Acidosis Activates the Nrf2 Pathway in Renal Proximal Tubule-Derived Cells through a Crosstalk with Renal Fibroblasts

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2023
Crosstalk of renal epithelial cells with interstitial fibroblasts plays an important role in kidney pathophysiology. A previous study showed that crosstalk between renal epithelial cells and renal fibroblasts protects against acidosis-induced damage.

A ‘Split-Gene’ Transketolase From the Hyper-Thermophilic Bacterium Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans: Structure and Biochemical Characterization

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
A novel transketolase has been reconstituted from two separate polypeptide chains encoded by a ‘split-gene’ identified in the genome of the hyperthermophilic bacterium, Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans.

Diphenyl urea derivatives as inhibitors of transketolase: a structure-based virtual screening. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Transketolase is an enzyme involved in a critical step of the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway whose inhibition could lead to new anticancer drugs. Here, we report new human transketolase inhibitors, based on the phenyl urea scaffold,

New Assays for Transketolase

open access: yesBioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1993
Given the importance of transketolase, TK (EC 2.2.1.1) for both pharmacological studies and synthetic purposes, the need for a simple and inexpensive assay is patent. We describe here a simple and inexpensive TK assay using the unphosphorylated ketoses L-erythrulose, 4-deoxy-L-erythrulose, and 4-deoxy-D,L-erythrulose as donor substrates instead of D ...

The human transketolase-like proteins TKTL1 and TKTL2 are bona fide transketolases [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Structural Biology, 2019
Three transketolase genes have been identified in the human genome to date: transketolase (TKT), transketolase-like 1 (TKTL1) and transketolase-like 2 (TKTL2). Altered TKT functionality is strongly implicated in the development of diabetes and various cancers, thus offering possible therapeutic utility.

Discovery of Novel Transketolase Epitopes and the Development of IgG-Based Tuberculosis Serodiagnostics

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
Despite advances in rapid molecular techniques for tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics, there is an unmet need for a point-of-care, nonsputum-based test. Previously, through a T7 phage antigen display platform and immunoscreening, we identified that the serum ...

Protein Markers Related to Non-halal Slaughtering Process of Rat as Mammal Animal’s Model Detected Using Mass Spectrometry Proteome Analysis

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Chemistry, 2022
Meat produced from non-halal slaughter is forbidden for Moslems. The slaughter methods contribute to the physiological response of animals expressed as different proteome profile.

Evidence for a transketolase-mediated metabolic checkpoint governing biotrophic growth in rice cells by the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2014
The blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae threatens global food security through the widespread destruction of cultivated rice. Foliar infection requires a specialized cell called an appressorium that generates turgor to force a thin penetration hypha through ...
