Simvastatin overcomes the pPCK1‐pLDHA‐SPRINGlac axis‐mediated ferroptosis and chemo‐immunotherapy resistance in AKT‐hyperactivated intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

open access: yesCancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a challenging cancer with an increasing incidence. The Phase III TOPAZ‐1/KEYNOTE‐966 study demonstrated chemo‐immunotherapy (CIT) as a significant advancement, potentially replacing traditional chemotherapy for advanced biliary tract cancer.

Citrate Treatment in a Patient with Pyruvate Decarboxylase Deficiency

open access: yesThe Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1976
A 5-year old boy with intermittent sopor, severe vomiting and ataxia since 2 1/2 years old was described. During attack period the patient showed elevation of blood pyruvate and alanine and also cerebrospinal-fluid pyruvate, whereas during the time free from attack only blood pyruvate was increased.

Short‐chain acyl post‐translational modifications in cancers: Mechanisms, roles, and therapeutic implications

open access: yesCancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) play a pivotal role in epigenetic regulation and are key pathways for modulating protein functionality. PTMs involve the covalent attachment of distinct chemical groups, such as succinyl, crotonyl, and lactyl, at specific protein sites, which alter protein structure, function, stability, and activity ...

Crystal structure of an inferred ancestral bacterial pyruvate decarboxylase [PDF]

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section F Structural Biology Communications, 2018
Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC; EC 4.1.1.1) is a key enzyme in homofermentative metabolism where ethanol is the major product. PDCs are thiamine pyrophosphate- and Mg2+ion-dependent enzymes that catalyse the non-oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide.

Gold(I)-catalysed synthesis of a furan analogue of thiamine pyrophosphate

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014
An analogue of thiamine having a furan ring in place of the thiazolium ring has been synthesised by a short and efficient route, involving gold(I)-catalysed cyclisation of an alkynyl alcohol to form the furan ring.

Identification of novel hypoxia-responsive factors in deep-water rice conferring tolerance to flood during germination

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2020
Flood in rice fields at the time of seed sowing and early seedling establishment causes extensive crop loss due to the inability of the seeds to tolerate and overcome submergence. In the present study, rice genotypes from Assam, India tolerant to hypoxia

Hazelnut: Explorations toward the Biocatalytic Synthesis of its Aroma Precursor

open access: yesChemBioChem, EarlyView.
This article proposes a biosynthetic route for synthesizing filbertone, the principal flavor compound of hazelnut, through a multienzyme cascade. The pathway uses D‐amino acid oxidase, threonine deaminase, and a regioselective transketolase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus to produce a sustainable, natural hazelnut aroma precursor, addressing ...
