4‐1BBL Suppresses Anti‐Inflammatory Responses by Regulating Metabolic Reprogramming of Macrophages

Immunology, EarlyView.
4‐1BB ligand (4‐1BBL) is known to promote sustained pro‐inflammatory responses in macrophages. This study demonstrates that 4‐1BBL acts as a negative regulator of anti‐inflammatory macrophage responses. Genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of 4‐1BBL significantly enhanced the phosphorylation of IL‐4R‐proximal JAK1 and STAT6, elevating the ...

Ketogenic Diet: An Early Option for Epilepsy Treatment, Instead of A Last Choice Only

Biomedical Journal, 2012
Ketogenic diet (KD) was usually tried as a last resort in the treatment of intractable epilepsy after failure of many antiepileptics and even epilepsy surgery. Glucose transporter-1 deficiency and pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency must be treated with KD

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

LDHB contributes to the regulation of lactate levels and basal insulin secretion in human pancreatic β cells

Cell Reports
Summary: Using 13C6 glucose labeling coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and 2D 1H-13C heteronuclear single quantum coherence NMR spectroscopy, we have obtained a comparative high-resolution map of glucose fate underpinning β cell function ...

Gene Editing of Nicotiana benthamiana Architecture for Space‐Efficient Production of Recombinant Proteins in Closed Environments

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indoor vertical farming (VF) offers practical advantages for the cultivation of plant protein bio‐factories including plant uniformity, product consistency, water/nutrient recycling and production cycles on a year‐round basis. Much progress has been achieved toward the development of innovative systems for artificial lighting, automated ...

The role of biotin and oxamate in the carboxyl transferase reaction of pyruvate carboxylase

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2014
Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is a biotin-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the MgATP-dependent carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate, an important anaplerotic reaction in central metabolism.

Novel Amino Acid Changes Increase Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Output in planta

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Characterization of previously reported Arabidopsis mutants with increased aluminum (Al) resistance (alr) resulting from greater release of Al‐chelating malate identified three unique amino acid substitutions that each impacts PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE 1, a key anaplerotic carbon fixation enzyme.

Improvement of succinate production from methane by combining rational engineering and laboratory evolution in Methylomonas sp. DH-1

Microbial Cell Factories
Recently, methane has been considered a next-generation carbon feedstock due to its abundance and it is main component of shale gas and biogas. Methylomonas sp. DH-1 has been evaluated as a promising industrial bio-catalyst candidate.

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, NADP-malic enzyme, and pyruvate, phosphate dikinase are involved in the acclimation of Nicotiana tabacum L. to drought stress.

Journal of plant physiology, 2014
Drought stress is one of the most frequent forms of abiotic stresses, which occurs under condition of limited water availability. In this work, the possible participation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31; PEPC), NADP-malic enzyme (EC 1.1.1.
