Dietary Methionine Restriction Regulates Liver Protein Synthesis and Gene Expression Independently of Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 2 Phosphorylation in Mice [PDF]
Background: The phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (p-eIF2) during dietary amino acid insufficiency reduces protein synthesis and alters gene expression via the integrated stress response (ISR).Objective: We explored whether a Met ...

Biosynthesis of thiocarboxylic acid-containing natural products. [PDF]
Thiocarboxylic acid-containing natural products are rare and their biosynthesis and biological significance remain unknown. Thioplatensimycin (thioPTM) and thioplatencin (thioPTN), thiocarboxylic acid congeners of the antibacterial natural products ...

Electrodes modified with lipid membranes to study quinone oxidoreductases
Quinone oxidoreductases are a class of membrane enzymes that catalyse the oxidation or reduction of membrane-bound quinols/quinones. The conversion of quinone/quinol by these enzymes is difficult to study because of the hydrophobic nature of the enzymes ...

CoA‐dependent activation of mitochondrial acyl carrier protein links four neurodegenerative diseases
PKAN, CoPAN, MePAN, and PDH‐E2 deficiency share key phenotypic features but harbor defects in distinct metabolic processes. Selective damage to the globus pallidus occurs in these genetic neurodegenerative diseases, which arise from defects in CoA ...

Abstract The following evidence supports the conclusion that the reaction catalyzed by succinyl coenzyme A:3-keto acid coenzyme A transferase proceeds through two half-reactions in a "ping-pong" mechanism with an enzyme-CoA intermediate. (a) Double reciprocal plots of the initial rates against substrate concentration for the reaction in each direction ...
