Discovery of an ergosterol-signaling factor that regulates Trypanosoma brucei growth[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2015
Ergosterol biosynthesis and homeostasis in the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei was analyzed by RNAi silencing and inhibition of sterol C24β-methyltransferase (TbSMT) and sterol 14α-demethylase [TbSDM (TbCYP51)] to explore the functions of sterols ...

[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

CD36‐mediated lipid rewiring in the metabolic adaptation of tumour ecosystems

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Nutrient deprivation drives a lipid‐centric shift in tumour metabolic symbiosis and signalling network. CD36 functions as a bidirectional bridge, transferring fatty acids from stromal donors (adipocytes, CAFs) to the ecosystem tumour‐ and microenvironment‐dependently.

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

Metabolic mRNA insufficiency of single cells: Implications for drug targeting and resistance

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Because none of the single‐cell mRNA profiles of growing cell populations encoded any pathway towards cell growth, we used cluster‐averaged transcriptomes to estimate protein‐constrained Vmax's and identify (combinations of) subpopulation‐specific targets to overcome drug resistance.

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 ...

Metabolic Profiling of Circulating and Tumour‐Infiltrating T Cells Uncovers Bioenergetic Checkpoints Linked With Immune and Clinical Skewing in Melanoma Patients

Immunology, EarlyView.
In this study, we revealed the disturbed metabolic status of circulating and tumour‐infiltrating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in melanoma patients through targeted metabolomic and lipidomic (on sorted subsets) and at single cell level using the SCENITH method.

Mutual antagonism between auxin and diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 regulates high‐temperature‐induced hypocotyl elongation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Proposed model for auxin–DGAT2 crosstalk regulating high‐temperature‐induced hypocotyl elongation. Summary Cell elongation is a fundamental process in plant growth and development, and it is significantly affected by temperature changes. While the signaling mechanisms driving high‐temperature‐induced cell elongation have been extensively studied, the ...

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Fluvastatin Plus Dipyridamole Suppresses Canine Hemangiosarcoma Growth in Patient‐Derived Xenograft Models Through Lactate Dehydrogenase‐Associated Cholesterol/Lipid Metabolism

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tumour cells commonly exhibit aerobic glycolysis and produce lactate despite oxygen availability. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyses pyruvate‐lactate interconversion and regulates intracellular lactate levels. Endothelial cells also depend on glycolysis for ATP production, which prompted us to investigate LDH in canine hemangiosarcoma (HSA),
