Distribution of glycerol dehydrogenase and glycerol kinase activity in halophilic archaea [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1994 A constitutive NAD+-dependent glycerol dehydrogenase activity was detected in Halobacterium salinarium and Halobacterium cutirubrum. Optimal activity was found at 3 M KCl and pH 8–10. No glycerol dehydrogenase activity could be demonstrated in representatives of the genera Haloferax and Haloarcula, even when grown in the presence of glycerol, or in ...

Activity of fluoro and deoxy analogues of glycerol as substrates and inhibitors of glycerol kinase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1972 Analogues of glycerol in which each of the three hydroxy groups is successively replaced by fluorine or hydrogen have been examined as substrates or inhibitors of glycerol kinase (Candida mycoderma) to assess the ability of fluorine to mimic a substrate hydroxy group in enzyme–analogue interactions.

Glycerol Kinase Deficiency Inhibits Glycerol Utilization in Phosphoglyceride and Triacylglycerol Biosynthesis [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1985 Glycerol 3-phosphate is an initial metabolite in the biosynthesis of phosphoglycerides and triacylglycerols. Both glycerol and glucose are precursors of glycerol 3-phosphate. Cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with glycerol kinase deficiency utilized glucose, but not glycerol in the biosynthesis of phosphoglycerides and triacylglycerols ...

Some properties of hepatic glycerol kinase and their relation to the control of glycerol utilization [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1969 1. Glycerol kinase (EC 2.7.1.30) is shown to catalyse a non-equilibrium reaction in rat liver; and, as it is the first enzyme in the pathway metabolizing glycerol, its properties may be pertinent to the metabolic regulation of glycerol uptake and utilization by this tissue. 2.

Protective effect of anisodamine in rats with glycerol-induced acute kidney injury
BMC Nephrology, 2019 Background Anisodamine is used for the treatment of reperfusion injury in various organs. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness and mechanisms of action of anisodamine in promoting recovery from glycerol-induced acute kidney injury (AKI ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

The interaction of α-chlorohydrin with glycerol kinase [PDF]
Reproduction, 1979 Summary. α-Chlorohydrin has been examined both for its ability to act as a substrate for glycerol kinase and as an inhibitor of the reaction of glycerol with glycerol kinase. Using a purified enzyme from Candida mycoderma, it was established that α-chlorohydrin does not act as a substrate for glycerol kinase, but does act as a competitive inhibitor (Ki
