Connexin43 Deficiency Leads to Ventricular Arrhythmias by Reprogramming Proline Metabolism. [PDF]
The study demonstrated that connexin43 (Cx43) knockout caused arrhythmic phenotype and decreased proline content in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, Cx43 interacts with the amino acid transporter SNAT2 (sodium‐dependent neutral amino acid transporter), and its deficiency disrupts proline transport and metabolism.

In Silico Structural Modeling of Wildtype and Mutant PRODH Proteins Involved in Psychiatric Disorder. [PDF]
Abstract Proline dehydrogenase is an important mitochondrial enzyme that is encoded by the PRODH gene. Biologically, a mutation in this gene affects the activity of proline dehydrogenase enzyme that is normally involved in conversion of proline to glutamate.

Crystallographic Fragment Screening of a Bifunctional Proline Catabolic Enzyme Reveals New Inhibitor Templates for Proline Dehydrogenase and L-Glutamate-γ-semialdehyde Dehydrogenase. [PDF]
The proline catabolic pathway consisting of proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) and L-glutamate-γ-semialdehyde (GSAL) dehydrogenase (GSALDH) catalyzes the four-electron oxidation of L-proline to L-glutamate. Chemical probes to these enzymes are of interest for

Hepatic-Differentiated Subpopulation in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Multi-Omics Analysis of Tumors With Lymphovascular Invasion. [PDF]
A hepatic‐differentiated subpopulation is associated with lymphovascular invasion in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. A visual summary of the key findings from our multi‐omics analysis. The TITANIA framework enabled the identification of a hepatic‐differentiated ccRCC subpopulation characterized by the upregulation of liver‐like metabolic pathways and ...

Hepatic CBP/p300 Orchestrate Amino Acid-Driven Gluconeogenesis through Histone Crotonylation. [PDF]
Hepatic CBP/p300 control amino acid‐driven gluconeogenesis by modulating histone crotonylation. This study identifies 2‐aminoadipate (2‐AAA) as a key metabolite that enhances crotonylation and activates amino acid and gluconeogenic gene expression.

Beneficial Effect of Proline Supplementation on Goat Spermatozoa Quality during Cryopreservation
Sperm cryopreservation contributes to the extensive utilization of artificial insemination (AI) in the daily livestock industry. However, due to the presence of few sperm with good biological function in post-thaw goat sperm, its use has been limited for
