Journal ArticleDOI

Hexose transport in Torulaspora delbrueckii: identification of Igt1, a new dual-affinity transporter.

Andreia Pacheco, +8 more
- 01 Feb 2020 - 
TL;DR: Functional characterization of IGT1 in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae hxt-null strain revealed that it encodes a transporter able to mediate uptake of glucose, fructose and mannose and established that its affinity, as measured by Km, could be modulated by glucose concentration in the medium.
Journal ArticleDOI

KRAS as a Modulator of the Inflammatory Tumor Microenvironment: Therapeutic Implications

Flávia Couto Brandão Pereira, +5 more
- 24 Jan 2022 - 
TL;DR: New avenues for investigating the potential of KRAS mutations on inflammatory TME modulation are expected to open, opening a different vision of therapeutic combined approaches to overcome KRAS-associated therapy inefficacy and resistance in cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contacts in Death: The Role of the ER-Mitochondria Axis in Acetic Acid-Induced Apoptosis in Yeast.

Vítor M. Martins, +6 more
- 18 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that single ablation of the ERMES components Mdm10p, Mdm12p and Mdm34p increases the resistance of S. cerevisiae to acetic acid-induced apoptosis, which is associated with a prominent delay in the appearance of several apoptotic markers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improvement of Torulaspora delbrueckii genome annotation: towards the exploitation of genomic features of a biotechnologically relevant yeast

Carolina Santiago, +7 more
- 10 Apr 2021 - 
TL;DR: Torulaspora delbrueckii has attracted interest in recent years due to its properties, ranging from its ability to produce flavor-and aromaenhanced wine to its inability to survive longer in frozen dough.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benzo[a]phenoxazinium chlorides: Synthesis, antifungal activity, in silico studies and evaluation as fluorescent probes.

Maria Inês P. S. Leitão, +4 more
- 01 May 2020 - 
TL;DR: Four new benzo[a]phenoxazinium chlorides with combinations of chloride, ethyl ester and methyl as terminals of the amino substituents were synthesized, demonstrating that changes in the substituent can tailor both their staining specificity and antimicrobial activity.
