Benzimidazole derivative small-molecule 991 enhances AMPK activity and glucose uptake induced by AICAR or contraction in skeletal muscle

Caterina Collodet

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays diverse roles and coordinates complex metabolic pathways for maintenance of energy homeostasis. This could be explained by the fact that AMPK exists as multiple heterotrimer complexes comprising a catalytic alpha-s ...

AMP-activated protein kinase : strategies for activation and downstream target identification

Serge Thanh Son Ducommun

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an evolutionally conserved key sensor of cellular energy status. Under conditions of cellular energy stress, AMPK is activated and will switch off anabolic processes that consume ATP, while activating catabolic proces ...

L-Lactate protects neurons against excitotoxicity: implication of an ATP-mediated signaling cascade

Pierre Magistretti, Pierre Marquet, Igor Allaman, Pascal Jourdain

Converging experimental data indicate a neuroprotective action of L-Lactate. Using Digital Holographic Microscopy, we observe that transient application of glutamate (100 μM; 2 min) elicits a NMDA-dependent death in 65% of mouse cortical neurons in culture ...

Model-Driven Understanding of Palmitoylation Dynamics: Regulated Acylation of the Endoplasmic Reticulum Chaperone Calnexin

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Patrick Alain Sandoz, Georgios Savoglidis, Tiziano Dallavilla

Cellular functions are largely regulated by reversible post-translational modifications of proteins which act as switches. Amongst these, S-palmitoylation is unique in that it confers hydrophobicity. Due to technical difficulties, the understanding of this ...

Micrococcin P1-A bactericidal thiopeptide active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak, Ruben Hartkoorn

The lack of proper treatment for serious infectious diseases due to the emergence of multidrug resistance reinforces the need for the discovery of novel antibiotics. This is particularly true for tuberculosis (TB) for which 3.7% of new cases and 20% of pre ...

Unexpected Off-Targets and Paradoxical Pathway Activation by Kinase Inhibitors

Oliver Hantschel

Protein kinase inhibitors are an increasingly important class of targeted anticancer therapeutics. More than two dozen new drugs of this class have entered routine clinical use over the past decade. This review article focuses on how the development of met ...

Phosphorylation of the nuclear receptor co-repressor 1 by protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) switches its co-repressor targets in the liver

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Dongryeol Ryu, Xu Wang, Adriano Maida

The nuclear receptor corepressor 1 (NCoR1) is a transcriptional co-regulator that has wide-ranging effects on gene expression patterns. In the liver, NCoR1 represses lipid synthesis in the fasting state, whereas it inhibits the activation of PPARα upon fee ...
