Moonlighting Proteins: The Case of the Hexokinases
Moonlighting proteins are defined as proteins with two or more functions that are unrelated and independent to each other, so that inactivation of one of them should not affect the second one and vice versa.

Molecular Cloning and Expression Analysis of a Hexokinase Gene, MdHXK1 in Apple
A hexokinase gene named MdHXK1 (MDP0000309677) was cloned from ‘Gala’ apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.). Sequence analysis showed that the MdHXK1 gene was 1 497 bp long and encoded 499 amino acids. The predicted molecular mass of this protein was 54.05 kD,

Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry Quantification of 13C-Labeling in Sugars
Subcellular compartmentation has been challenging in plant 13C-metabolic flux analysis. Indeed, plant cells are highly compartmented: they contain vacuoles and plastids in addition to the regular organelles found in other eukaryotes.

Tubulin βII and βIII Isoforms as the Regulators of VDAC Channel Permeability in Health and Disease
In recent decades, there have been several models describing the relationships between the cytoskeleton and the bioenergetic function of the cell. The main player in these models is the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), located in the mitochondrial

Unmasking the Warburg Effect: Unleashing the Power of Enzyme Inhibitors for Cancer Therapy
The Warburg effect (or aerobic glycolysis), which was first described in 1926 by Otto Heinrich Warburg, consists of the change in glucose metabolism in cancer cells.

Sugar Phosphorylation Controls Carbon Source Utilization and Virulence of Candida albicans
Candida albicans is an opportunistic human fungal pathogen that relies upon different virulence traits, including morphogenesis, invasion, biofilm formation, and nutrient acquisition from host sources as well as metabolic adaptations during host invasion.
