Different Gene Preferences of Maple Syrup Urine Disease in the Aboriginal Tribes of Taiwan
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare inborn error of metabolism caused by a deficiency of the branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKD) complex. Mutations in any one of the three different genes encoding for the BCKD components, namely, BCKDHA,

LC-MS proteomics analysis of the iInsulin/IGF-1-deficient Caenorhabditis elegans daf-2(e1370) mutant reveals extensive restructuring of intermediary metabolism [PDF]
The insulin/IGF-1 receptor is a major known determinant of dauer formation, stress resistance, longevity, and metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans. In the past, whole-genome transcript profiling was used extensively to study differential gene expression ...

This study shows the unique molecular architecture of the PDH‐ODH hybrid complex in Corynebacterium glutamicum, in which both CgE1p and CgE1o associate with the CgE2‐E3 subcomplex. The core‐forming CgE2‐E3 probably consists of six copies of CgE2, which is relatively compact compared with PDH and ODH in other microorganisms that have 24 copies of E2 ...

Lacticacidaemia due to pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency, with evidence of protein polymorphism in the α-subunit of the enzyme [PDF]
In three infants with neonatal lacticacidaemia, a deficiency in the E 1 (pyruvate dehydrogenase) component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was demonstrated in skin fibroblast cultures. Residual activites of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in the

Intracellular symbiosis is very common in the insect world. For the aphid Cinara cedri, we have identified by electron microscopy three symbiotic bacteria that can be characterized by their different sizes, morphologies, and electrodensities.

Two residues—Asp374 and His375—were identified to be catalytically important at the active center of the E2 component of the Escherichia coli 2‐oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. A series of experiments demonstrated that the mechanism of succinyl transfer between the thiol groups of dihydrolipoamide‐E2 and CoA does not involve acid–base catalysis ...

Human Metabolic Enzymes Deficiency: A Genetic Mutation Based Approach
One of the extreme challenges in biology is to ameliorate the understanding of the mechanisms which emphasize metabolic enzyme deficiency (MED) and how these pretend to have influence on human health. However, it has been manifested that MED could be either inherited as inborn error of metabolism (IEM) or acquired, which carries a high risk of ...

Integrating Metabolic Modulation and Nanomedicine for Cancer Immunotherapy
Metabolic rewiring in cancer is mapped across glucose, amino acid, lipid, nucleotide, and mitochondrial pathways, with emphasis on immune regulation. The review integrates mechanisms linking these pathways to tumor progression and therapy resistance, and profiles nanomaterial platforms that both deliver therapeutics and actively reprogram ...
