Geniposide regulates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion possibly through controlling glucose metabolism in INS-1 cells. [PDF]
Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) is essential to the control of metabolic fuel homeostasis. The impairment of GSIS is a key element of β-cell failure and one of causes of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Nonstructural 5A protein of hepatitis C virus interacts with pyruvate carboxylase and modulates viral propagation. [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is highly dependent on cellular factors for its own propagation. By employing tandem affinity purification method, we identified pyruvate carboxylase (PC) as a cellular partner for NS5A protein. NS5A interacted with PC through the

Phenotypic landscape inference reveals multiple evolutionary paths to C$_4$ photosynthesis [PDF]
C$_4$ photosynthesis has independently evolved from the ancestral C$_3$ pathway in at least 60 plant lineages, but, as with other complex traits, how it evolved is unclear.

Structure and substrate selectivity of the 750-kDa α6β6 holoenzyme of geranyl-CoA carboxylase. [PDF]
Geranyl-CoA carboxylase (GCC) is essential for the growth of Pseudomonas organisms with geranic acid as the sole carbon source. GCC has the same domain organization and shares strong sequence conservation with the related biotin-dependent carboxylases 3 ...

Genome-scale architecture of small molecule regulatory networks and the fundamental trade-off between regulation and enzymatic activity [PDF]
Metabolic flux is in part regulated by endogenous small molecules that modulate the catalytic activity of an enzyme, e.g., allosteric inhibition. In contrast to transcriptional regulation of enzymes, technical limitations have hindered the production of ...

Pyruvate Carboxylase in Rhodopseudomonas spheroides [PDF]
SUMMARY: Unlike some other photosynthetic bacteria, Rhodopseudomonas spheroides directly carboxylates pyruvate in a reaction catalysed by a pyruvate carboxylase (E.C. 6·4.1·1). A partially purified preparation of the enzyme was acetylCoA-dependent. No phosphoenolpyruvate synthetase or phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity was detected in extracts of

Targeting Lactate and Lactylation in Cancer Metabolism and Immunotherapy
Lactate, once deemed a metabolic waste, emerges as a central regulator of cancer progression. This review elucidates how lactate and its epigenetic derivative, protein lactylation, orchestrate tumor metabolism, immune suppression, and therapeutic resistance.
