A multi-omics approach reveals a link between ribosomal protein alterations and proteome rebalancing in Arabidopsis thaliana seeds.

The ability of seeds to restore their amino acid content and composition after the elimination of the most abundant seed storage proteins (SSPs) is well-documented, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To better understand how seeds compensate for major proteomic disruptions, we conducted a comprehensive analysis on an Arabidopsis mutant lacking the three most abundant SSPs, the cruciferins. Our initial findings indicated that carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur levels, as well as total protein and oil content, remained unchanged in these mutants suggesting rebalanced seeds.

()-2-Carb-oxy-ethyl l-cysteinyl sulfone.

The title compound {systematic name: (2)-2-aza-niumyl-3-[(2-carb-oxy-ethane)-sulfon-yl]propano-ate}, CHNOS, forms enanti-opure crystals in the monoclinic space group 2 and exists as a zwitterion, with a protonated α-amino group and a deprotonated α-carboxyl group. Both the carboxyl groups and the amino group are involved in an extensive multicentered inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding scheme. In the crystal, the diperiodic network of hydrogen bonds propagates parallel to (101) and involves inter-connected heterodromic (10) rings.

Insights on Carbohydrate Binding from Profiles of Cystic Fibrosis Isolates Using Multivalent Fluorescent Glycopolymers Bearing Pendant Monosaccharides.

contributes to frequent, persistent, and, often, polymicrobial respiratory tract infections for individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). Chronic CF infections lead to bronchiectasis and a shortened lifespan. expresses numerous adhesins, including lectins known to bind the epithelial cell and mucin glycoconjugates.

Elemental sulfur concentration can be used as a rapid, reliable, and cost-effective predictor of sulfur amino acid content of soybean seeds.

In this study, we have examined the feasibility of using elemental sulfur content of soybean seeds as a proxy for the overall sulfur amino acid content of soybean seeds. Earlier, we have identified by high throughput ionomic phenotyping several high and low sulfur containing soybean lines from the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection. Here, we measured the cysteine and methionine content of select soybean lines by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Elevated ferritin, mediated by IL-18 is associated with systemic inflammation and mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Background: Inflammatory subphenotypes have been identified in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Hyperferritinaemia in sepsis is associated with hyperinflammation, worse clinical outcomes, and may predict benefit with immunomodulation. Our aim was to determine if raised ferritin identified a subphenotype in patients with ARDS.
