Important Research

 
 
 
 
Interconnection between hexosamine biosynthesis and protein glycosylation: their roles and abiotic stress response in plants

 
N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is the fundamental amino sugar moiety essential for the glycosylation of protein, lipid, and cell wall components. UDP-GlcNAc, an active form of GlcNAc, is synthesized through the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Structural elucidation and prognostic relevance of 297-11A-sulfated glycans in ovarian carcinoma

 
Ovarian carcinoma is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage with peritoneal dissemination and/or lymph node metastasis, and the prognosis for such advanced carcinoma is very poor.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The positively charged cluster in the N-terminal disordered region may affect prion protein misfolding: Cryo-EM structure of hamster PrP(23-144) fibrils

 
Prions, the misfolding form of prion proteins, are contagious proteinaceous macromolecules. Recent studies have shown that infectious prion fibrils formed in the brain and non-infectious fibrils formed from recombinant prion protein in a partially denaturing condition have distinct structures.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Lipoarabinomannan modification as a source of phenotypic heterogeneity in host-adapted Mycobacterium abscessus isolates

 
Mycobacterium abscessus is increasingly recognized as the causative agent of chronic pulmonary infections in humans. One of the genes found to be under strong evolutionary pressure during adaptation of M. abscessus to the human lung is embC which encodes an arabinosyltransferase required for the biosynthesis of the cell envelope lipoglycan, lipoarabinomannan (LAM).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora detects prey pheromones via G protein-coupled receptors

 
The capability to sense and respond to the environment is essential for survival and fitness in all organisms. Recent studies have shown organisms from different kingdoms, such as fungi, plants, and mammals can recognize and respond to conserved nematode pheromones, named ascarosides. However, the mechanisms underlying cross kingdom perception of nematode pheromones remain unclear.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A newly evolved rice-specific gene JAUP1 regulates jasmonate biosynthesis and signaling to promote root development and multi-stress tolerance

 
Root architecture and function are critical for plants to secure water and nutrient supply from the soil, but environmental stresses alter root development. The phytohormone jasmonic acid (JA) regulates plant growth and responses to wounding and other stresses, but its role in root development for adaptation to environmental challenges had not been well investigated.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Unsupervised Clustering Identified Clinically Relevant Metabolic Syndrome Endotypes in UK and Taiwan Biobanks

 
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a collection of cardiovascular risk factors; however, the high prevalence and heterogeneity impede effective clinical management.
