CBS domains form energy-sensing modules whose binding of adenosine ligands is disrupted by disease mutations [PDF]
CBS domains are defined as sequence motifs that occur in several different proteins in all kingdoms of life. Although thought to be regulatory, their exact functions have been unknown.

AICAr, a Widely Used AMPK Activator with Important AMPK-Independent Effects: A Systematic Review
5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAr) has been one of the most commonly used pharmacological modulators of AMPK activity. The majority of early studies on the role of AMPK, both in the physiological regulation of metabolism and in cancer ...

Bypassing AMPK Phosphorylation
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) functions as a signaling hub to balance energy supply with demand. Phosphorylation of activation loop Thr172 has been considered as an essential step in AMPK activation. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Scott and colleagues show that the small molecule direct AMPK activator, A-769662, bypasses this ...

During host-pathogen interactions, a complex web of events is crucial for the outcome of infection. Pathogen recognition triggers powerful cellular signaling events that is translated into the induction and maintenance of innate and adaptive host immunity against infection.

Sevoflurane Pre-conditioning Ameliorates Diabetic Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Via Differential Regulation of p38 and ERK. [PDF]
Diabetes mellitus (DM) significantly increases myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury. During DM, cardioprotection induced by conventional pre-conditioning (PreCon) is decreased due to impaired AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling.

The AMPK-MFN2 axis regulates MAM dynamics and autophagy induced by energy stresses
Energy deprivation activates the cellular energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which in turn induces macroautophagy/autophagy. The mitochondrial-associated ER membrane (MAM) plays a key role in mitochondrial division and autophagy, and the ...

AMPK protects against alcohol-induced liver injury through UQCRC2 to up-regulate mitophagy
Recent reports indicated that mitophagy protects against alcohol-induced liver injury, which helps remove damaged mitochondria to reduce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been recently used in ALD (

LKB1-AMPK axis revisited [PDF]
The LKB1 tumor suppressor encodes a serine-threonine kinase whose substrates control cell metabolism, polarity, and motility. LKB1 is a major mediator of the cellular response to energy stress via activation of the master regulator of energy homeostasis, AMPK.

Berberine promotes ischemia-induced angiogenesis in mice heart via upregulation of microRNA-29b
Background: Berberine has several preventive effects on cardiovascular diseases. Increased expression of miR-29b has been reported to attenuate cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI).
