Proteolytic cleavage of Arabidopsis thaliana phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase-1 modifies its allosteric regulation [PDF]
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) plays a crucial role in gluconeogenesis. In this work, we analyze the proteolysis of Arabidopsis thaliana PEPCK1 (AthPEPCK1) in germinating seedlings.

The mRNA that codes for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase accounts for approximately 0.2% of the protein synthesized in H4IIEC3 hepatoma cells maintained for 24 h in serum-free medium containing N6,O2'-dibutyryl cAMP and theophylline. This value decreases to 0.04% within 3 h after the addition of insulin.

The effect of skin fatty acids on Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal of the human nose and skin. Human skin fatty acids, in particular cis-6-hexadecenoic acid (C-6-H), have high antistaphylococcal activity and can inhibit virulence determinant production.

EST analysis of gene expression in early cleavage-stage sea urchin embryos [PDF]
A set of 956 expressed sequence tags derived from 7-hour (mid-cleavage) sea urchin embryos was analyzed to assess biosynthetic functions and to illuminate the structure of the message population at this stage.

Stable conditional expression and effect of C/EBPβ-LIP in adipocytes using the pSLIK system [PDF]
Murine 3T3-L1 adipocytes are widely used as a cellular model of obesity. However, whereas transfection of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes is straightforward, ectopic gene expression in mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes has proved challenging.

Studies on the role of expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene in the development of bovine lactation ketosis [PDF]
Changes in expression of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) gene, which codes for a key regulatory enzyme of gluconeogenesis, were studied in bovine liver tissue.

The gene for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), a target of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-α (C/EBPα) and -β (C/EBPβ), begins to be expressed in the liver at birth. Mice homozygous for a deletion in the gene for CEBPα (C/EBPα−/− mice) die shortly

On the kinetic and allosteric regulatory properties of the ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from Rhodococcus jostii: An approach to evaluate glycogen metabolism in oleaginous bacteria [PDF]
Rhodococcus spp. are oleaginous bacteria that accumulate glycogen during exponential growth. Despite the importance of these microorganisms in biotechnology, little is known about the regulation of carbon and energy storage, mainly the relationship ...

Mifepristone reduces insulin resistance in patient volunteers with adrenal incidentalomas that secrete low levels of cortisol : a pilot study [PDF]
Background: Incidental adrenal masses are commonly detected during imaging for other pathologies. 10% of the elderly population has an ‘adrenal incidentaloma’, up to 20% of these show low-grade autonomous cortisol secretion and 60% of patients with ...

Propionate induces gluconeogenesis in dairy cattle through direct activation of the bovine cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene promoter [PDF]
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK, GTP; EC4.1.1.32) catalyzes the conversion of oxaloacetate (OAA) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), a critical reaction for gluconeogenesis. The two isoforms of PCK, namely cytosolic PCK (PCK1), and the mitochondrial PCK
