Systematic screening of Citri reticulatae pericarpium polysaccharides reveals uronic acid–associated anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity

Citri reticulatae pericarpium (CP), the dried peel of Citrus reticulata Blanco (Rutaceae), is a common traditional Chinese medicine and edible material with effects of regulating Qi, strengthening the spleen, and resolving phlegm. While its flavonoids have been extensively studied, the polysaccharides, which are the ma...

Convergent evolution of viral nucleases targeting cyclic dinucleotides

Poxviruses, African swine fever virus (ASFV), and bacteriophages have independently evolved nucleases that degrade cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs), which are critical second messengers that mediate antiviral responses. This Pearl synthesizes recent advancements in our understanding of viral CDN-degrading nucleases and emph...

Active learning enables evolutionary discovery and characterization of fungal transcriptional activators

Biological discovery and design are increasingly guided by predictive models trained on data from high-throughput technologies rather than costly experiments. However, existing datasets are often biased by overrepresentation of model organisms, causing models to fail in evolutionary studies of non-model species....

Summarizing RNA Structural Ensembles via Maximum Agreement Secondary Structures

Abstract Summarizing a collection P of related RNA secondary structures is a key challenge in applications like evolutionary analysis, alternative fold studies and mRNA vaccine design. This requires both clustering the input structures into similar groups and identifying the core structural motifs on which they agree o...

Two Glu/Asp Residues Cooperatively Mediate an Early Step of ATP Hydrolysis in GHKL ATPases MutL and GyrB

GHKL ATPases share a unique Bergerat ATP-binding fold and regulate diverse biological processes through ATP-dependent conformational changes. An early step of ATP hydrolysis in this family has been attributed to a single highly conserved glutamate residue proposed to function as the general base. However, mutations of...

Evaluation of naked oat varieties in the Kursk region

The studies were conducted in 2023-2025 to identify naked oat lines bred at the Nemchinovka Federal Research Centre that combine high productivity, grain quality, and adaptability to the conditions of the Kursk region on typical chernozem. The work was carried out in competitive variety trials (randomized blocks, 6-fol...

Photorespiration Is Associated with Nitrogen Metabolism and Nitrogen Productivity in Kentucky Bluegrass

Photorespiration links carbon metabolism with nitrogen assimilation in C3 plants, but its relationship with nitrogen productivity in perennial turfgrass remains unclear. Ten Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) cultivars were screened for photorespiration rate and intensity. ‘Heidi’ and ‘My Holiday’ exhibited the high...

Protective effect of Panax ginseng on AlCl₃-induced liver, kidney, and testis toxicity in male albino rats: biochemical, histopathological, and molecular study

Aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) is a ubiquitous environmental toxicant that induces multi-organ toxicity, primarily via oxidative stress and inflammatory mechanism cascades. Panax ginseng, renowned for its pharmacologically active ginsenosides, exhibited potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Accordingly, this...

Timepoint-Specific Percentile Reference Curves for C-Reactive Protein and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate After Uncomplicated Primary Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Single-Center Cohort Study

Background/Objectives: No shoulder-specific percentile reference range exists for postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA); clinicians rely on time-invariant thresholds borrowed from lower-extremity cohorts, and the ESR trajectory is unchar...

Crystal structure of a class II UDP-glucose—hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase from Bifidobacterium longum involved in human milk oligosaccharide metabolism

Infant-associated bifidobacteria utilize lacto-N-biose I (LNB) and galacto-N-biose (GNB), major components of human milk oligosaccharides and intestinal mucin, respectively, through the GNB/LNB metabolic pathway. A UDP-glucose–hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GalT) from Bifidobacterium longum JCM 1217 (BlGalT2)...
