Comparative Genomic Analysis Reveals 2-Oxoacid Dehydrogenase Complex Lipoylation Correlation with Aerobiosis in Archaea [PDF]
Metagenomic analyses have advanced our understanding of ecological microbial diversity, but to what extent can metagenomic data be used to predict the metabolic capacity of difficult-to-study organisms and their abiotic environmental interactions?

Protein lipoylation in cancer: metabolic reprogramming and therapeutic potential [PDF]
Protein lipoylation, a mitochondria-specific post-translational modification (PTM) evolutionarily conserved from bacteria to mammals, plays critical role in metabolic processes. In humans, four identified lipoylated proteins serve as essential components

Epigenetic regulation of cuproptosis in cancer: mechanisms, microenvironment, and therapeutic implications [PDF]
Cuproptosis is a regulated form of cell death triggered by copper overload and dependent on mitochondrial metabolism, particularly through FDX1-mediated protein lipoylation and TCA cycle disruption. Recent studies have revealed that epigenetic mechanisms,

Deep Mutational Scanning of FDX1 Identifies Key Structural Determinants of Lipoylation and Cuproptosis [PDF]
Cuproptosis is a recently described form of regulated cell death triggered by ionophore-induced copper (Cu) overload in mitochondria. It is critically dependent on ferredoxin 1 (FDX1), a mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster containing protein that acts as ...

Silencing SLC31A1 attenuates high glucose plus copper-induced cuproptosis-like signaling, oxidative stress, and barrier dysfunction in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells [PDF]
AIM: To examine whether SLC31A1 knockdown protects human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) exposed to high glucose and copper. METHODS: HRMECs were exposed to normal glucose (5 mmol/L) or high glucose (30 mmol/L), with or without 50 μmol/L

Boosting energy metabolism and biosynthesis in diverse organisms by a common bacterial salvage lipoylation protein [PDF]
Lipoylation is a highly conserved post-translational modification (PTM) crucial for energy metabolism enzymes, with distinct pathways across organisms. Whereas bacteria like Escherichia coli inherit both salvage and de novo pathways, only the latter is ...
