Glutamine Metabolism in Higher Plants

, 1981
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses metabolism and the role of glutamine in the flow of nitrogen. Under certain conditions, all the nitrogen assimilated by bacteria could pass through glutamine. The plant enzyme, in common with that from other sources, exhibits a number of activities that have been the basis of a number of different assays.

Network divergence analysis identifies adaptive gene modules and two orthogonal vulnerability axes in pancreatic cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumors contain diverse cellular states whose behavior is shaped by context‐dependent gene coordination. By comparing gene–gene relationships across biological contexts, we identify adaptive transcriptional modules that reorganize into distinct vulnerability axes.

Glutamine metabolism in the rat [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1980
1 .I. Glutaminase isoenzymes (EC 3.5.1.2) In his paper, entitled, ‘The synthesis of glutamine from glutamjc acid and ammonia, and the enzymic hydrolysis of glutamine in animal tissues’ published 4.5 years ago [l], H. A. Krebs perceptively recognized: ‘there are at least two types of glutaminase distinguishable by their pH optima and their inhibitions ...

Targeting TNBC: core–shell polycationic polyurea dendrimers with inherent anticancer activity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Core–shell polycationic PURE dendrimers were tested in TNBC‐derived tumor models. Both formulations selectively targeted TNBC and effectively reduced tumor volume. PUREG4‐OEI48 suppressed tumor growth without detectable toxicity, whereas PUREG4‐OCEI24, despite showing efficacy, induced hepatic toxicity.

Glutamine metabolism and radiosensitivity: Beyond the Warburg effect

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
Mounting data suggest that cancer cell metabolism can be utilized therapeutically to halt cell proliferation, metastasis and disease progression. Radiation therapy is a critical component of cancer treatment in curative and palliative settings.

SIRT4 positively regulates autophagy via ULK1, but independently of HDAC6 and OPA1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cells expressing SIRT4 (H161Y), a catalytically inactive mutant of the sirtuin SIRT4, fail to upregulate LC3B‐II and exhibit a reduced autophagic flux under stress conditions. Interestingly, SIRT4(H161Y) promotes phosphorylation of ULK1 at S638 and S758 that are associated with inhibition of autophagy initiation.

A glutamine tug-of-war between cancer and immune cells: recent advances in unraveling the ongoing battle

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research
Glutamine metabolism plays a pivotal role in cancer progression, immune cell function, and the modulation of the tumor microenvironment. Dysregulated glutamine metabolism has been implicated in cancer development and immune responses, supported by ...

Metabolic phenotypes in pancreatic cancer.

PLoS ONE, 2015
IntroductionThe aim of present study was to profile the glucose-dependent and glutamine- dependent metabolism in pancreatic cancer.MethodsWe performed Immunohistochemical staining of GLUT1, CAIX, BNIP3, p62, LC3, GLUD1, and GOT1.

Evaluation of in vitro toxicity of common phytochemicals included in weight loss supplements using 1H NMR spectroscopy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We investigated the toxicity of 12 active compounds commonly found in herbal weight loss supplements (WLS) using human liver and colon cell models. Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate was the only compound showing significant toxicity. Metabolic profiling revealed protein degradation, disrupted energy and lipid metabolism suggesting that the inclusion of EGCG ...
