Background. Epileptic seizures represent one of the leading clinical manifestations of glial brain tumors that develop on average in 51% of cases. In gliomas, epileptogenesis is quite complex and multifactorial.Objective: to study a role of the expressed

Effect of the nitrogen source on glutamine and alanine biosynthesis in Neurospora crassa. An in vivo 15N nuclear magnetic resonance study [PDF]
The influences of different nitrogen sources on the relative rates of biosynthesis of glutamine and alanine have been studied by 15N nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of intact Neurospora crassa mycelia suspensions.

The response of diatom central carbon metabolism to nitrogen starvation is different from that of green algae and higher plants [PDF]
The availability of nitrogen varies greatly in the ocean and limits primary productivity over large areas. Diatoms, a group of phytoplankton that are responsible for about 20% of global carbon fixation, respond rapidly to influxes of nitrate and are ...

Biostimulant Effects of Seed-Applied Sedaxane Fungicide: Morphological and Physiological Changes in Maize Seedlings [PDF]
Most crops are routinely protected against seed-born and soil-borne fungal pathogens through seed-applied fungicides. The recently released succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI), sedaxane®, is a broad-spectrum fungicide, used particularly to control ...

Male proband with intractable seizures and a de novo start-codon-disrupting variant in GLUL
Summary: Bi-allelic variants in GLUL, encoding glutamine synthetase and responsible for the conversion of glutamate to glutamine, are associated with a severe recessive disease due to glutamine deficiency.

Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for efficient production of l-alanyl-l-glutamine
Background l-Alanyl-l-glutamine (AQ) is a functional dipeptide with high water solubility, good thermal stability and high bioavailability. It is widely used in clinical treatment, post-operative rehabilitation, sports health care and other fields. AQ is

Nicotinamide Reverses the Warburg Effect in CHO Cell Culture
Abstract The Warburg effect, the preferential conversion of glucose‐derived pyruvat to lactate despite available oxygen, is a key feature of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture. Lactate accumulation in recombinant protein‐producing cell culture is an inefficient usage of glucose, as well as being deleterious to cells.

Astrocytes and Glutamine Synthetase in Epileptogenesis [PDF]
AbstractThe cellular, molecular, and metabolic mechanisms that underlie the development of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy are incompletely understood. Here we review the role of astrocytes in epilepsy development (a.k.a. epileptogenesis), particularly astrocyte pathologies related to: aquaporin 4, the inwardly rectifying potassium channel Kir4.1 ...

Effects of CO2 enrichment on photosynthesis, growth, and nitrogen metabolism of the seagrass Zostera noltii [PDF]
Seagrass ecosystems are expected to benefit from the global increase in CO2 in the ocean because the photosynthetic rate of these plants may be C-i-limited at the current CO2 level.

Genetic code expansion for chemosensing and chemical actuation of biological functions
Genetic code expansion (GCE) broadens the chemical repertoire for precise control of protein function in biological systems. This review highlights GCE‐based sensing and actuating systems that operate through selective interactions between noncanonical amino acids and chemical triggers.
