Article Synopsis
- Regulation of CO fixation in cyanobacteria is crucial for both the organism's survival and the global carbon cycle.
- A distinct ATP-sensing mechanism in the enzyme phosphoketolase (SeXPK) allows it to redirect carbon flow away from the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle when ATP levels decrease.
- Deleting the SeXPK gene significantly boosts carbon fixation, especially during transitions from light to dark, and can lead to unexpected sucrose secretion, highlighting its regulatory importance across various life forms.
Memory retrieval dysfunction is a symptom of schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and absence epilepsy (AE), as well as an early sign of Alzheimer's disease. To date, few drugs have been reported to enhance memory retrieval. Here, we found that a coral-derived natural product, excavatolide-B (Exc-B), enhances contextual memory retrieval in both wild-type and mice via repressing the delayed rectifier potassium current, thus lowering the threshold for action potential initiation and enhancing induction of long-term potentiation (LTP).
