A cryptic allosteric pocket shapes isoform‐selective inhibition of human malic enzymes
Abstract Malic enzymes (ME) regulate central carbon metabolism and cellular redox balance, and the mitochondrial isoform ME2 is frequently upregulated in aggressive cancers to support metabolic flexibility and stress resistance. Isoform‐selective inhibition has remained out of reach because the catalytic machinery is essentially invariant across the ...

Abstract The Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi contains a highly reduced genome lacking many primary metabolic pathways. However, B. burgdorferi retains the mevalonate pathway that synthesizes isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), the precursor to the peptidoglycan carrier lipid.

We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Molecular, genetic, virological, and biochemical analysis in combination with global proteome and phosphoproteome profiling and functional assays were applied to study the role of PR130 in the context of HSV‐1 replication. The observations reveal that host‐intrinsic mechanisms regulate HSV‐1 replication and highlight PR130 as a susceptibility factor of

Genes Associated With Fracture Risk in Thoroughbred Horses Have Novel Roles in Osteogenesis
ABSTRACT Bone fractures in Thoroughbred racehorses are a major welfare problem. Genetic factors contribute to fracture risk. Cell models have previously identified 112 differentially expressed genes in bone‐forming osteoblasts derived from horses at high and low genetic risk of fracture. However, 42 of these genes have no published role in bone.
