Glutaminase-free L-asparaginase production by Leucosporidium muscorum isolated from Antarctic marine-sediment

open access: yes, 2020
L-asparaginase (ASNase) is an essential drug in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Commercial bacterial ASNases increase patient survival, but the consequent immunological reactions remain a challenge.

The Role of Glutamine and Glutaminase in Pulmonary Hypertension

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) refers to a clinical and pathophysiological syndrome in which pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressure are increased due to structural or functional changes in pulmonary vasculature caused by a variety of ...

Expression of Gls and Gls2 glutaminase isoforms in astrocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The expression of glutaminase in glial cells has been a controversial issue and matter of debate for many years. Actually, glutaminase is essentially considered as a neuronal marker in brain.

Improving the Production of Salt-Tolerant Glutaminase by Integrating Multiple Copies of Mglu into the Protease and 16S rDNA Genes of Bacillus subtilis 168

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
In this study, the Micrococcus luteus K-3 glutaminase was successfully over-expressed in the GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) Bacillus subtilis strain 168 by integration of the Mglu gene in the 16S rDNA locus. This was done in order to screen a strain

SNAP25 Inhibits Glioma Progression by Regulating Synapse Plasticity via GLS-Mediated Glutaminolysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2021
BackgroundNeuronal activity regulated by synaptic communication exerts an important role in tumorigenesis and progression in brain tumors. Genes for soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) annotated with the ...

Targeting glutaminase and mTOR

open access: yesOncotarget, 2015
Comprehensive genomic and proteomic analyses demonstrate that there is nearly universal activation of the PI3K pathway in glioblastoma (GBM) patients [1]. Persistent PI3K signaling promotes GBM formation and tumor progression in genetic mouse models, establishing PI3K and its effecter mTOR as compelling molecular targets.

Alone and together: current approaches to targeting glutaminase enzymes as part of anti-cancer therapies

open access: yesFuture Drug Discovery, 2022
Metabolic reprogramming is a major hallmark of malignant transformation in cancer, and part of the so-called Warburg effect, in which the upregulation of glutamine catabolism plays a major role.

Cocaine modulates both glutaminase gene expression and glutaminase activity in the brain of cocaine-sensitized mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Glutaminase is considered the main Glutamate (Glu) producing enzyme. Two isoforms, liver (LGA) and kidney (KGA) type glutaminases have been identified in neurons.

ON THE PRESENCE OF GLUTAMINASE IN MUSCLE [PDF]

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology and Cognate Medical Sciences, 1969
The glutaminase activity of rat cardiac and skeletal muscle has been investigated, and compared with that of rat kidney. Vmax per g. of protein was 42 µmole/hr for heart muscle homogenates and 478 µmole/hr for kidney homogenates. Glutaminase activity was not detectable in about 50 per cent of the skeletal muscle homogenates; in the other 50 per cent ...

Brucella abortus modulates macrophage polarization and inflammatory response by targeting glutaminases through the NF-κB signaling pathway

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
ObjectivesThe mechanism of Brucella infection regulating macrophage phenotype has not been completely elucidated until now. This study aimed to determine the mechanism of Brucella abortus in the modulation of macrophage phenotype using RAW264.7 cells as ...
