Different winemaking practices are aimed at increasing cell wall degradation to facilitate extraction of valuables molecules into the wine. However, little attention has been paid to the composition of marcs from different cultivars according to the influence of the winemaking procedures. We provide information on skin cell walls from Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Monastrell grapes and examine how different winemaking practices (addition of enzymatic preparation and β-galactosidase separately and dry ice addition) may affect the composition of marc skin cell wall material (CWM). The efficiency of CWM isolation from the grape skin and also its composition is influenced by the cultivar. A similar cultivar influence has been detected on CWM from the marc, being the differences also due to the enological technique. Our results help to increase our knowledge on the degradation of cell walls during vinification, while providing a valuable guideline to upgrade the value of these by-products.

In confronting the significant challenge posed by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, particularly methicillin-resistant (MRSA), the development of innovative anti-infective strategies is essential. Our research focuses on sortase A (SrtA), a vital enzyme for anchoring surface proteins in . We discovered that plantamajoside (PMS), a phenylpropanoid glycoside extracted from .

Transglutaminases (TGases) are enzymes highly conserved among prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, where their role is to catalyze protein cross-linking. One of the putative TGases of has previously been shown to be localized to the cell wall. Based on sequence similarity we were able to identify six more genes annotated as putative TGases and show that these seven genes group together in phylogenetic analysis.

The T cell antigen presentation platform MR1 consists of 6 allomorphs in humans that differ by no more than 5 amino acids. The principal function of this highly conserved molecule involves presenting microbial metabolites to the abundant mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cell subset. Recent developments suggest that the role of MR1 extends to presenting antigens from cancer cells, a function dependent on the K43 residue in the MR1 antigen binding cleft.

Postinterventional restenosis is a major challenge in the treatment of peripheral vascular disease. Current anti-restenosis drugs inhibit neointima hyperplasia but simultaneously impair endothelial repair due to indiscrminative cytotoxity. Stem cell-derived exosomes provide multifaceted therapeutic effects by delivering functional miRNAs to endothelial cells, macrophages, and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

In common bean ( L.), leaf photosynthesis is significantly reduced under drought conditions. Previous studies have shown that some drought-tolerant cultivars use the pod walls to compensate the decreased photosynthesis rate in leaves by acting as temporary reservoirs of carbohydrates to support seed filling.
