A pilot, short-term dietary manipulation of branched chain amino acids has modest influence on fasting levels of branched chain amino acids

Food & Nutrition Research, 2016
Background: Elevated fasting levels of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs: valine, isoleucine, leucine) in venous blood are associated with a variety of metabolic impairments, including increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Leucinosis, or maple syrup urine disease (lecture and a clinical case)

Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2020
Maple syrup urine disease (leucinosis, short-chain ketoaciduria, branched-chain disease, branched-chain ketonuria) is an autosomal recessive disorder which is a consequence of the deficient branched-chain alpha ketoacid dehydrogenase complex.

Dataset describing the amino acid catabolism of Thermoanaerobacter pseudethanolicus

Data in Brief
The dataset depicts the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids by Thermoanaerobacter pseudethanolicus in the presence of thiosulfate under different culture conditions. The results reveal that the strain can degrade all three branched-chain amino acids

Host’s demand for essential amino acids is compensated by an extracellular bacterial symbiont in a hemipteran insect model

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Plant sap is a nutritionally unbalanced diet that constitutes a challenge for insects that feed exclusively on it. Sap-sucking hemipteran insects generally overcome this challenge by harboring beneficial microorganisms in their specialized symbiotic ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Impact of Branched-Chain Amino Acid Catabolism on Fatty Acid and Alkene Biosynthesis in Micrococcus luteus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Micrococcus luteus naturally produces alkenes, unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, and represents a promising host to produce hydrocarbons as constituents of biofuels and lubricants.
