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.

Changes in chick liver and brain mevalonate kinase, mevalonate-5-phosphate kinase and mevalonate-5-pyrophosphate decarboxylase during development

International Journal of Biochemistry, 1984
Phosphorylation and decarboxylation of mevalonate in chick liver and brain was investigated during early post hatching stages of development. In chick liver, both mevalonate kinase and mevalonate-5-phosphate kinase increased their activity from day 5 of age while pyrophosphate decarboxylase activity remained low during the first days after hatching ...

Structural and mutational analysis of Methanosarcina mazei prenylated FMN synthase reveals the basis of its unique prenyl donor substrate specificity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Some prenylated flavin mononucleotide (prFMN) synthases exceptionally prefer dimethylallyl phosphate (DMAP) over dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), which is a common prenyl donor substrate for many prenyltransferases. Structural and mutagenic analyses of Methanosarcina mazei prFMN synthase, which prefers DMAP but can also accept DMAPP, elucidated its ...

Weekly oral alendronate in mevalonate kinase deficiency [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2013
Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is caused by mutations in the MVK gene, encoding the second enzyme of mevalonate pathway, which results in subsequent shortage of downstream compounds, and starts in childhood with febrile attacks, skin, joint, and gastrointestinal symptoms, sometimes induced by vaccinations.For a history of early-onset corticosteroid-

UbiB proteins mediate an ATP‐dependent decarboxylation step in bacterial ubiquinone biosynthesis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
UbiB proteins are atypical protein kinase‐like enzymes essential for ubiquinone biosynthesis. Here, we demonstrate that bacterial UbiB proteins catalyze the O2‐dependent decarboxylation of ubiquinone precursors, a process linked to their ATPase activity.

Identification of two novel MVD mutations and one novel FDPS mutation in Chinese patients with porokeratosis

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundPorokeratosis (PK) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by abnormal epidermal keratinization, primarily resulting from mutations in four genes associated with the mevalonate pathway: mevalonate decarboxylase (MVD ...

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?

Immunology, EarlyView.
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as

Light signaling controls chloroplast pyruvate metabolism through the STF1/2–PKP1 module in soybean

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In soybean, light‐responsive proteins switch on GmPKP1, which boosts chloroplast pyruvate production. This increases pigments, photosynthesis, seed oil, pod number, and yield, revealing a new way that light boosts crop productivity. ABSTRACT Light signaling coordinates plant development with metabolism, but the link between photoreceptors and ...

AA amyloidosis in the four historical monogenic autoinflammatory diseases: Clinical burden and insights from a retrospective referral‐centre study

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background AA amyloidosis (AAA) remains a life‐threatening yet largely preventable complication of monogenic autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs). Methods We retrospectively described patients with AAA secondary to one of the four historical monogenic AIDs (familial Mediterranean fever [FMF], cryopyrin‐associated periodic syndrome [CAPS ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and
