Uptake of Prochlorococcus‐derived metabolites by Alteromonas macleodii MIT1002 shows high levels of substrate specificity

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
Seawater contains small biomolecules, or metabolites, that are highly labile components of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Marine microbes interact by exchanging metabolites, thus shaping marine microbial ecology, DOM composition, and global carbon ...

Branched-chain amino acid metabolism in cancer

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic Care, 2018
The current review aims to provide an update on the recent biomedical interest in oncogenic branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism, and discusses the advantages of using BCAAs and expression of BCAA-related enzymes in the treatment and diagnosis of cancers.An accumulating body of evidence demonstrates that BCAAs are essential nutrients for cancer ...

Mixed‐Metal Promotion in a Manganese‐Molybdenum Oxynitride as Catalyst to Integrate C─C and C─N Coupling Reactions for the Direct Synthesis of Acetonitrile from Syngas and Ammonia

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Transition metal oxy/carbo‐nitrides show great promise as catalysts for sustainable processes. A Mn‐Mo mixed‐metal oxynitride attains remarkable performance for the direct synthesis of acetonitrile, an important commodity chemical, via sequential C─N and C─C coupling from syngas (C1) and ammonia (N1) feedstocks.

BCAA metabolism: the Achilles’ heel of ovarian cancer, polycystic ovary syndrome, and premature ovarian failure

Frontiers in Endocrinology
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), including valine, leucine and isoleucine, are essential nutrient signals that influence mammalian animal metabolism. Many enzymes are involved in the metabolism of BCAAs, such as branched-chain amino acid transaminases

Depletion of branched‐chain aminotransferase 2 (BCAT2) enzyme impairs myoblast survival and myotube formation

Physiological Reports, 2019
Much is known about the positive effects of branched‐chain amino acids (BCAA) in regulating muscle protein metabolism. Comparatively much less is known about the effects of these amino acids and their metabolites in regulating myotube formation.

Branched-Chain Amino Acids and Brain Function [PDF]

The Journal of Nutrition, 2005
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) influence brain function by modifying large, neutral amino acid (LNAA) transport at the blood-brain barrier. Transport is shared by several LNAAs, notably the BCAAs and the aromatic amino acids (ArAAs), and is competitive.
