Cd hyperaccumulator Solanum nigrum L. was a promising plant used to simultaneously remediate Cd-PAHs combined pollution soil through its extra accumulation capacity and rhizosphere degradation. This article compared the strengthening remediation role of cysteine (Cys), glycine (Gly) and glutamic acid (Glu) with EDTA and TW80. The results showed that the addition of 0.03 mmol L(-1) Cys, Gly, and Glu didn't significantly impact (p < 0.05) shoot biomass of S. nigrum, but obviously increased Cd concentration. Therefore, Cd capacity (µg pot(-1)) in shoots of S. nigrum was significantly increased (p < 0.05) by 37.7% compared to the control without reagent added. At the meantime, the PAHs degradation ratio in rhizoshpere was increased by 34.5%. Basically, the improving role of Cys, Gly, and Glu was higher than EDTA and TW80. The main reasons of enhanced the accumulation of S. nigrum to Cd might lie in the addition of Cys, Gly, and Glu which reduced pH and increased extractable Cd concentration in rhizosphere and phytochelatines (PCs) concentration in leaves. As for the degradation of PAHs in rhizosphere, increased microorganism number might be play important role.

The study introduces a robust analytical method based on UPLC-MS/MS for quantifying thiol amino acids, including cysteine (Cys), cysteinylglycine (CG), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), in their total and total free forms within human plasma. An optimized blank matrix was employed for accurate quantification of endogenous compounds. The method exhibited excellent linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery, and stability, making it highly suitable for plasma analysis.

Cats with progressive renal diseases often exhibit a weakened urinary odor, in contrast to normal cat urine which emits odorants with catty odor, such as 3-mercapto-3-methyl-1-butanol, 3-mercapto-3-methylbutyl formate, 3-methyl-3-methylthio-1-butanol, and 3-methyl-3-(2-methyldisulfanyl)-1-butanol. Felinine, an amino acid, is a precursor of these odorants and metabolized from its precursor, 3-methylbutanol glutathione (MBG), via 3-methylbutanol-cysteinylglycine (MBCG). While previous studies have reported felinine excretion in normal cats, its levels in cats with renal diseases remain unclear.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores a DNA-based growth strategy for bimetallic nanozymes to enhance their peroxidase activity by modifying their shape and structure.
- Researchers used four types of DNA oligonucleotides to control the synthesis of Pt nanoparticles on DNA-coated Au nanorods and found that the aggregation behavior of these nanorods depended on the DNA's length and type.
- A new colorimetric sensor was developed using the DNA-modified nanozymes to effectively detect different biological thiols and distinguish between normal and tumor cells, advancing the understanding of DNA-guided nanozyme behavior and their biosensing capabilities.
Interplay of human ABCC11 transporter gene variants with axillary skin microbiome functional genomics.
Sci Rep

Department of Microbiology and Cell Science, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, 32611, USA.
The human armpit microbiome is metabolically entangled with skin cell physiology. This "meta-organism" symbiotic mutualism results in sweat either with or without odor (osmidrosis), depending on host ABCC11 gene haplotypes. Apocrine metabolism produces odorless S-glutathione conjugate that is transferred by ABCC11 transporters into secretory vesicles, deglutamylated to S-Cys-Gly-3M3SH thiol, and exuded to skin surface.

Weaning stress in pigs is associated with low feed intake and poor nutrient utilization. Cysteine is a sulfur amino acid with key roles in pig production, but how cysteine metabolism and requirements are affected by weaning stress should be better defined. The objective of this study was to determine the collective impact of weaning and feed restriction on tissue cysteine metabolism.
