Exogenous coenzyme Q10 modulates MMP-2 activity in MCF-7 cell line as a breast cancer cellular model
Background/Aims Matrix Metalloproteinases 2 is a key molecule in cellular invasion and metastasis. Mitochondrial ROS has been established as a mediator of MMP activity. Coenzyme Q10 contributes to intracellular ROS regulation.

Depletion of ATP-citrate lyase (ATPCL) affects chromosome integrity without altering histone acetylation in Drosophila mitotic cells [PDF]
The Citrate Lyase (ACL) is the main cytosolic enzyme that converts the citrate exported from mitochondria by the SLC25A1 carrier in Acetyl Coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and oxaloacetate.

Biochemical Characterization of Arylamine N-acetyltransferases From Vibrio vulnificus
Vibrio vulnificus is a zoonotic bacterium that is capable of causing highly lethal diseases in humans; this pathogen is responsible for 95% of all seafood-related deaths in the United States. Arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NAT, E.C.

Allosteric Regulation Alters Carrier Domain Translocation in Pyruvate Carboxylase [PDF]
Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) catalyzes the ATP-dependent carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate. The reaction occurs in two separate catalytic domains, coupled by the long-range translocation of a biotinylated carrier domain (BCCP). Here, we use a series

Dynamic-tuning yeast storage carbohydrate improves the production of acetyl-CoA-derived chemicals
Summary: Acetyl-coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA) and malonyl-coenzyme A (malonyl-CoA) are important precursors for producing various chemicals, and their availability affects the production of their downstream chemicals.

Remnants of an ancient metabolism without phosphate [PDF]
Phosphate is essential for all living systems, serving as a building block of genetic and metabolic machinery. However, it is unclear how phosphate could have assumed these central roles on primordial Earth, given its poor geochemical accessibility.

Corrins and the Acetyl-CoA Path of Autotrophic Fixation of Carbon Dioxide in Bacteria
Autotrophic fixation of carbon dioxide in bacteria proceedes not only via the well-known «Calvin cycle», but also via the recently established «acetyl-coenzyme A pathway», meanwhile found to be widely distributed in bacterial anaerobes.
