Thiamine Allocation and Deficiency Status Throughout the Life Cycle of Cod. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Throughout the life cycle of fish, the allocation of micronutrients like thiamine (vitamin B1) shifts. Especially reproduction appears to be taxing, as any excess thiamine gets allocated to reproductive tissues while somatic tissues are kept at functionally sufficient concentrations.

Interrogating the Role of the Two Distinct Fructose-Bisphosphate Aldolases of Bacillus methanolicus by Site-Directed Mutagenesis of Key Amino Acids and Gene Repression by CRISPR Interference

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The Gram-positive Bacillus methanolicus shows plasmid-dependent methylotrophy. This facultative ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) cycle methylotroph possesses two fructose bisphosphate aldolases (FBA) with distinct kinetic properties.

A δ38 deletion variant of human transketolase as a model of transketolase-like protein 1 exhibits no enzymatic activity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Besides transketolase (TKT), a thiamin-dependent enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway, the human genome encodes for two closely related transketolase-like proteins, which share a high sequence identity with TKT.

Novel transketolase inhibitor oroxylin A suppresses the non‐oxidative pentose phosphate pathway and hepatocellular carcinoma tumour growth in mice and patient‐derived organoids

Clinical and Translational Medicine, 2022
Background Transketolase (TKT), a key rate‐limiting enzyme in the non‐oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), provides more than 85% of the ribose required for de novo nucleotide biosynthesis and promotes the development of ...

Inhibition of Transketolase Improves the Prognosis of Colorectal Cancer

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a heavy health burden worldwide. Transketolase (TKT) is a crucial enzyme in the non-oxidative phase of the Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP), and is up-regulated in multiple cancer types.

Overexpression of transketolase-like gene 1 is associated with cell proliferation in uterine cervix cancer

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2009
Background Tumor cells need large energy and nucleic acids to proliferate and grow. For most of their energy needs, cancer cells depend more on glycolysis. For most of their nucleic acids needs, cancer cells depend more on the nonoxidative pathway of the
