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.

Regulatory Functions of Nilaparvata lugens GSK-3 in Energy and Chitin Metabolism
Glucose metabolism is a biologically important metabolic process. Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3) is a key enzyme located in the middle of the sugar metabolism pathway that can regulate the energy metabolism process in the body through insulin signaling.

How are proteins reduced in the endoplasmic reticulum? [PDF]
The reversal of thiol oxidation in proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is crucial for protein folding, degradation, chaperone function, and the ER stress response. Our understanding of this process is generally poor but progress has been made.

Phylogenetic analysis of the glucose-6-phosphate isomerase gene in Trypanosoma cruzi
Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, has a basically clonal population structure with rare hybridization events. The species is subdivided into six "Discrete Typing Units" called DTUs I, IIa-e, distributed into two major phylogenetic lineages, T. cruzi I and II (TC I and II).

Mechanism study of alachlor biodegradation by Paecilomycesmarquandii with proteomic and metabolomic methods [PDF]
Alachlor is an herbicide that is widely used worldwide to protect plant crops against broadleaf weedsand annual grasses. However, due to its endocrine-disrupting activity, its application had been bannedin the European Union.

Label-free shotgun proteomics and metabolite analysis reveal a significant metabolic shift during citrus fruit development. [PDF]
Label-free LC-MS/MS-based shot-gun proteomics was used to quantify the differential protein synthesis and metabolite profiling in order to assess metabolic changes during the development of citrus fruits.

CO2-Induced Transcriptional Reorganization: Molecular Basis of Capnophillic Lactic Fermentation in Thermotoga neapolitana [PDF]
Capnophilic lactic fermentation (CLF) is a novel anaplerotic pathway able to convert sugars to lactic acid (LA) and hydrogen using CO2 as carbon enhancer in the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana.
