Rhizobia are nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria that can infect legume plants to establish root nodules symbiosis. To do that, a complex exchange of molecular signals occurs between plants and bacteria. Among them, rhizobial Nops (Nodulation outer proteins), secreted by a type III secretion system (T3SS) determine the host-specificity for efficient symb...

Acetaldehyde–alcohol dehydrogenase (AdhE) converts acetyl-CoA to ethanol and is a key enzyme in bacterial alcoholic fermentation. AdhE forms spirosomes and, here, the authors present the cryoEM structures of compact and extended E.coli AdhE spirosomes and show that the extended conformation is the catalytically active form of the enzyme and discuss...

How living systems respond to weak electromagnetic fields represents one of the major unsolved challenges in sensory biology. Recent evidence has implicated cryptochrome, an evolutionarily conserved flavoprotein receptor, in magnetic field responses of organisms ranging from plants to migratory birds. However, whether cryptochromes fulfill the crit...

The diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency is a primary public health goal. This study aimed to make an inventory of the use of biomarkers to assess the iron supply in patients given iron replacement therapy. A retrospective longitudinal real-world study of a cohort of patients receiving iron replacement therapy was conducted using data from he...

In bacteria, glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P) synthase, GlmS, is an enzyme required for the synthesis of Uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), a precursor of peptidoglycan. In Bacillus subtilis, an UDP-GlcNAc binding protein, GlmR (formerly YvcK), essential for growth on non-glycolytic carbon sources, has been proposed to stimulate ...

Activated macrophages undergo a metabolic switch to aerobic glycolysis accumulating Krebs cycle intermediates that alter transcription of immune response genes. Here we extend these observations by defining fumarate as an inhibitor of pyroptotic cell death. We found that dimethyl fumarate (DMF) delivered to cells or endogenous fumarate reacts with ...

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is necessary for the optimal administration of anti-arrhythmic drugs in the treatment of heart arrhythmia. The present study aimed to develop and validate a direct analysis in real time tandem mass spectrometry (DART–MS/MS) method for the rapid and simultaneous determination of five anti-arrhythmic drugs (metoprolo...

cis-3-Hexen-1-ol has been regarded as the main source of green aroma (or green odor) in green tea. However, no clear findings on the composition of green aroma components in tea and the effect of cis-3-hexen-1-ol on other aroma components have been reported. In this study, the main green aroma components in green tea were characterized, especially ...
