MetabolomicsTowards engineering ectomycorrhization into switchgrass bioenergy crops via a lectin receptor-like kinase
Soil-borne microbes can establish compatible relationships with host plants, providing a large variety of nutritive and protective compounds in exchange for photosynthesized sugars. However, the molecular mechanisms mediating the establishment of these beneficial relationships remain unclear. Our pr...

MetabolomicsMembrane lipid as cofactor of cargo uptake and release by box-like lipid transfer proteins
Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) shuttle their cargo lipids between cellular membranes. LTPs facilitate the costly extraction of a lipid from a donor membrane, and its delivery into the acceptor membrane, but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. We combined extensive molecular dynamics simulations...

MetabolomicsStress-related mitogen-activated protein kinases stimulate the accumulation of small molecules and proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana root exudates
A delicate balance in cellular signaling is required for plants to distinguish mutualist from parasitic organisms in its environment. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are one of the signaling modules that mediate transduction of extracellular microbial signals into appropriate cellul...

MetabolomicsNMR based metabolomics study of Y2 receptor activation by neuropeptide Y in the SK-N-BE2 human neuroblastoma cell line
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and its Y2 receptors (Y2R) play an important role in regulating growth of various tumors and are highly expressed in human neuroblastoma brain tumors. Cell lines derived from neuroblastoma brain tumors provide a good model to study the consequences of NPY activation of Y2R in tu...

Metabolomics1H NMR Metabolomics Reveals Association of High Expression of Inositol 1, 4, 5 Trisphosphate Receptor and Metabolites in Breast Cancer Patients
1H NMR is used to detect alterations in metabolites and their linkage to metabolic processes in a number of pathological conditions including breast cancer. Inositol 1, 4, 5 trisphosphate (IP3R) receptor is an intracellular calcium channel known to regulate metabolism and cellular bioenergetics. Its...

MetabolomicsLsr2, a novel cyclic di-GMP receptor, regulate the synthesis of keto-mycolic acid and control biofilm formation in mycobacteria

Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a well-known second messenger that plays a key role in many physiological processes in bacteria. The synthesis of lipids is essential for bacterial biofilm formation. However, whether c-di-GMP signaling modulates the synthesis of lipid and further regulates biofilm for...

MetabolomicsJejunal inflammatory cytokines, barrier proteins and microbiome-metabolome responses to early supplementary feeding of Bamei suckling piglets

BACKGROUND: Dietary intervention has been reported to improve intestinal health. The intestinal microbiota of newborn animals plays a fundamental role in the development of intestinal function and the innate immune system. However, little is currently known about dietary interven...

MetabolomicsDeletion of glycerol channel aquaporin-9 (Aqp9) impairs long-term blood glucose control in C57BL/6 leptin receptor-deficient (db/db) obese mice
Deletion of the glycerol channel aquaporin-9 (Aqp9) reduces postprandial blood glucose levels in leptin receptor deficient (db/db) obese mice on a C57BL/6×C57BLKS mixed genetic background. Furthermore, shRNA mediated reduction of Aqp9 expression reduces liver triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation in a ...

MetabolomicsNon-redundant cardiolipin synthase family proteins shape lipid composition and stress resilience in Bacteroides fragilis

Gut-resident bacteria must withstand membrane-disrupting stresses such as bile acids to persist in the intestinal environment. The Bacteroidota are a dominant phylum of the human gut microbiota. However, the genes responsible for synthesis of membrane lipids in this phylum remain relatively uncha...

MetabolomicsPomegranate Peel Extract as an Inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Binding to Human ACE2 Receptor (in vitro): A Promising Source of Novel Antiviral Drugs
Plant extracts are rich in bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols, sesquiterpenes, and triterpenes, which potentially have antiviral activities. As a consequence of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, thousands of...
