Acetyl‐coenzyme A carboxylases: Versatile targets for drug discovery [PDF]
AbstractAcetyl‐coenzyme A carboxylases (ACCs) have crucial roles in fatty acid metabolism in humans and most other living organisms. They are attractive targets for drug discovery against a variety of human diseases, including diabetes, obesity, cancer, and microbial infections.

Metabolic feature profiling and metabolic vulnerability in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
For the first time, our study develops a novel metabolic classification and subtyping program, metabolic reprogramming‐based classifier for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, using internal PDT‐ALL‐2016 and external cohorts, which dissects metabolic profiling, clinical outcome, and therapeutic vulnerability for precision metabolic intervention in ALL ...

The sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are central regulators of lipid homeostasis in mammalian cells. Their activity is controlled by a sterol-regulated two-step proteolytic process that releases the nuclear targeted amino-terminal ...

In planta analysis of the mode of action of cinmethylin and confirmation of fatty acyl‐ACP thioesterases (FATs) as primary site of action. Cinmethylin inhibits FATs, disrupting eukaryotic de novo lipid biosynthesis and causing defects in cell division, elongation and integrity. We confirm FATs as the primary site of action in planta.

Fitness costs associated with evolved herbicide resistance alleles in plants [PDF]
Predictions based on evolutionary theory suggest that the adaptive value of evolved herbicide resistance alleles may be compromised by the existence of fitness costs.

Effects of Kisspeptin-10 on Lipid Metabolism in Cultured Chicken Hepatocytes [PDF]
Our previous studies showed that kisspeptin-10 (Kp-10) injected in vivo can markedly increase lipid anabolism in liver of quails. In order to investigate the direct effect of Kp-10 on lipid metabolism of hepatocytes in birds, cells were separated from ...

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

A single nucleotide polymorphism within the acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase beta gene is associated with proteinuria in patients with type 2 diabetes. [PDF]
It has been suggested that genetic susceptibility plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. A large-scale genotyping analysis of gene-based single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes ...

“Hard Core” Acetyl Coenzyme‐A Carboxylase
Diseases involving unregulated cell reproduction, (i.e. cancer) can be inhibited through acetyl coenzyme‐A carboxylase (ACC) manipulation, preventing the lipid production that is imperative for cell survival. ACC catalyzes the first step in the fatty acid biosynthesis. ACC contains two dimers, biotin carboxylase (BC) and carboxyltransferase (CT), and a
