Article Abstract
Membrane-located NAD(P) transhydrogenase (NTH) catalyses reversible hydride ion transfer between NAD(H) and NADP(H), simultaneously translocating a proton across the membrane. The enzyme is structurally conserved across prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In heterotrophic bacteria NTH proteins reside in the cytoplasmic membrane, whereas in animals they localise in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Eukaryotic NTH proteins exists in two distinct configurations (isoforms) and have non-mitochondrial functions in unicellular eukaryotes like , the causative agent of malaria. In this study, we carried out a systematic analysis of genes across eukaryotic life to determine its prevalence and distribution of isoforms. The results reveal that NTH is found across all major lineages, but that some organisms, notably plants, lack genes altogether. Isoform distribution and phylogenetic analysis reveals different gene loss scenarios in apicomplexan lineages, which sheds new light on the evolution of the Piroplasmida and .

A gain-of-function variant in NNT causes premature diffuse familial sebaceous hyperplasia.
Br J Dermatol
July 2025
Dermatology Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.
Backgrounds: Premature diffuse familial sebaceous hyperplasia (PDFSH) constitutes a distinct clinical variant of sebaceous hyperplasia, characterized by three hallmark features: early disease onset, characteristic sparing of perioral and periocular regions, and a positive family history. To date, the pathogenic gene underlying PDFSH remains unidentified.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the underlying gene and the pathogenesis of three familial cases with autosomal dominant PDFSH.
Enhanced ethanol-driven carboxylate chain elongation by MOF-808 from waste activated sludge: Process and mechanism.
J Environ Manage
July 2025
College of Resource and Environmental Sciences, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, 210095, China.
Carboxylate chain elongation can create value-added bioproducts from waste activated sludge (WAS). The bioconversion of WAS during anaerobic fermentation is often constrained by inefficient hydrolysis. The addition of MOF-808 (200 mg MOF-808/g volatile solids (VS)) increased caproate production and selectivity by approximately 38.

Background: Clinical management of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is hindered by a lack of disease-modifying therapies capable of altering its distinct pathophysiology. Despite the widespread implementation of a 2-hit model of cardiometabolic HFpEF to inform precision therapy, which utilizes HFD+L-NAME (ad libitum high-fat diet and 0.5% N[ω]-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester), we observe that C57BL6/J mice exhibit less cardiac diastolic dysfunction in response to HFD+L-NAME.

Scutellarein (Sc), a natural flavonoid, holds potential for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), yet its mechanisms remain unexplored. This study investigated Sc's therapeutic effects and underlying pathways in PAH. In vivo experiments demonstrated that Sc significantly attenuated right ventricular hypertension, pulmonary arterial remodeling, αSMA expression, and vascular inflammation in PAH models.

The human mitochondrial nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT) uses the proton motive force to drive hydride transfer from NADH to NADP and is a major contributor to the generation of mitochondrial NADPH. NNT plays a critical role in maintaining cellular redox balance. NNT-deficiency results in oxidative damage and its absence results in familial glucocorticoid deficiency.
