Dissecting the Hydrolytic Activities of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum ATPase in the Presence of Acetyl Phosphate [PDF]
Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and purified Ca$^{2+}$-ATPase hydrolyze acetyl phosphate both in the presence and absence of Ca$^{2+}$. The Ca$^{2+}$-independent activity was fully sensitive to vanadate, insensitive to thapsigargin, and proceeded without accumulation of phosphorylated enzyme.

Conformational Dependence of a Protein Kinase Phosphate Transfer Reaction [PDF]
Atomic motions and energetics for a phosphate transfer reaction catalyzed by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) are calculated by plane-wave density functional theory, starting from structures of proteins crystallized in both the reactant conformation (RC) and the transition-state conformation (TC).

Distinct Golgi Populations of Phosphatidylinositol 4-Phosphate Regulated by Phosphatidylinositol 4-Kinases [PDF]
Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) regulates biosynthetic membrane traffic at multiple steps and differentially affects the surface delivery of apically and basolaterally destined proteins in polarized cells. Two phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases (PI4Ks) have been localized to the Golgi complex in mammalian cells, type III PI4Kbeta (PI4KIIIbeta) and ...

Multi‐Omics and ‐Organ Insights into Energy Metabolic Adaptations in Early Sepsis Onset
This study shows that patients at risk of sepsis have a distinct metabolite and lipid signature, including serine and aminoadipic acid, in their serum before clinical diagnosis. A mouse model of sepsis with a compatible serum signature reveals underlying metabolic changes, including mitochondrial adaptation, altered serine‐dependent purine metabolism ...

Phosphoinositides (PI) are phospholipids that mediate signaling cascades in the cell by binding to effector proteins. Reversible phosphorylation of the inositol ring at positions 3, 4 and 5 results in the synthesis of seven different phosphoinositides.

Activation of Phosphatidylinositol Kinase and Phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate Kinase by cAMP in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cAMP-dependent phosphorylation plays an essential role at the start of the cell cycle. It has also recently been demonstrated that the breakdown of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol is a requisite process for cell proliferation (Uno, I., Fukami, K., Kato, H., Takenawa ...

Iron‐induced lipid peroxidation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) species is the key driver of ferroptosis. The authors discovered that PHOSPHO1 lowers the level of PE in retinal pigment epithelial cells thus reducing the formation of lipid peroxides. Lowering PE levels can also prevent the creation of autolysosomes, reduce the production of free iron ...

Simulating the transport of dissolved ammonium-nitrogen and phosphate-phosphorous to streams using artificial neural network (ANN) [PDF]
The export of agricultural fertilizers to streams results in untold harms to downstream water quality and thus ecosystem. Understanding and simulating the export of these chemicals is the first step to control their transport to streams. In this paper, the export of ammonium and phosphate, two major contaminants resulted from agricultural activities ...

Arginine-Phosphate Salt Bridges Between Histones and DNA: Intermolecular Actuators that Control Nucleosome Architecture [PDF]
Structural bioinformatics and van der Waals density functional theory are combined to investigate the mechanochemical impact of a major class of histone-DNA interactions, namely the formation of salt bridges between arginine residues in histones and phosphate groups on the DNA backbone.

Activation of native TRPC1/C5/C6 channels by endothelin-1 is mediated by both PIP3 and PIP2 in rabbit coronary artery myocytes [PDF]
We investigate activation mechanisms of native TRPC1/C5/C6 channels (termed TRPC1 channels) by stimulation of endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptor subtypes in freshly dispersed rabbit coronary artery myocytes using single channel recording and ...
