Plant peroxisomes at the crossroad of NO and H2O2 metabolism

TL;DR: This review provides an overview of the endogenous metabolism of ROS and RNS in peroxisomes with special emphasis on polyamine and uric acid metabolism as well as the possibility that these organelles could be a source of signal molecules involved in the functional interconnection with other subcellular compartments.

Uric Acid and Plant-Based Nutrition.

TL;DR: The reasonable consumption of plant foods with a higher purine content as a part of PBDs may therefore be safely tolerated in normouricemic individuals, but additional data is needed in hyperuricemicindividuals, especially those with chronic kidney disease.

Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitory Activity, Chemical Composition, Antioxidant Properties and GC-MS Analysis of Keladi Candik (Alocasia longiloba Miq).

TL;DR: The prospective utilization of fruit and petiole of A. longiloba to inhibit the activity of XO enzyme is suggested and the efficiency of solvents to extract bioactives was found to be ethanol > water, methanol > hexane > chloroform.

Ureide metabolism in plant-associated bacteria: purine plant-bacteria interactive scenarios under nitrogen deficiency

TL;DR: Given widespread concerns for crop losses due to the drastically changing climate and prevailing agricultural practices, the understanding of the interactive signaling for the purine metabolisms between PAB and plants takes on a major importance, as it may support management decisions necessary to maintain PAB biodiversity and the agricultural services provided by PAB to crops.

Genetic regulation of nitrogen metabolism in the fungi.

TL;DR: In the fungi, nitrogen metabolism is controlled by a complex genetic regulatory circuit which ensures the preferential use of primary nitrogen sources and also confers the ability to use many different secondary nitrogen sources when appropriate.

Two independent mutational events in the loss of urate oxidase during hominoid evolution.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the loss of urate oxidase during the evolution of hominoids could be caused by two independent events after the divergence of the gibbon lineage; the nonsense mutation at codon position 33 resulted in the loss in urate oxidation activity in the human, chimpanzee, and orangutan, whereas the 13-bp deletion was responsible for the urate oxidease deficiency in the gibbons.

SOAP3-dp: Fast, Accurate and Sensitive GPU-based Short Read Aligner

TL;DR: Compared with widely adopted aligners including BWA, Bowtie2, SeqAlto, CUSHAW2, GEM and GPU-based aligners, SOAP3-dp was found to be two to tens of times faster, while maintaining the highest sensitivity and lowest false discovery rate (FDR) on Illumina reads with different lengths.
