The NADPH oxidase NOX4 regulates redox and metabolic homeostasis preventing HCC progression
Loss of NOX4 in HCC tumor cells induces metabolic reprogramming in a Nrf2/MYC‐dependent manner to promote HCC progression. Abstract Background and Aims The NADPH oxidase NOX4 plays a tumor‐suppressor function in HCC. Silencing NOX4 confers higher proliferative and migratory capacity to HCC cells and increases their in vivo tumorigenic potential in ...

Structure, kinetic characterization and subcellular localization of the two ribulose 5-phosphate epimerase isoenzymes from Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]
The enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) ribulose-5-phosphate-epimerase (RPE) is encoded by two genes present in the genome of Trypanosoma cruzi CL Brener clone: TcRPE1 and TcRPE2. Despite high sequence similarity at the amino acid residue level,

Glucose 6-Phosphate Accumulates via Phosphoglucose Isomerase Inhibition in Heart Muscle [PDF]
Rationale: Metabolic and structural remodeling is a hallmark of heart failure. This remodeling involves activation of the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling pathway, but little is known on how intermediary metabolites are integrated as metabolic signals.

Trypanosoma evansi, which causes surra, is descended from Trypanosoma brucei brucei, which causes nagana. Although both parasites are presumed to be metabolically similar, insufficient knowledge of T. evansi precludes a full comparison.

Relationship between glycolysis and exopolysaccharide biosynhesis in Lactococcus lactis [PDF]
The relationships between glucose metabolism and exopolysaccharide (EPS) production in a Lactococcus lactis strain containing the EPS gene cluster (Eps ) and in nonproducer strain MG5267 (Eps) were characterized.

Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase deficiency
Most of the metabolic needs of erythrocytes are covered by glycolysis, the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway and the glutathione cycle. Hereditary enzyme deficiencies of all these pathways have been identified, among which glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) deficiency is the second most frequent erythroenzymopathy in glycolysis, being associated ...

Novel strategies to improve co-fermentation of pentoses with D-glucose by recombinant yeast strains in lignocellulosic hydrolysates [PDF]
Economically feasible production of second-generation biofuels requires efficient co-fermentation of pentose and hexose sugars in lignocellulosic hydrolysates under very harsh conditions. Baker’s yeast is an excellent, traditionally used ethanol producer

Construction and Optimization of Biosynthetic Pathway for the Production of D-Allulose from Glucose in Escherichia coli [PDF]
A pathway in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) was constructed to produce D-allulose from D-glucose via a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation strategy. The genes related to competitive pathways were deleted using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, and allulose-6-phosphate

Artificial Photosynthesis Would Unify the Electricity-Carbohydrate-Hydrogen Cycle for Sustainability [PDF]
Sustainable development requires balanced integration of four basic human needs – air (O2/CO2), water, food, and energy. To solve key challenges, such as CO2 fixation, electricity storage, food production, transportation fuel production, water ...
