Keratin 19 as a prognostic marker and contributing factor of metastasis and chemoresistance in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Keratin 19 (KRT19) is overexpressed in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer with high levels of Kallikrein‐related peptidases (KLK) 4–7 and is associated with poor survival. In vivo analyses demonstrate that elevated KRT19 increases peritoneal tumour burden.

RNAseq and targeted metabolomics implicate RIC8 in regulation of energy homeostasis, amino acid compartmentation, and asexual development in Neurospora crassa

mBio
Heterotrimeric G protein signaling pathways control growth and development in eukaryotes. In the multicellular fungus Neurospora crassa, the guanine nucleotide exchange factor RIC8 regulates heterotrimeric Gα subunits.

Interaction between NO and oxytocin: Influence on LHRH release

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997
Nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-containing neurons have been localized in various parts of the CNS. These neurons occur in the hypothalamus, mostly in the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei and their axons project to the neural lobe of the pituitary gland.

Arginine metabolism and deprivation in cancer therapy.

Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie, 2019
Certain cancer cells with nutrient auxotrophy and have a much higher nutrient demand compared with normal human cells. Arginine as a versatile amino acid, has multiple biological functions in metabolic and signaling pathways. Depletion of this amino acid

Genome wide comparative analysis of the effects of PRMT5 and PRMT4/CARM1 arginine methyltransferases on the Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Methylation at arginine residues (R) is an important post-translational modification that regulates a myriad of essential cellular processes in eukaryotes, such as transcriptional regulation, RNA processing, signal transduction and DNA repair.

Pathogenic Neurofibromatosis type 1 gene variants in tumors of non‐NF1 patients and role of R1276

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Somatic variants of the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene occur across neoplasms without clinical manifestation of the disease NF1. We identified emerging somatic pathogenic NF1 variants and hotspots, for example, at the arginine finger 1276. Those missense variants provide fundamental information about neurofibromin's role in cancer.

Effect of streptococcal arginine deiminase on the function of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺T lymphocytes

Медицинская иммунология
Arginine metabolism plays an important role in regulating the functions of immune cells in mammals. Pathogenic microbes use the mechanism of arginine depletion to suppress the immune response during infection.

Arginine Metabolism in Myeloid Cells Shapes Innate and Adaptive Immunity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Arginine metabolism has been a key catabolic and anabolic process throughout the evolution of the immune response. Accruing evidence indicates that arginine-catabolizing enzymes, mainly nitric oxide synthases and arginases, are closely integrated with ...

Pegylated arginine deiminase synergistically increases the cytotoxicity of gemcitabine in human pancreatic cancer. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has proven to be one of the most chemo-resistant among all solid organ malignancies. Several mechanisms of resistance have been described, though few reports of strategies to overcome this chemo-resistance have ...

dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...
