Comparative analyses of physicochemical and volatile flavor characteristics in hooked, trawl-net, and radar-net hairtail () muscles during long-term cryopreservation at -18°C.

Chemical analysis showed that pH, values, myosin turbidity, carbonyl content, and surface hydrophobicity elevated in hooked, trawl-net, and radar-net hairtail (, HH, TH, and RH) muscles with the prolonged cryopreservation time (-18℃, 120 d). In contrast, , values, textural properties, and myosin solubility existed decreasing trends. Microstructural results showed that freezing resulted in disordered myofibrils, decreased collagen fibers, widened myofibrillar space, and increased fragmentation in hairtail muscles.

Transcriptional expression of is positively controlled by the calcium signaling transcription factor Crz1 through its binding motif in the promoter.

The fungal cell wall consists of glucans, mannoproteins, and chitin and is essential for cell viability, morphogenesis, and pathogenesis. The enzymes of the GH72 family are responsible for ß-(1,3)-glucan elongation and branching, which is crucial for the formation of the glucan-chitin polymer at the bud neck of yeast cells. In the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, there are five GH72 enzyme-encoding genes: , and .

Cloning and biochemical characterization of a recombinant chitinase encoded by the CHT4 gene from Candida albicans.

As one of the major components in the fungal cell wall, chitin is a polymer of β-1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine. Chitinases are hydrolytic enzymes that break down glycosidic bonds in the chitin. The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans has three chitinase-encoding genes, CaCHT1, CaCHT2 and CaCHT3.

Cloning, expression, purification and biochemical characterization of the recombinant chitinase enzyme encoded by CTS2 in the budding yeast.

Chitin is a polymer of β-1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and plays a central role in the assembly of the fungal cell wall. Chitinases are hydrolytic enzymes that break down glycosidic bonds in the chitin. Chitinases are classified into three categories, endochitinases, exochitinases and N-acetylglucosaminases, according to the manner in which the enzyme cleaves the chitin polymer.

Cold-induced denaturation of muscle proteins in hairtail () during storage: Physicochemical and label-free based proteomics analyses.

Physicochemical, proteomics, and bioinformatics analyses were conducted to investigate protein profiles in under frozen (120 d) and chilled (6 d) storage. Springiness, chewiness, myofibrillar active sulfhydryl content, and Ca-ATPase activity significantly decreased, suggesting that cold stress altered muscle proteins. Compared with fresh hairtail (FH), 66 common differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) had lower abundances in chilled (3 d; CSH) and frozen (120 d; FSH) hairtail, including myosin binding proteins, filamins, actinin, troponin, and muscle-restricted coiled-coil protein.

Chemical and LC-MS-based lipidomics analyses revealed changes in lipid profiles in hairtail (Trichiurus haumela) muscle during chilled storage.

Chemical and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based lipidomics techniques were used to investigate the alternations of lipid profiles in hairtail (Trichiurus haumela) muscle after chilled storage for six days. The chemical results showed that the peroxide values (PVs) and thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) content in the muscle increased significantly, from 0.43 meq/kg of lipids and 0.

Frequency division denoising algorithm based on VIF adaptive 2D-VMD ultrasound image.

Ultrasound imaging has developed into an indispensable imaging technology in medical diagnosis and treatment applications due to its unique advantages, such as safety, affordability, and convenience. With the development of data information acquisition technology, ultrasound imaging is increasingly susceptible to speckle noise, which leads to defects, such as low resolution, poor contrast, spots, and shadows, which affect the accuracy of physician analysis and diagnosis. To solve this problem, we proposed a frequency division denoising algorithm combining transform domain and spatial domain.

The pH-sensing Rim101 pathway positively regulates the transcriptional expression of the calcium pump gene PMR1 to affect calcium sensitivity in budding yeast.

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Rim101 pathway senses extracellular pH changes through a complex consisted of Rim8, Rim9 and Rim21 at the plasma membrane. Activation of this sensor complex induces a proteolytical complex composed of Rim13 and Rim20 and leads to the C-terminal processing and activation of the transcription factor Rim101. Deletion mutants for RIM8, RIM9, RIM13, RIM20, RIM21 and RIM101 causes yeast cells to be sensitive to calcium stress, but how they regulate calcium sensitivity remain unknown.

Kappa-carrageenan oligosaccharides retard the progression of protein and lipid oxidation in mackerel () fillets during frozen storage.

The antioxidative effects of κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides (CO) on the stability of proteins and lipids in mackerel fillets were determined during frozen storage. Electronic nose analysis indicated that CO treatments maintained the stability of the overall volatile flavor profiles in frozen mackerel. Protein oxidation analysis suggested that the incorporation of CO significantly retarded the rapid decrease of Ca-ATPase activity and active sulphydryl (A-SH) contents while also effectively inhibiting the increases in carbonyl content and surface hydrophobicity of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) compared to the control treatments.

The protein kinase Cmk2 negatively regulates the calcium/calcineurin signalling pathway and expression of calcium pump genes PMR1 and PMC1 in budding yeast.

Through a genome-wide screen we have identified calcium-tolerant deletion mutants for five genes in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition to CNB1 and RCN1 that are known to play a role in the calcium signalling pathway, the protein kinase gene CMK2, the sphingolipid homeostasis-related gene ORM2 and the gene SIF2 encoding the WD40 repeat-containing subunit of Set3C histone deacetylase complex are involved in the calcium sensitivity of yeast cells to extracellular calcium. Cmk2 and the transcription factor Crz1 have opposite functions in the response of yeast cells to calcium stress.
