Human CBS1 is a methionine sulfoxide reductase of type B (MSRB) as it specifically reduced Met-R-SO in peptides with dithiothreitol or the thioredoxin system as reductants. Mutation C169S in the active site completely abolished enzymatic activity, while mutation W110A only reduced activity and C105S had no effect. Like human MSRA, hCBS1 showed in vivo reducing activity coexpressed with the Drosophila ShC/B potassium channel in oocytes, by accelerating the overall inactivation time course. hCBS1-encoding mRNA is most abundant in muscle tissues, especially in the heart and thereby shows an expression pattern different to the human MSRA.

Glyphosate (Gly) is a widely used herbicide for weed control in agriculture, but it can also adversely affect crops by impairing growth, reducing yield, and disrupting nutrient uptake, while inducing toxicity. Therefore, adopting integrated eco-friendly approaches and understanding the mechanisms of glyphosate tolerance in plants is crucial, as these areas remain underexplored. This study provides proteome insights into Si-mediated improvement of Gly-toxicity tolerance in Brassica napus.

Norway maple and sycamore belong to the Acer genus and produce desiccation-tolerant and desiccation-sensitive seeds, respectively. We investigated the seed germination process at the imbibed and germinated stages using metabolomic and proteomic approaches to determine why sycamore seeds germinate earlier and are more successful at establishing seedlings than Norway maple seeds under controlled conditions. Embryonic axes and embryonic axes with protruded radicles were analyzed at the imbibed and germinated stages, respectively.

The development of targeted therapies that correct the effect of mutations in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and the relevant heterogeneity of the clinical expression of the disease require biomarkers correlated to the severity of the disease useful for monitoring the therapeutic effects. We applied a targeted metabolomic approach by LC-MS/MS on saliva samples from 70 adult CF patients and 63 age/sex-matched controls to investigate alterations in metabolic pathways related to pancreatic insufficiency (PI), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) colonization, CF liver disease (CFLD), and CF related diabetes (CFRD). Sixty salivary metabolites were differentially expressed, with 11 being less abundant and 49 more abundant in CF patients.

Article Synopsis
- The probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) was studied for its effects on atherosclerosis in mice fed a high-fat diet, revealing its potential to alleviate disease progression.
- EcN treatment reduced atherosclerotic plaque formation, improved cholesterol levels, and inhibited the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins linked to inflammation.
- Further analysis showed that EcN regulated gut microbiota and metabolite levels, suggesting a mechanism for its beneficial effects, although antibiotics partially reversed these outcomes.

The stability of the precursor is essential for producing high-quality perovskite films with minimal non-radiative recombination. In this study, methionine sulfoxide (MTSO), which features multiple electron-donation sites, is strategically chosen as a precursor stabilizer and crystal growth mediator for inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). MTSO stabilizes the precursor by inhibiting the oxidation of iodide ions and passivates charged traps through coordination and hydrogen bonding interactions.
