Metabolism of Amino Acids in Cancer [PDF]

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Metabolic reprogramming has been widely recognized as a hallmark of malignancy. The uptake and metabolism of amino acids are aberrantly upregulated in many cancers that display addiction to particular amino acids. Amino acids facilitate the survival and proliferation of cancer cells under genotoxic, oxidative, and nutritional stress.

Cysteine and Methionine Biosynthetic Enzymes Have Distinct Effects on Seed Nutritional Quality and on Molecular Phenotypes Associated With Accumulation of a Methionine-Rich Seed Storage Protein in Rice

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Staple crops in human and livestock diets suffer from deficiencies in certain “essential” amino acids including methionine. With the goal of increasing methionine in rice seed, we generated a pair of “Push × Pull” double transgenic lines, each containing
