The gene for endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase F3 was cloned into the high-expression vector pMAL c-2, and expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein. A key step in the purification employed Poros II (HS) chromatography, which greatly facilitated isolation of the enzyme from crude intracellular lysates. The unfused enzyme was recovered following digestion with Factor Xa and was isolated in a homogeneous form. The enzyme is non-glycosylated and fully active, and is a very useful analytical tool for investigating the structure of asparagine-linked glycans, especially those with core-substituted alpha 1,6 fucosyl residues.

Pneumocandin B (PB) is a lipohexapeptide synthesized by and serves as the precursor for the widely used antifungal drug caspofungin acetate (Cancidas®). However, the low titer of PB results in fermentation and purification costs during caspofungin production, limiting its widespread clinical application. Here, we engineered an efficient PB-producing strain of by systems metabolic engineering strategies, including multi-omics analysis and multilevel metabolic engineering.

Citrus fruits are one of the most important fruits in the world, and their seedless character is favored by consumers. WRKY is a plant-specific transcription factor family involved in all aspects of plant growth and development. However, the molecular mechanism of seedless fruit formation in citrus and the role of the WRKY gene family in seed abortion are still poorly understood.

The human mitochondrial nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT) uses the proton motive force to drive hydride transfer from NADH to NADP and is a major contributor to the generation of mitochondrial NADPH. NNT plays a critical role in maintaining cellular redox balance. NNT-deficiency results in oxidative damage and its absence results in familial glucocorticoid deficiency.

DEK is a chromatin protein that interacts with DNA to influence chromatin formation, thereby affecting plant growth, development, and stress response. This study investigates the molecular evolution of the DEK family in plants, with a particular focus on the Brassica species. A total of 127 DEK genes were identified in 34 plants and classified into seven groups based on the phylogenetic analysis.
