Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is frequently associated with neurobehavioral and cognitive impairments, including psychiatric symptoms, resulting from the absence of full‐length dystrophin, alone or in combination with its shorter isoforms. This study provides new insights into how dystrophin deficiency may interfere with neurophysiological ...

ATP binding to human serine racemase is cooperative and modulated by glycine
The N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors play a key role in excitatory neurotransmission, and control learning, memory and synaptic plasticity. Their activity is modulated by the agonist glutamate and by the co-agonists D-serine and glycine.

The Landscape of Cancer Metabolism as a Therapeutic Target
ABSTRACT Cancer cells reprogram their metabolism during progression to adapt to the tumor microenvironment, which is characterized by distinct differences in nutrient availability, oxygen concentrations, and acidity. This metabolic reprogramming can simultaneously create metabolic vulnerabilities unique to cancer cells, making cancer metabolism a ...

Glial D-serine modulates oligodendrocyte lineage progression under inflammatory conditions
Inflammatory environments may shape oligodendrocyte lineage dynamics beyond classical cytokine signaling, in part through the release of glial neuromodulators.

Inhibitors of mouse serine racemase
Serine racemase (SR) is a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-dependent enzyme responsible for biosynthesis of D-serine, a recognized neurotransmitter acting as a co-activator of N-methyl- D-aspartate (NMDA) type of glutamate receptors in the mammalian central ...

Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality
Organisms preferentially use l‐amino acids (l‐AAs). However, de novo synthesized l‐AAs are in part converted to d‐AAs. The ribosome has a robust system to use l‐AAs for protein synthesis, whereas non‐ribosomal synthesis can also use d‐AAs. Furthermore, some AA residues can be post‐translationally isomerized through enzymatic or spontaneous processes ...
