arsenate reductase (Car1) from the Bacteroidetes species Rufibacter tibetensis 1351 was isolated from the Tibetan Plateau. The strain exhibits resistance to arsenite [As(III)] and arsenate [As(V)] and reduces As(V)...

Int J Pharm . 2024 Apr; 657:124132. PMID: 38641019
Targeting enzymes involved in lipid metabolism is increasingly recognized as a promising anticancer strategy. Efficient inhibition of diacylglycerol O-transferase 1 (DGAT1) can block fatty acid (FA) storage. This, in turn,...
