Asparagine promotes cancer cell proliferation through use as an amino acid exchange factor. [PDF]

, 2016
Cellular amino acid uptake is critical for mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) activation and cell proliferation. However, the regulation of amino acid uptake is not well-understood.

Characterization of the cGMP-dependent protein kinase SmcGK1 of Schistosoma mansoni

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2011
Schistosomes are trematode parasites and of worldwide medical importance for humans and animals. Growth and development of these parasites require a specific host environment, but also permanent communication processes between the two genders ...

One-carbon metabolism in cancer [PDF]

, 2017
Cells require one-carbon units for nucleotide synthesis, methylation and reductive metabolism, and these pathways support the high proliferative rate of cancer cells.

Iterative focused screening with biological fingerprints identifies selective Asc-1 inhibitors distinct from traditional high throughput screening [PDF]

, 2017
N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) mediate glutamatergic signaling that is critical to cognitive processes in the central nervous system, and NMDAR hypofunction is thought to contribute to cognitive impairment observed in both schizophrenia and ...

Serine Resolvases [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2015
ABSTRACT Serine resolvases are an interesting group of site-specific recombinases that, in their native contexts, resolve large fused replicons into smaller separated ones. Some resolvases are encoded by replicative transposons and resolve the transposition product, in which the donor and recipient molecules are fused, into separate replicons.

The serine transporter SdaC prevents cell lysis upon glucose depletion in Escherichia coli

MicrobiologyOpen, 2020
The amino acid serine plays diverse metabolic roles, yet bacteria actively degrade exogenously provided serine via deamination to pyruvate. Serine deamination is thought to be a detoxification mechanism due to the ability of serine to inhibit several ...

Controlled rotation mechanism of DNA strand exchange by the Hin serine recombinase. [PDF]

, 2016
DNA strand exchange by serine recombinases has been proposed to occur by a large-scale rotation of halves of the recombinase tetramer. Here we provide the first direct physical evidence for the subunit rotation mechanism for the Hin serine invertase ...

Biosynthesis of food constituents: Amino acids: 2. The alanine-valine-leucine, serine-cysteine-glycine, and aromatic and heterocyclic amino acids groups - a review

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2006
This review article gives a survey of principal pathways that lead to the biosynthesis of the proteinogenic amino acids of the alanine-valine-leucine group starting with pyruvic acid from the glycolytic pathway and serine-cysteine-glycine group starting ...

Making serine integrases work for us [PDF]

, 2017
DNA site-specific recombinases are enzymes (often associated with mobile DNA elements) that catalyse breaking and rejoining of DNA strands at specific points, thereby bringing about precise genetic rearrangements.
