Root phloem-specific expression of the plasma membrane amino acid proton co-transporter AAP3 [PDF]

, 2004
Amino acids are regarded as the nitrogen ‘currency’ of plants. Amino acids can be taken up from the soil directly or synthesized from inorganic nitrogen, and then circulated in the plant via phloem and xylem.

Therapeutic peptides: chemical strategies fortify peptides for enhanced disease treatment efficacy

Amino Acids
Therapeutic peptides, as a unique form of medication composed of orderly arranged sequences of amino acids, are valued for their high affinity, specificity, low immunogenicity, and economical production costs.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Safety assessment of L-ornithine oral intake in healthy subjects: a systematic review

Amino Acids
L-Ornithine (L-Orn) is a nonessential amino acid but has many physiological roles. Accordingly, L-Orn has been used as a functional food or dietary supplement to ameliorate various maladies, but there is only limited information available about its ...

The pyruvate generator is a common phenomenon in mitochondria from different rat and mouse brain regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The pyruvate generator, which causes activation of respiration by extra‐mitochondrial Ca2+, is also present and functional in rat brainstem mitochondria, as it is in other brain regions. This finding is confirmed by experiments with a fully reconstituted malate–aspartate shuttle (MAS).

Biocompatible silver nanoparticles prepared with amino acids and a green method

, 2017
The synthesis of nanoparticles is usually carried out by chemical reduction, which is effective but uses many toxic substances, making the process potentially harmful to the environment.

The effect of L-Arg supplementation on L-Arg/NO metabolic and AMPK/ACC-1 signalling pathways in adipose cells (3T3 L1)

Amino Acids
L-arginine (L-Arg) is metabolised in the cell to generate nitric oxide (NO) and citrulline via nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NO is an important cellular signalling molecule that regulates lipid and glucose metabolism.

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified
