Domain Organization, Catalysis and Regulation of Eukaryotic Cystathionine Beta-Synthases

PLoS ONE, 2014
Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) is a key regulator of sulfur amino acid metabolism diverting homocysteine, a toxic intermediate of the methionine cycle, via the transsulfuration pathway to the biosynthesis of cysteine. Although the pathway itself is well conserved among eukaryotes, properties of eukaryotic CBS enzymes vary greatly.

Muscarinic receptor drug trihexyphenidyl can alter growth of mesenchymal glioblastoma in vivo

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most commonly occurring and most aggressive primary brain tumor. Transcriptomics-based tumor subtype classification has established the mesenchymal lineage of GBM (MES-GBM) as cancers with particular aggressive behavior and high

The bacterial transposon Tn7 causes premature polyadenylation of mRNA in eukaryotic organisms: TAGKO mutagenesis in filamentous fungi [PDF]

, 2003
TAGKO is a Tn7-based transposition system for genome wide mutagenesis in filamentous fungi. The effects of transposon insertion on the expression of TAGKO alleles were examined in Magnaporthe grisea and Mycosphaerella graminicola.

Influence of hyperhomocysteinemia on the cellular redox state - Impact on homocysteine-induced endothelial dysfunction [PDF]

, 2003
Hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. An increasing body of evidence has implicated oxidative stress as being contributory to homocysteines deleterious effects on the vasculature.

Hydrogen Sulfide Signaling Axis as a Target for Prostate Cancer Therapeutics

Prostate Cancer, 2016
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was originally considered toxic at elevated levels; however just in the past decade H2S has been proposed to be an important gasotransmitter with various physiological and pathophysiological roles in the body.

S-adenosylmethionine and superoxide dismutase 1 synergistically counteract Alzheimer's disease features progression in tgCRND8 mice [PDF]

, 2017
Recent evidence emphasizes the role of dysregulated one-carbon metabolism in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Exploiting a nutritional B-vitamin deficiency paradigm, we have previously shown that PSEN1 and BACE1 activity is modulated by one-carbon metabolism ...
