The Inactivation kinetics of alpha-glucosidase, glucoamylase, alpha-amylase, and acid carboxypeptidase in fresh sake using a continuous flow system for high-pressure carbonation were investigated. In addition, the effects of ethanol and sugar concentrations on inactivation of the enzymes in high-pressure carbonated sake were investigated. Among the enzymes investigated, alpha-glucosidase was the most stable and alpha-amylase was the most labile on inactivation under carbonation. The decimal reduction times (D values) of alpha-glucosidase, glucoamylase, alpha-amylase (extrapolated from the Z value), and acid carboxypeptidase were 29, 6, 2, and 5 min respectively at 45 degrees C. These values are lower than those subjected to heat treatment. On the carbonation treatment as well as the heat treatment, ethanol accelerated the inactivation of all four enzymes, but glucose depressed the inactivation of these enzymes, except for acid carboxypeptidase. These results suggest that this continuous flow system enabled effective inactivation of enzymes in fresh sake.

Unlabelled: Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) is essential for macromolecular biosynthesis, and its intracellular levels are tightly regulated in bacteria. Loss of the alarmone (p)ppGpp disrupts GTP regulation in , causing cell death in the presence of exogenous guanosine and underscoring the critical importance of GTP homeostasis. To investigate the basis of guanosine toxicity, we performed a genetic selection for spontaneous mutations that suppress this effect, uncovering an unexpected link between GTP synthesis and glycolysis.

Background: The fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda, a highly invasive, polyphagous pest, poses a global agricultural threat. It has two strains, the C-corn and R-rice strains, each with distinct host preferences. This study compares detoxification enzyme gene families across these strains and related Spodoptera species to explore their adaptation to diverse host plant metabolites.

Small GTPase RHEB is a well-known mTORC1 activator, whereas neddylation modifies cullins and non-cullin substrates to regulate their activity, subcellular localization and stability. Whether and how RHEB is subjected to neddylation modification remains unknown. Here, we report that RHEB is a substrate of NEDD8-conjugating E2 enzyme UBE2F.

Emerging mercury-free ultraviolet (UV) sources, such as krypton chloride excimer (KrCl*) lamps and UV light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs), emit diverse wavelengths with distinct inactivation mechanisms. The combined application has the potential to improve disinfection effectiveness through synergism. In this study, a mini-fluidic photoreaction system equipped with a KrCl* lamp (222 nm) and a strip of UV-LEDs (275 nm) was developed, which could individually/simultaneously deliver accurate UV radiation(s) at 222 nm (0.
