Determination of the quantity of acetyl CoA carboxylase by [14C]methyl avidin binding

Journal of Lipid Research, 1987
Conditions are described under which monomeric [14C]methyl avidin binds to SDS-denatured biotin enzymes and remains bound through polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The location of radioactive proteins on the dried gel was determined by fluorography and

Elevating acetyl-CoA levels reduces aspects of brain aging

eLife, 2019
Because old age is the greatest risk factor for dementia, a successful therapy will require an understanding of the physiological changes that occur in the brain with aging. Here, two structurally distinct Alzheimer's disease (AD) drug candidates, CMS121

Inhibition of hepatic lipogenesis enhances liver tumorigenesis by increasing antioxidant defence and promoting cell survival

Nature Communications, 2017
The lipogenic pathway is often upregulated in liver tumours and regarded as a therapeutic target. Here, the authors show instead that blocking lipogenesis via knockout of acetyl-CoA carboxylase genes results in increased susceptibility to liver ...

Energy stress inhibits ferroptosis via AMPK

Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2020
Energy stress disturbs cellular homeostasis and induces cell death. Our recent study revealed that ferroptosis (a non-apoptotic cell death) is an energy-requiring process, and energy stress-mediated activation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein

De Novo Fatty Acid Synthesis During Mycobacterial Infection Is a Prerequisite for the Function of Highly Proliferative T Cells, But Not for Dendritic Cells or Macrophages

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of human tuberculosis, is able to efficiently manipulate the host immune system establishing chronic infection, yet the underlying mechanisms of immune evasion are not fully understood.

Control of sterol synthesis and of hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductase in skin fibroblasts grown from patients with homozygous type II hyperlipoproteinemia

Journal of Lipid Research, 1975
In skin fibroblasts grown from four children with a homozygous form of type II hyperlipoproteinemia, the feedback control of sterol synthesis and the inhibitory effect on hydroxymethylglutaryl (HMG) CoA reductase activity by serum or low density ...

Effect of nitrogen limitation on cell growth, lipid accumulation and gene expression in Chlorella sorokiniana

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2015
The influence of nitrogen (N) limitation on the cell growth, chlorophyll content, intracellular lipid production and expression levels of two pathway genes in Chlorella sorokiniana was investigated in mixotrophic culture in this study.

Iterative cycle of widely targeted metabolic profiling for the improvement of 1-butanol titer and productivity in Synechococcus elongatus

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Background Metabolomics is the comprehensive study of metabolites that can demonstrate the downstream effects of gene and protein regulation, arguably representing the closest correlation with phenotypic features.

Mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation

EXCLI Journal : Experimental and Clinical Sciences
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is an atherosclerotic disease impacting over 200 million individuals and the prevalence increases with age. PAD occurs when plaque builds up within the peripheral arteries, leading to reduced blood flow and oxygen supply ...
