Hydrogen Drives Part of the Reverse Krebs Cycle under Metal or Meteorite Catalysis [PDF]
Hydrogen (H2) is a geological source of reducing electrons that is thought to have powered the metabolism of the last universal common ancestor to all extant life, and that is still metabolized by various modern organisms.

Retinal metabolism displays evidence for uncoupling of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation via Cori-, Cahill-, and mini-Krebs-cycle [PDF]
The retina consumes massive amounts of energy, yet its metabolism and substrate exploitation remain poorly understood. Here, we used a murine explant model to manipulate retinal energy metabolism under entirely controlled conditions and utilised 1H-NMR ...

Krebs Cycle Reborn in Macrophage Immunometabolism
A striking change has happened in the field of immunology whereby specific metabolic processes have been shown to be a critical determinant of immune cell activation. Multiple immune receptor types rewire metabolic pathways as a key part of how they promote effector functions.

Accumulation of Succinate in Cardiac Ischemia Primarily Occurs via Canonical Krebs Cycle Activity [PDF]
Succinate accumulates during ischemia, and its oxidation at reperfusion drives injury. The mechanism of ischemic succinate accumulation is controversial and is proposed to involve reversal of mitochondrial complex II.

The Krebs Cycle Connection: Reciprocal Influence Between Alternative Splicing Programs and Cell Metabolism [PDF]
Alternative splicing is a pervasive mechanism that molds the transcriptome to meet cell and organism needs. However, how this layer of gene expression regulation is coordinated with other aspects of the cell metabolism is still largely undefined. Glucose

Engineering of Escherichia coli for Krebs cycle-dependent production of malic acid [PDF]
Background Malate is a C4-dicarboxylic acid widely used as an acidulant in the food and beverage industry. Rational engineering has been performed in the past for the development of microbial strains capable of efficient production of this metabolite ...

Dystrophinopathy-associated dysfunction of Krebs cycle metabolism. [PDF]
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a deadly muscle-wasting disorder caused by loss of dystrophin protein. Studies suggest that metabolic alterations are important to disease pathogenesis. Because muscle accounts for ~40% of body mass, we hypothesized that dystrophy-mediated metabolic changes would be measurable in biofluids and that a metabolomic analysis ...

GPR91: expanding the frontiers of Krebs cycle intermediates. [PDF]
Since it was discovered, the citric acid cycle has been known to be central to cell metabolism and energy homeostasis. Mainly found in the mitochondrial matrix, some of the intermediates of the Krebs cycle are also present in the blood stream. Currently, there are several reports that indicate functional roles for Krebs intermediates out of its cycle ...

Malic enzyme 2 connects the Krebs cycle intermediate fumarate to mitochondrial biogenesis. [PDF]
Mitochondria have an independent genome (mtDNA) and protein synthesis machinery that coordinately activate for mitochondrial generation. Here, we report that the Krebs cycle intermediate fumarate links metabolism to mitobiogenesis through binding to ...
