A case of congenital nonspherocytic haemolytic anaemia associated with a new abnormal glucosephosphate isomerase (GPI), GSH (reduced glutathione) deficiency, and instability and altered carbohydrate membrane composition is reported. The only functional abnormality of the mutant enzyme seems to be a marked instability to heat, urea, and guanidine-HCl. Family studies suggest that the propositus is doubly heterozygous for a maternal gene producing an inactive enzyme and a paternal gene responsible for a structural alteration causing marked lability of the coded enzyme. Experiments of incubation of normal GPI and the propositus's GPI with oxidizing and reducing agents seem to indicate that the abnormality resides in the SH groups of the mutant GPI.

Background: Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL) is a malignant tumor harboring a poor prognosis and unsatisfactory treatment outcomes. This study was performed to explore the pathogenesis and exact etiology of ENKTL. Methods Bioinformatic analysis was conducted to investigate the expression of SIRT5 and glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI), as well their correlation with ENKTL overall survival.

Antibiotic tolerance, the widespread ability of diverse pathogenic bacteria to sustain viability in the presence of typically bactericidal antibiotics for extended time periods, is an understudied steppingstone towards antibiotic resistance. The Gram-negative pathogen , the causative agent of cholera, is highly tolerant to β-lactam antibiotics. We previously found that the disruption of glycolysis, via deletion of (, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase), resulted in significant cell wall damage and increased sensitivity towards β-lactam antibiotics.

Nearly 5% of the glucose-6-phosphate (Glc6P) in cells is diverted into the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) to synthesize glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P) and uridine diphosphate -acetyl-glucosamine-6-phosphate (UDP-GlcN6P). Fructose-6-phosphate (Fru6P) is a common intermediary between glycolysis and the HBP. Changes in HBP regulation cause abnormal protein N-glycosylation and -linked-N-acetylglucosamine modification (O-GlcNAcylation), affecting protein function and modifying cellular responses to signals.

Flooding stress poses a significant challenge to soybean cultivation, impacting plant growth, development, and ultimately yield. In this study, we investigated the responses of two distinct soybean cultivars: flooding-tolerant Nanxiadou 38 (ND38) and flooding-sensitive Nanxiadou 45 (ND45). To achieve this, healthy seedlings were cultivated with the water surface consistently maintained at 5 cm above the soil surface.
