The development of delayed bitterness in citrus products is a major problem to citrus producers and juice processors worldwide. A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) method has been developed to quantify the recognized precursors of limonoid derived delayed bitterness, limonoate and nomilinoate A-ring lactones, in a wide variety of citrus juices. The limonoid A-ring lactones were isolated by solid-phase extraction from juice samples, analyzed by negative ion LC-ESI-MS and quantified utilizing the standard addition method.

BTG13, a non-heme iron-dependent enzyme with a distinctive coordination environment of four histidines and a carboxylated lysine, has been found to catalyze the cleavage of the C4a-C10 bond in anthraquinone. Contrary to typical dioxygenase mechanisms, our quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) calculations reveal that BTG13 functions more like a monooxygenase. It selectively inserts an oxygen atom into the C10-C4a bond, creating a lactone species that subsequently undergoes hydrolysis, leading to the formation of a ring-opened product.

Article Synopsis
- (+)-Mannolide B features a complex hexacyclic structure with multiple stereocenters, presenting challenges for its total synthesis.
- A successful strategy involved ring-closing metathesis starting from (-)-methyl jasmonate to construct its tetracyclic carbon skeleton.
- The synthesis included various attempts, ultimately culminating in a Pauson-Khand reaction and a Büchner-Curtius-Schlotterbeck reaction, leading to the first total synthesis of (+)-mannolide B in 24 steps.

Bile acids (BAs) are steroidal molecules that play important roles in nutrient absorption, distribution, and excretion. They also act on specific receptors implicated in various metabolic and inflammatory diseases demonstrating their importance as potential drug candidates. Accordingly, there has been a concerted effort to develop new BA derivatives to probe structure-activity relationships with the goal of discovering BA analogues with enhanced pharmacological properties.

Parasites of the genus pose a global health threat with limited treatment options. New drugs are urgently needed, and genomic screens have the potential to accelerate target discovery, mode of action, and resistance mechanisms against these new drugs. We describe here our effort in developing a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen in , an organism lacking a functional nonhomologous end joining system that must rely on microhomology-mediated end joining, single-strand annealing, or homologous recombination for repairing Cas9-induced double-stranded DNA breaks.
