This study engineers Yarrowia lipolytica to produce fatty alcohols by disrupting lipid metabolism pathways and optimizing culture conditions, achieving titers up to 19.4 g/L.

The paper identifies carbamylation as a regulatory modification in β-cell metabolism and insulin processing in T1D by analyzing proteomic changes in NOD and MIN6 cells.

PTMOverlay visualizes post-translational modifications across species by aligning PTM sites to protein sequences, revealing conserved modifications in bacterial central carbon metabolism.

The paper identifies conserved bacterial protein methylation, showing ribosomal protein L11 methylation regulates stringent response signaling and ribosomal homeostasis.

This study investigates lipid remodeling in Rhodotorula toruloides under nitrogen starvation, identifying phospholipid-to-storage lipid conversion and regulatory mechanisms for lipid accumulation.

The paper constructs a genome-scale metabolic model for Rhodosporidium toruloides IFO0880, integrating functional genomics and phenotypic data to improve predictions of gene essentiality and metabolic capabilities.
