Parasitoid Wasp Genomes wasps, which prey on and reproduce in host insect species, play important roles plant herbivore interactions, may provide valuable tools the biological control of pest species. The Nasonia Genome Working Group (p. 343 ; see news story by Pennisi ) presents genome three very closely related species: vitripennis, N. giraulti , longicornis . findings document rapid evolution between a endosymbiont that can cause nuclear-cytoplasmic incompatibilities affect speciation.
The first generation of genome sequence assemblies and annotations have had a significant impact upon our understanding the biology sequenced species, phylogenetic relationships among study populations within across informed humans. As only few Metazoan genomes are approaching finished quality (human, mouse, fly worm), there is room for improvement most assemblies. honey bee (Apis mellifera) genome, published in 2006, was noted its bimodal GC content distribution that affected assembly some...
Caffeoyl-coenzyme A<i>O</i>-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT) methylates, <i>in vitro</i>, caffeoyl-CoA and 5-hydroxyferuloyl-CoA, two possible precursors in monolignol biosynthesis vivo</i>. To clarify the vivo</i> role of CCoAOMT lignin biosynthesis, transgenic poplars with 10% residual protein levels stem xylem were generated. Upon analysis xylem, affected lines had a 12% reduced Klason content, an 11% increased syringyl/guaiacyl ratio noncondensed fraction, increase lignin-attached...

Abstract With the Nasonia vitripennis genome sequences available, we attempted to determine proteins present in venom by two different approaches. First, searched for transcripts of a bioinformatic approach using amino acid known hymenopteran proteins. Second, performed proteomic analyses crude N. removed from reservoir, implementing both an off‐line two‐dimensional liquid chromatography matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ ionization time‐of‐flight (2D‐LC‐MALDI‐TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) and...
Abstract Sequence-defined macromolecules consist of a defined chain length (single mass), end-groups, composition and topology prove promising in application fields such as anti-counterfeiting, biological mimicking data storage. Here we show the potential use multifunctional sequence-defined storage medium. As proof-of-principle, describe how short text fragments (human-readable data) QR codes (machine-readable are encoded collection oligomers original can be reconstructed. The...
The Unipept web application (http://unipept.ugent.be) supports biodiversity analysis of large and complex metaproteome samples using tryptic peptide information obtained from shotgun MS/MS experiments. Its underlying index structure is designed to quickly retrieve all occurrences a in UniProtKB records. Taxon-specificity the successively derived these novel lowest common ancestor approach that robust against taxonomic misarrangements, misidentifications, inaccuracies. Not taking into account...
Unipept ( http://unipept.ugent.be ) is a web application that offers user‐friendly way to explore the biodiversity of complex metaproteome samples by providing interactive visualizations. In this article, updates and changes since its initial release are presented. This includes addition sunburst treeview visualizations multipeptide analysis, foundations an programming interface (API) command line interface, updated data sources, open‐sourcing entire under MIT license.
Although sophorolipids (SLs) produced by S. bombicola are a real showcase for the industrialization of microbial biosurfactants, some important drawbacks associated with this efficient biological process, e.g., simultaneous production acidic and lactonic SLs. Depending on application, there is requirement naturally mixture to be manipulated give defined ratios components. Recently, enzyme responsible lactonization SLs was discovered. The discovery gene encoding lactone esterase (sble)...

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are small nanoscale structures that secreted by bacteria and can carry nucleic acids, proteins, metabolites. They mediate intracellular communication play a role in virulence. In this study, we show treatment with the β-lactam antibiotic imipenem leads to dramatic increase secretion of outer nosocomial pathogen Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Proteomic analysis their protein content demonstrated OMVs contain chromosomal encoded L1 metallo-β-lactamase L2...
ABSTRACT We studied the flocculation mechanism at molecular level by determining atomic structures of N-Flo1p and N-Lg-Flo1p in complex with their ligands. show that they have similar ligand binding mechanisms but distinct carbohydrate specificities affinities, which are determined compactness site. characterized glycans Flo1p role this process demonstrate glycan-glycan interactions significantly contribute to cell-cell adhesion mechanism. Therefore, extended is based on self-interaction Flo...
