Omics assisted N-terminal proteoform and protein expression profiling on methionine aminopeptidase 1 (MetAP1) deletion [PDF]

, 2018
Excision of the N-terminal initiator methionine (iMet) residue from nascent peptide chains is an essential and omnipresent protein modification carried out by methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs) that accounts for a major source of N-terminal proteoform ...

[Microbial models in screening of inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis].

Antibiotiki i khimioterapiia = Antibiotics and chemoterapy [sic], 2014
On the base of previously developed microbial models high effective scheme for screening of inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis (ISB) is proposed. It is based on cultivation of halophilic bacteria Halobacterium salinarum (former Halobacterium halobium), possessing mevalonate pathway of sterol biosynthesis, and cultivation of fungus Acremonium fusidioides

Steroidogenic compensation and lipid deficiency with enhanced NAD+ salvage in small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Fetal growth restriction is associated with placental metabolic adaptations. In small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta (SGA), cholesterol receptors and steroidogenic enzymes are upregulated, enhancing steroidogenesis. NAD salvage pathway is also increased to support NADP+/NADPH requirements.

Ergosterol Biosynthesis and Regulation Impact the Antifungal Resistance and Virulence of Candida spp.

Stresses
Ergosterol is a key fungal sterol that is mainly found in the plasma membrane and is responsible for the proper membrane structure, rigidity, permeability and activity of membrane proteins. Ergosterol plays a crucial role in the ability of fungi to adapt

The effect of MEP pathway and other inhibitors on the intracellular localization of a plasma membrane-targeted, isoprenylable GFP reporter protein in tobacco BY-2 cells [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/yx]

F1000Research, 2013
We have established an in vivo visualization system for the geranylgeranylation of proteins in a stably transformed tobacco BY-2 cell line, based on the expression of a dexamethasone-inducible GFP fused to the carboxy-terminal basic domain of the rice ...

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based

SREBP1-dependent de novo fatty acid synthesis gene expression is elevated in malignant melanoma and represents a cellular survival trait. [PDF]

, 2019
de novo fatty acid biosynthesis (DNFA) is a hallmark adaptation of many cancers that supports survival, proliferation, and metastasis. Here we elucidate previously unexplored aspects of transcription regulation and clinical relevance of DNFA in cancers ...

PPT1‐mediated plastidic phosphoenolpyruvate import enhances fatty acid biosynthesis in sugar‐rich tissues

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Metabolic engineering of vegetative tissues for lipid production holds transformative potential for sustainable biofuels, yet achieving sufficient yields remains challenging. Here, we present a strategy to enhance fatty acid synthesis by redirecting cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) into plastids through overexpression of the plastidial ...
