Diabetes causes marked inhibition of mitochondrial metabolism in pancreatic β-cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Diabetes is a global health problem caused primarily by the inability of pancreatic β-cells to secrete adequate levels of insulin. The molecular mechanisms underlying the progressive failure of β-cells to respond to glucose in type-2 diabetes remain ...

SSRP1/SLC3A2 Axis in Arginine Transport: A New Target for Overcoming Immune Evasion and Tumor Progression in Peripheral T‐Cell Lymphoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Enhanced arginine uptake is a critical feature of metabolic reprogramming in PTCL, characterized by elevated expression of the arginine transporter SLC3A2. SLC3A2‐mediated arginine uptake facilitates PTCL proliferation and survival by enhancing OXPHOS metabolism and inducing immune evasion.

Metabolic responses to pyruvate kinase deletion in lysine producing Corynebacterium glutamicum

open access: yesMicrobial Cell Factories, 2008
Background Pyruvate kinase is an important element in flux control of the intermediate metabolism. It catalyzes the irreversible conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate into pyruvate and is under allosteric control.

Genome-scale architecture of small molecule regulatory networks and the fundamental trade-off between regulation and enzymatic activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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 ...

Glycolysis‐Derived Lactate Induces ACSL4 Expression and Lactylation to Activate Ferroptosis during Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Glycolysis‐derived lactate activates nucleus pulposus cell ferroptosis via Histon H3K18la‐mediated ACSL4 transcription and ACSL4 lactylation and aggravate intervertebral disc degeneration. Inhibiting glycolysis via gene silencing or chemical intervention reduces the production of lactate and ameliorates ferroptosis activation and nucleus pulposus ...

Pyruvate kinase deficiency and PKLR gene mutations: Insights from molecular dynamics simulation analysis

open access: yesHeliyon
Pyruvate kinase deficiency is a rare hereditary erythrocyte enzyme disease caused by mutations in the pyruvate kinase liver and red blood cell gene. The clinical presentations of pyruvate kinase deficiency are significantly heterogeneous, ranging from ...

New insights on the mechanism of the K(+-) independent activity of crenarchaeota pyruvate kinases.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Eukarya pyruvate kinases have glutamate at position 117 (numbered according to the rabbit muscle enzyme), whereas in Bacteria have either glutamate or lysine and in Archaea have other residues.

CD40 is constitutively expressed on platelets and provides a novel mechanism for platelet activation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
CD40 is a 48-kDa phosphorylated transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the TNF receptor superfamily. CD40 has been demonstrated on a range of cell types, and it has an important role in adaptive immunity and inflammation.

Nuclear‐Localized BCKDK Facilitates Homologous Recombination Repair to Support Breast Cancer Progression and Therapy Resistance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Under DNA damage, tumor cells rely on efficient DNA repair for survival and therapy resistance. This study has demonstrated that BCKDK localizes to breast cancer cell nuclei, where it binds to and phosphorylates RNF8, thereby blocking ubiquitin‐mediated degradation of RAD51 and enhancing HRR. A selective BCKDK inhibitor synergizes with clinical agents,

A Live Cell Imaging‐Compatible Bioreactor for the Interrogation of Cellular Responses to Modulated Flow Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An open‐source, low‐cost 3D perfusion system integrating bioprinted scaffolds and live‐imaging overcomes 2D culture limitations. Modeling the cerebrospinal fluid‐filled subarachnoid space, it reveals flow‐dependent focal adhesion kinase activation in meningothelial cells, demonstrating a powerful platform for studying mechanobiology and creating ...
