Resistance‐exercise‐induced stress intervenes in TGF‐β signaling by cooperatively downregulating nuclear αB‐crystallin and SMAD4 in human skeletal muscle fibers

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Alpha‐crystallin B chain (CRYAB) has been reported to stabilize mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4 (SMAD4) in transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) signaling, enabling target gene transcription. We show nuclear CRYAB–SMAD4 interaction for the first time in human skeletal muscle fibers and its regulation by exercise.

The site of synthesis of the iron-sulfur subunits of the flavoprotein and iron-protein fractions of human NADH dehydrogenase [PDF]

, 1988
The site of synthesis of the iron-sulfur subunits of the flavoprotein and iron-protein fractions of the human respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase has been investigated to test the possibility that any of them is synthesized in mitochondria.

Redundant and Flexible Electron Transfer Pathways Underlie MsrPQ‐Mediated Repair of Oxidized Periplasmic Proteins

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
This study investigates in vivo the role of the flavin reductase Fre as an electron supplier to the periplasmic methionine sulfoxide reductase system MsrPQ. ABSTRACT The MsrPQ system is essential for the repair of oxidized methionine residues in periplasmic proteins, ensuring bacterial resistance to oxidative stress and envelope integrity.

Inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis in hypercholesterolemia: Is it the right choice? [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2013
Cholesterol biosynthesis is a complex pathway comprising more than 20 biochemical reactions. Although the final product created in the pathway is cholesterol, the intermediate products, such as ubiquinone and dolichol, also provide vital metabolic ...

Comparative proteomics analysis of root and nodule mitochondria of soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Legumes perform symbiotic nitrogen fixation through rhizobial bacteroids housed in specialised root nodules. The biochemical process is energy‐intensive and consumes a huge carbon source to generate sufficient reducing power. To maintain the symbiosis, malate is supplied by legume nodules to bacteroids as their major carbon and energy source ...

Impact of niacin combined with ubiquinone on inhibition of lipoprotein lipase as a mechanism of anti-obesity and antiatherogenic agents in rats fed on high-fat diet

Journal of Biological Research
Niacin is one of the B-complex vitamins that play an important role in metabolic pathways, while ubiquinone (Coenz-Q) is a component of the electron transport chain required for energy production.

A quantum mechanical analysis of the light-harvesting complex 2 from purple photosynthetic bacteria. Insights into the electrostatic effects of transmembrane helices

, 2010
We perform a quantum mechanical study of the peptides that are part of the LH2 complex from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila, a non-sulfur purple bacteria that has the ability of producing chemical energy from photosynthesis.

Lysine Biosynthesis Defines a Metabolic Checkpoint for Gibberellin‐Mediated Growth in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lysine represents a metabolic hub linking mitochondrial energy status with amino acid catabolism, yet its role in coordinating plant growth and development remains poorly characterised. The dapat mutant, which is deficient in L,L‐diaminopimelate aminotransferase (DAPAT), exhibits severe growth inhibition associated with broad metabolic ...
