Specific lid-base contacts in the 26s proteasome control the conformational switching required for substrate degradation. [PDF]
The 26S proteasome is essential for proteostasis and the regulation of vital processes through ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitinated substrates. To accomplish the multi-step degradation process, the proteasomes regulatory particle, consisting of lid

Behavioural changes are a major contributing factor in the reduction of sarcopenia in calorie-restricted ageing mice [PDF]
Background: In rodent models, caloric restriction (CR) with maintenance of adequate micronutrient supply has been reported to increase lifespan and to reduce age-induced muscle loss (sarcopenia) during ageing.

Regulation of T cell development and activation by creatine kinase B.
Creatine kinase catalyzes the reversible transfer of the N-phosphoryl group from phosphocreatine to ADP to generate ATP and plays a key role in highly energy-demanding processes such as muscle contraction and flagellar motility; however, its role in ...

Ckmt1 is Dispensable for Mitochondrial Bioenergetics Within White/Beige Adipose Tissue
Within brown adipose tissue (BAT), the brain isoform of creatine kinase (CKB) has been proposed to regulate the regeneration of ADP and phosphocreatine in a futile creatine cycle (FCC) that stimulates energy expenditure. However, the presence of FCC, and
