The relationships between transketolase, yeast pyruvate decarboxylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex [PDF]
The amino acid sequences of four thiamine pyrophosphate‐requiring enzymes were aligned with the published amino acid sequence of the transketolase of Hansenula polymorpha. Sequences of the combined α and β subunits of the E1 enzyme of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes of Homo sapiens and Bacillus stearothermophilus aligned well with the ...

Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinases: Therapeutic Targets for Diabetes and Cancers [PDF]
Impaired glucose homeostasis is one of the risk factors for causing metabolic diseases including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cancers. In glucose metabolism, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) mediates a major regulatory step, an irreversible reaction

Kruppel‐like factor 15 regulates fuel switching between glucose and fatty acids in brown adipocytes
Aims/Introduction Brown adipose tissue (BAT) utilizes large amounts of fuel for thermogenesis, but the mechanism by which fuel substrates are switched in response to changes in energy status is poorly understood.

Inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex by moniliformin [PDF]
The mechanism for the inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex from bovine heart by moniliformin was investigated. Thiamin pyrophosphate proved to be necessary for the inhibitory action of moniliformin. The inhibition reaction was shown to be time-dependent and to follow first-order and saturation kinetics.

Effect of the hydrogenation solvent in the PHIP-SAH hyperpolarization of [1- 13 C]pyruvate [PDF]
ParaHydrogen Induced Polarization-Side Arm Hydrogenation (PHIP-SAH) is an inexpensive tool to obtain hyperpolarized pyruvate (and other metabolites) that can be applied to in-vivo diagnostics, for the investigation of metabolic processes. This method is based on hydrogenation, using hydrogen enriched in the para-isomer, of unsaturated substrates ...

Metabolic disturbances have been implicated in demyelinating diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS). Melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone, has emerged as a potent neuroprotective candidate to reduce myelin loss and improve MS outcomes.

BCKDH: the missing link in apicomplexan mitochondrial metabolism is required for full virulence of Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium berghei [PDF]
While the apicomplexan parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii are thought to primarily depend on glycolysis for ATP synthesis, recent studies have shown that they can fully catabolize glucose in a canonical TCA cycle.
