Regulation of Trypanosoma brucei Acetyl Coenzyme A Carboxylase by Environmental Lipids

mSphere, 2018
To satisfy its fatty acid needs, the extracellular eukaryotic parasite Trypanosoma brucei relies on two mechanisms: uptake of fatty acids from the host and de novo synthesis. We hypothesized that T.

Targeting carbonic anhydrase IX/XII prevents the anti‐ferroptotic effect of stromal lactic acid in prostate carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In prostate carcinoma, lactic acid, secreted by highly glycolytic cancer‐associated fibroblasts, is imported into tumor cells through the MCT1 transporter and prevents RSL3 and erastin‐induced ferroptosis (A). Targeting of carbonic anhydrase IX/XII, the main extracellular pH regulators, in tumor and stromal cells reduces microenvironmental acidosis and

De novo fatty acid synthesis and elongation of fatty acids by subcellular fractions of lung

Journal of Lipid Research, 1971
Fatty acid synthesis by subcellular fractions of rabbit lung was studied by measuring the incorporation of either radioactive acetyl coenzyme A or malonyl coenzyme A into long-chain fatty acids.

Key enzymes involved in the utilization of fatty acids by Saccharomyces cerevisiae: a review

Frontiers in Microbiology
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a eukaryotic organism with a clear genetic background and mature gene operating system; in addition, it exhibits environmental tolerance. Therefore, S. cerevisiae is one of the most commonly used organisms for the synthesis of

Construction of hyperthermostable d‐allulose 3‐epimerase from Arthrobacter globiformis M30 using the sequence information from Arthrobacter psychrolactophilus

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
d‐Allulose can be produced from d‐fructose by d‐allulose 3‐epimerase. Based on sequence homology information, we successfully engineered thermostable mutants with the protein engineering method. By integrating positive mutations, we constructed an enzyme that exhibits hyperthermostability without a loss in the activity.

The absolute rate of fatty acid synthesis by mammary gland slices from lactating rats

Journal of Lipid Research, 1976
Mammary gland utilizes a combination of substrates in vivo. To determine if and how the substrates presented to the gland alter milk fat synthesis, slices of mammary gland of lactating rats were incubated with combinations of glucose, L-lactate, and ...

Current trends in single‐cell RNA sequencing applications in diabetes mellitus

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Single‐cell RNA sequencing is a powerful approach to decipher the cellular and molecular landscape at a single‐cell resolution. The rapid development of this technology has led to a wide range of applications, including the detection of cellular and molecular mechanisms and the identification and introduction of novel potential diagnostic and ...

Earthing effects on mitochondrial function: ATP production and ROS generation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In contrast to sham and naive controls, grounded mitochondria not only exhibit significantly enhanced energy production but also demonstrate a remarkable reduction in membrane potential and oxidative stress. This suggests a profound improvement in mitochondrial health, presenting a promising avenue for therapeutic interventions.

Decreased hepatic production of very low density lipoproteins following activation of fatty acid oxidation by Ro 22-0654.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1985
In fed rat livers perfused with [1-14C]oleic acid, Ro 22-0654 (4-amino-5-ethyl-3-thiophenecarboxylic acid methyl ester hydrochloride), an inhibitor of fatty acid synthesis, activated ketogenesis and decreased the secretion of triglyceride in very low ...
