The protein cost of metabolic fluxes: prediction from enzymatic rate laws and cost minimization [PDF]
, 2016 Bacterial growth depends crucially on metabolic fluxes, which are limited by the cell's capacity to maintain metabolic enzymes. The necessary enzyme amount per unit flux is a major determinant of metabolic strategies both in evolution and bioengineering.

Determination of ADP/ATP translocase isoform ratios in malignancy and cellular senescence
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The individual functions of three isoforms exchanging ADP and ATP (ADP/ATP translocases; ANTs) on the mitochondrial membrane remain unclear. We developed a method for quantitatively differentiating highly similar human ANT1, ANT2, and ANT3 using parallel reaction monitoring. This method allowed us to assess changes in translocase levels during cellular

Differential regulation of bile acid homeostasis by the farnesoid X receptor in liver and intestine
Journal of Lipid Research, 2007 Bile acid concentrations are controlled by a feedback regulatory pathway whereby activation of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) represses transcription of both the CYP7A1 gene, encoding the rate-limiting enzyme in the classic bile acid synthesis pathway ...

Role of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Nutrient Signaling Pathways During Winemaking: A Phenomics Approach
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 The ability of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to adapt to the changing environment of industrial processes lies in the activation and coordination of many molecular pathways. The most relevant ones are nutrient signaling pathways because they control

Gene regulation in continuous cultures: A unified theory for bacteria and yeasts [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 During batch growth on mixtures of two growth-limiting substrates, microbes consume the substrates either sequentially or simultaneously. These growth patterns are manifested in all types of bacteria and yeasts. The ubiquity of these growth patterns suggests that they are driven by a universal mechanism common to all microbial species. In previous work,

The role of NF-Y in the transcriptional regulation of human topoisomerase II¯ : a thesis presented to Massey University in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry [PDF]
, 2001 DNA topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyse reactions that alter the topological state of DNA during the various processes of DNA metabolism including transcription, recombination, replication and chromosome segregation. Human cells exhibit a

Understanding and measuring mechanical signals in the tumor stroma
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This review discusses cancer‐associated fibroblast subtypes and their functions, particularly in relation to extracellular matrix production, as well as the development of 3D models to study tumor stroma mechanics in vitro. Several quantitative techniques to measure tissue mechanical properties are also described, to emphasize the diagnostic and ...

Mechanism of 3-Methylanthranilic Acid Derepression of the Tryptophan Operon in \u3cem\u3eEscherichia coli\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 1970 3-Methylanthranilic acid (3MA) inhibits growth and causes derepression of the tryptophan biosynthetic enzymes in wild-type strains of Escherichia coli. Previous reports attributed this effect to an inhibition of the conversion of 1-(o-carboxyphenylamino)-
