Differential coral bleaching—Contrasting the activity and response of enzymatic antioxidants in symbiotic partners under thermal stress

Mass coral bleaching due to thermal stress represents a major threat to the integrity and functioning of coral reefs. Thermal thresholds vary, however, between corals, partly as a result of the specific type of endosymbiotic dinoflagellate (Symbiodinium sp ...

PGC-1 alpha activity in nigral dopamine neurons determines vulnerability to alpha-synuclein

Bernard Schneider, Graham Knott, Wojciech Janusz Bobela, Lu Zheng

Introduction: Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are critical factors in the pathogenesis of age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases. PGC-1 alpha, a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular antioxidant defense, has emerged as ...

Do crosstalks with primary and secondary metabolism limit or stimulate the detoxification of xenobiotics?

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

Because plants are static and live in a competitive and sometimes hostile environment, they have evolved efficient mechanisms that protect them from abiotic and biotic stresses. These mechanisms include detoxification and sequestration of xenobiotic compou ...

Plant detoxification capacity of xenobiotic compounds as limiting factor for phytoremediation

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

Plants have efficient mechanisms for detoxification and sequestration of xenobiotic chemicals and trace elements, basis of any phytoremediation process. However the amount of pollutants that can be accumulated and detoxified without disrupting the primary ...

Insights into the antiatherogenic molecular mechanisms of andrographolide against Porphyromonas gingivalis-induced atherosclerosis in rabbits

Amer Ashrafi

Atherosclerosis is the commonest and most important vascular disease. Andrographolide (AND) is the main bioactive component of the medicinal plant Andrographis paniculata and is used in traditional medicine. This study was aimed to evaluate the antiatherog ...

Symbiont diversity and coral bleaching: An antioxidant view on thermal stress

Thomas Krüger

The functioning of coral reef systems, as biodiversity hotspots, is largely dependent on the symbiotic association between dinoflagellate symbionts (Symbiodinium spp.) and scleractinian coral hosts. The breakdown of this symbiosis (coral bleaching), as a r ...

The cysteine desulfurase IscS of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is involved in iron sulfur cluster biogenesis and oxidative stress defence

Stewart Cole, Florence Pojer, Gaëlle Séraphine Kolly, Jan Lars Rybniker, Jeffrey Chen

The complex multiprotein systems for the assembly of protein-bound iron sulfur (Fe S) clusters are well defined in Gram-negative model organisms. However, little is known about Fe S cluster biogenesis in other bacterial species. The ISC (iron sulfur cluste ...
