Enzymatic modification of DNA nucleobases can coordinate gene expression, nuclease protection or mutagenesis. We recently discovered a clade of phage-specific cytosine methyltransferase (MT) and 5-methylpyrimidine dioxygenase (5mYOX) enzymes that produce 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) as a precur...
Mycelia of Diaporthe nobilis(50 mg) treated with CFS were collected,Each sample was homogenized in 400 µL of pre-cooled 80% methanol aqueous solution containing 0.02 mg/mL L-2-chlorophenylalanine (internal standard). The mixture was ground and subjected to ultrasonication at 4 °C for 30 min. Afte...
Kidney injury initiates epithelial dedifferentiation and myofibroblast activation during the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Herein, we found that the expression of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) was significantly increased in the kidney tissues of both CKD...
Folates participate in the one-carbon metabolism (OCM) cycle, supporting many biochemical pathways. Existing methods to profile folate are limited in the diversity of vitamers they measure and the samples they profile. We present a metabolomics workflow for stable extraction, separation, and meas...
Scope: The Caco2/HT29-MTX co-culture system is widely used as a cell model of the intestinal epithelium. Although the gut epithelium plays an important role in the uptake of free fatty acids and the resynthesis of triglycerides, the lipid distribution profile of the two-dimensional co-culture sys...
