The Vitamin Nicotinamide: Translating Nutrition into Clinical Care
Nicotinamide, the amide form of vitamin B3 (niacin), is changed to its mononucleotide compound with the enzyme nicotinic acide/nicotinamide adenylyltransferase, and participates in the cellular energy metabolism that directly impacts normal physiology ...

Negative Regulation of the Forkhead Transcription Factor FKHR by Akt [PDF]
The FKHR gene was first identified from its disruption by the t(2;13) chromosomal translocation seen in the pediatric tumor alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. It encodes for a member of the forkhead family of transcription factors. Recently, a homolog of FKHR in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was identified called DAF-16, which is a downstream target of ...

Ocular forkhead transcription factors: seeing eye to eye [PDF]
Forkhead transcription factors comprise a large family of proteins with diverse functions during development. Recently, there has been accumulating evidence that several members of this family of proteins play an important role in the development of the vertebrate retina.

The Role of Polo-Like Kinase 1 in Regulating the Forkhead Box Family Transcription Factors
Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is a serine/threonine kinase with more than 600 phosphorylation substrates through which it regulates many biological processes, including mitosis, apoptosis, metabolism, RNA processing, vesicle transport, and G2 DNA-damage ...

Abstract Background A methodology to assess the immune microenvironment (IME) of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been established, and the prognostic impact of IME factors is not yet clear. Aims This study aimed to assess the IME factors and evaluate their prognostic values. Methods and Results We assessed CD8+ tumor‐infiltrating lymphocyte (

Signaling Network of Forkhead Family of Transcription Factors (FOXO) in Dietary Restriction
Dietary restriction (DR), which is defined as a reduction of particular or total nutrient intake without causing malnutrition, has been proved to be a robust way to extend both lifespan and health-span in various species from yeast to mammal.

Quantitative model of eukaryotic Cdk control through the Forkhead CONTROLLER
In budding yeast, synchronization of waves of mitotic cyclins that activate the Cdk1 kinase occur through Forkhead transcription factors. These molecules act as controllers of their sequential order and may account for the separation in time of ...

Targeting the core of neurodegeneration: FoxO, mTOR, and SIRT1
The global increase in lifespan noted not only in developed nations, but also in large developing countries parallels an observed increase in a significant number of non-communicable diseases, most notable neurodegenerative disorders.
