Ensuring that people have access to sufficient and nutritious food is necessary for a healthy
life and the core tenet of food security. With the global population set to reach 9.8 billion by …

Purine bases and nucleosides are produced by turnover of nucleotides and nucleic acids as
well as from some cellular metabolic pathways. Adenosine released from the S-adenosyl-L …

Plants need to acclimate to different stresses to optimize growth under unfavorable
conditions. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the abundance of the chloroplast …

Nucleotide metabolism is an essential process in all living organisms. Besides newly
synthesized nucleotides, the recycling (salvage) of partially degraded nucleotides, ie …

Cofactors are fundamental to the catalytic activity of enzymes. Additionally, because plants
are a critical source of several cofactors (ie, including their vitamin precursors) within the …

NCS 1 proteins are H+/Na+ symporters specific for the uptake of purines, pyrimidines and
related metabolites. In this article, we study the origin, diversification and substrate specificity …

The hydantoin transporter Mhp1 is a sodium‐coupled secondary active transport protein of
the nucleobase‐cation‐symport family and a member of the widespread 5‐helix inverted …

Abstract Background and Aims Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play an important role in
plant nutrition and protection against pests and diseases, as well as in soil structuration …

CodB is a cytosine transporter from the Nucleobase‐Cation‐Symport‐1 (NCS1) transporter
family, a member of the widespread LeuT superfamily. Previous experiments with the …
