    Digestive Enzymes of Human and Nonhuman Primates

    No full text
    All living organisms need to consume nutrients to grow, survive, and reproduce, making the successful acquisition of food resources a powerful selective pressure. However, acquiring food is only part of the challenge. While all animals spend much of their daily activity budget hunting, searching for, or otherwise procuring food, a large part of what is involved in overall nutrition occurs once the meal has been swallowed. Most nutritional components are too complex for immediate use and must be broken down into simpler compounds, which can then be absorbed by the body. This process, digestion, is catalyzed by enzymes that are either endogenous or produced by the host's microbial population. Research shows that the nutritional value of food is partially constrained by the digestive abilities of the microbial community present in the host's gut and that these microbes rapidly adapt to changes in diet and other environmental pressures. An accumulating body of evidence suggests that endogenously produced digestive enzymes also have been, and still are, common targets of natural selection, further cementing their crucial role in an organism's digestive system.Peer reviewe

    Item 5 : RDM Workshop

    No full text
    The workshop focused on strengthening the library staff's competencies in Research Data Management (RDM) The aim was to motivate the library staff to take ownership of skills development opportunities within this area of Open Science. Library staff who attended this workshop can actively participate in a strengthened service of the researchers at their local institutions. To achieve this, the workshop introduced the research process based on the research project life cycle (RPLC) and gave perspective to a Research Data Life Cycle. This included an introduction to the FAIR principles and Data Management Plans (DMP). The workshop had a practical approach to RDM and therefore introduced two cases from, respectively the humanities and science, as examples of working with DMP in various disciplines.The teaching method of the workshop consisted of a mix of lectures and hands-on activities. The workshop programme and learning objectives are in Danish, however the workshop material, presentations and further readings are in English.

    Bananas (Musa) are non-grass, monocotyledonous, perennial plants that are well known for their edible fruits. Their cultivation provides food security and employment opportunities in many countries. Banana fruits contain high levels of minerals and phytochemicals, including flavonoids, which are beneficial for human nutrition. To broaden the knowledge on flavonoid biosynthesis in this major crop plant, we aimed to identify and functionally characterise selected structural genes encoding 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, involved in the formation of the flavonoid aglycon. Musa candidates genes predicted to encode flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H), flavonol synthase (FLS) and anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) were assayed. Enzymatic functionalities of the recombinant proteins were confirmed in vivo using bioconversion assays. Moreover, transgenic analyses in corresponding Arabidopsis thaliana mutants showed that MusaF3H, MusaFLS and MusaANS were able to complement the respective loss-of-function phenotypes, thus verifying functionality of the enzymes in planta. Knowledge gained from this work provides a new aspect for further research towards genetic engineering of flavonoid biosynthesis in banana fruits to increase their antioxidant activity and nutritional value.</p

    Schilbert H, Busche M, Viehöver P, Weisshaar B, Stracke R. De novo ONT long read assembly of the A. thaliana f3h/fls1/ans triple mutant . Bielefeld University; 2023.We sequenced the genome of the Arabidopsis thaliana f3h/fls1/ans triple mutant (f3h (tt6-2), Col-0 background; fls1 (fls1-2), Nö-0 background; ans (tds4-4), Col-0 background) to fully characterise its insertion alleles with Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) long reads. The DNA that has been sequenced was isolated form rosette leaves. Sequencing was performed on a R9.4.1 flow cell and Basecalling was carried out with Guppy v.4.2.3. The reads were assembled with Canu v2.1.1 and the assembly is available as individual FASTA file
