Wojtyla L, Wleklik K, Borek S, Garnczarska M
Int J Mol Sci . 2024 Dec; 25(23). PMID: 39684300
Polyamines (PAs), such as putrescine, spermine, and spermidine, are bioactive molecules that play a vital role in plant responses to stresses. Although they are frequently applied to achieve higher levels...

Stafiej A, Wleklik K, Przybylak M, Borek S
Postepy Biochem . 2024 Oct; 70(3):400-412. PMID: 39365574
Lipases are enzymes commonly found in microorganisms, fungi, plants and animals. Their main function in cell metabolism is the hydrolysis (lipolysis) of ester bonds between fatty acids and glycerol in...

Przybylak M, Wleklik K, Stafiej A, Borek S
Postepy Biochem . 2024 Jul; 69(4):245-253. PMID: 39012701
Vacuolar processing enzymes (VPEs) are plant proteases belonging to the C13 protease family. The specific activity of VPEs was characterized by comparing them to animal caspases. VPEs perform many important...

Wleklik K, Stefaniak S, Nuc K, Pietrowska-Borek M, Borek S
Int J Mol Sci . 2024 Jan; 25(1). PMID: 38203260
Autophagy is a fundamental process for plants that plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and promoting survival in response to various environmental stresses. One of the lesser-known stages...

Dobrogojski J, Nguyen V, Kowalska J, Borek S, Pietrowska-Borek M
Int J Mol Sci . 2023 Dec; 24(23). PMID: 38069010
Dinucleoside polyphosphates (NpNs) are considered novel signalling molecules involved in the induction of plant defence mechanisms. However, NpN signal recognition and transduction are still enigmatic. Therefore, the aim of our...

Borek S, Stefaniak S, Nuc K, Wojtyla L, Ratajczak E, Sitkiewicz E, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2023 Jul; 24(14). PMID: 37511532
Under nutrient deficiency or starvation conditions, the mobilization of storage compounds during seed germination is enhanced to primarily supply respiratory substrates and hence increase the potential of cell survival. Nevertheless,...

Wleklik K, Borek S
Int J Mol Sci . 2023 Jan; 24(2). PMID: 36674706
Vacuolar processing enzymes (VPEs) are plant cysteine proteases that are subjected to autoactivation in an acidic pH. It is presumed that VPEs, by activating other vacuolar hydrolases, are in control...

Pietrowska-Borek M, Dobrogojski J, Wojdyla-Mamon A, Romanowska J, Golebiewska J, Borek S, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2021 Dec; 22(24). PMID: 34948365
It is known that cells contain various uncommon nucleotides such as dinucleoside polyphosphates (NpN's) and adenosine 5'-phosphoramidate (NH-pA) belonging to nucleoside 5'-phosphoramidates (NH-pNs). Their cellular levels are enzymatically controlled. Some...

Stefaniak S, Wojtyla L, Pietrowska-Borek M, Borek S
Int J Mol Sci . 2020 Mar; 21(6). PMID: 32210003
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that occurs in yeast, plants, and animals. Despite many years of research, some aspects of autophagy are still not fully explained. This mostly concerns...

Pietrowska-Borek M, Dobrogojski J, Sobieszczuk-Nowicka E, Borek S
Cells . 2020 Feb; 9(2). PMID: 32024306
New players in plant signaling are described in detail in this review: extracellular ATP (eATP) and uncommon nucleotides such as dinucleoside polyphosphates (NpN's), adenosine 5'-phosphoramidate (NH-pA), and extracellular NAD and...
