Summary: This study explores the role of CuAO in different tomato genotypes at different stages of seedling development. The results indicate that there is genotype dependence in the degradation of Put, and inhibition of CuAO activity leads to a long-term shift in PA catabolism by altering the activity of PAO.

Summary: Plant defence responses to adverse environmental conditions involve various stress signalling pathways, with the modulation of stomatal aperture being a common and effective response. AtCuAO beta in Arabidopsis thaliana plays a crucial role in stomatal closure induced by MeJA, involving H2O2 production. Mutants of AtCuAO beta show compromised response to MeJA and reduced H2O2 production in guard cells.

Summary: Polyamines are essential compounds in living organisms, and copper amine oxidases play a key role in oxidizing them to aminoaldehydes. CuAOs participate in the response to various stresses by modulating multilevel phenotypic plasticity expression in different plant species, particularly in Arabidopsis thaliana. Studies have focused on the involvement of CuAOs in the IAA/JA/ABA signal transduction pathways mediating stress-induced phenotypic plasticity events.

Summary: Polyamine catabolism mediated by amine oxidases is important for regulating polyamine homeostasis and related mechanisms during salt stress. The effects of L-aminoguanidine (AG), an inhibitor of copper amine oxidases, on tomato roots exposed to short-term salt stress were studied. AG treatment alleviated the increase in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species caused by salt stress, suggesting its possible antioxidant effect.

Summary: The study demonstrates the relationship between SSAO and LOX in VSMCs, showing that increased SSAO activity and decreased LOX activity are associated with pathological changes in the vascular wall. Silencing the LOX gene leads to a reduction in SSAO activity, protein expression, and mRNA levels in VSMCs. These findings suggest that LOX acts as a regulator of SSAO activity and expression in early passage rat aortic VSMCs.

Summary: Benzylamine, a natural molecule found in food and edible plants, has been found to activate hexose uptake and inhibit lipolysis in human fat cells. These effects rely on the oxidation of benzylamine by amine oxidases in adipocytes, leading to the production of hydrogen peroxide, which exhibits insulin-like actions. The study identified compounds that interact with highly expressed amine oxidases in human adipocytes and showed that they have similar metabolic effects to benzylamine, making them potential candidates for the treatment of obesity and diabetes.

Summary: The study compared the endocrine-metabolic phenotypes of mice lacking the AOC3 gene and mice expressing a mutated VAP-1, finding that both types of mice exhibited obesity, glucose and lipid handling disorders, as well as certain common adipocyte changes. The results suggest that modulation of SSAO activity could be a potential target for treating cardiometabolic diseases, particularly obesity with low-grade inflammation.

Summary: This study investigates the metabolic changes in Litopenaeus vannamei in response to dietary copper supplementation. Shrimp fed with copper supplemented diets showed higher weight gain and Cu concentration, increased levels of essential and non-essential amino acids, and impacts on amino acid and glycerophospholipid metabolism. Additionally, pathways related to the immune system were identified in shrimp fed with specific copper diets.

Summary: Harmful cyanobacteria blooms (HCBs) are a significant scientific challenge. Copper sulfate (CuSO4) was found to effectively inhibit the growth and photosynthetic capacity of Microcystis aeruginosa, as well as alter its metabolic profiles. The application of CuSO4 also showed potential in controlling algal growth and community structure in site-collected water. These findings contribute to understanding the mechanisms behind algae control and the impact on carbon cycling in aquatic ecosystems.

Summary: Recent progress in understanding the mechanisms by which enzymes promote catalytic reactions efficiently through their structural changes has been made using serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography and mix-and-inject serial crystallography techniques. In this study, researchers successfully observed the structural changes associated with ongoing enzymic reactions using a liquid-jet system. The results indicate that anaerobic conditions were maintained throughout the measurements, preventing interference with the catalytic intermediates.

Summary: The first violet light-mediated synthesis of gamma- and delta-lactams from N-alkenyl trichloroacetamides is reported in this paper. The reactions are conducted in tetrahydrofuran or 2-methyltetrahydrofuran as the sole solvent without catalysts or additives, under non-anhydrous conditions in an air atmosphere where the solvent serves as the radical initiator.

Summary: A new 1,2,4-triazole-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine hybrid system, 6-acylpyrrolo[1,2-a][1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-c]pyrazine, was synthesized using a catalyst-free method. This method involved sequential exposure of pyrrole-2-carbonitrile-derived substrates to DMF-DMA and acyl hydrazide, resulting in the formation of acylated pyrazine and 1,2,4-triazole rings, enabling the installation of various substituents at specific positions on the core skeleton.

Summary: Alcohol dehydrogenases are enzymes that use cofactors for oxidation or reduction reactions of alcohols or carbonyl compounds. They are utilized in green chemistry and have applications in the production of pharmaceuticals. Recombinant enzymes have solved the challenge of producing purified enzymes in large quantities. Engineered alcohol dehydrogenases have been used in asymmetric synthesis in industry. Various methods have been established for regenerating expensive cofactors to make the enzymatic process more efficient and economically viable.
