A computational workflow for the expansion of heterologous biosynthetic pathways to natural product derivatives

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Jasmin Maria Hafner

Plant natural products (PNPs) and their derivatives are important but underexplored sources of pharmaceutical molecules. To access this untapped potential, the reconstitution of heterologous PNP biosynthesis pathways in engineered microbes provides a valua ...

Heat stress destabilizes symbiotic nutrient cycling in corals

Anders Meibom, Nils Rädecker, Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz

Recurrent mass bleaching events are pushing coral reefs worldwide to the brink of ecological collapse. While the symptoms and consequences of this breakdown of the coral–algal symbiosis have been extensively characterized, our understanding of the underlyi ...

redLips: a comprehensive mechanistic model of the lipid metabolic network of yeast

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Sofia Tsouka

Over the last decades, yeast has become a key model organism for the study of lipid biochemistry. Because the regulation of lipids has been closely linked to various physiopathologies, the study of these biomolecules could lead to new diagnostics and treat ...

Mechanism(s) of electron transfer and metabolic changes during iron reduction by Clostridium acetobutylicum

Cornelia List

Microorganisms catalyze many of the redox transformations driving the iron cycle in the geosphere. For instance, iron cycling includes the reduction of solid-phase and soluble ferric iron (Fe(III)) to ferrous iron (Fe(II)). However, in order to reduce soli ...

Analysis of the S. pombe Meiotic Proteome Reveals a Switch from Anabolic to Catabolic Processes and Extensive Post-transcriptional Regulation

Viesturs Simanis, Marc Moniatte, Romain Hamelin, Florence Armand, Andrea Krapp, Lucien Fabrice Krapp, Diego Chiappe

Meiotic progression in S. pombe is regulated by stage-specific gene expression and translation, changes in RNA stability, expression of anti-sense transcripts, and targeted proteolysis of regulatory proteins. We have used SILAC labeling to examine the rela ...

Mechanistic insights into AMP-activated protein kinase-dependent gene expression

Caterina Collodet

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a fundamental enzyme that controls energy homeostasis, through orchestrating the cellular response to a reduction in energy availability. Under conditions of cellular energy stress AMPK senses the decrease in ATP leve ...

Transforming Growth Factor beta/Activin signaling in neurons increases susceptibility to starvation

Bruno Lemaitre, Xiaoxue Li, Wen Bin Chng

Animals rely on complex signaling network to mobilize its energy stores during starvation. We have previously shown that the sugar-responsive TGF beta/Activin pathway, activated through the TGF beta ligand Dawdle, plays a central role in shaping the post-p ...

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 ...

Sodium Signaling and Astrocyte Energy Metabolism

Pierre Magistretti

The Na+ gradient across the plasma membrane is constantly exploited by astrocytes as a secondary energy source to regulate the intracellular and extracellular milieu, and discard waste products. One of the most prominent roles of astrocytes in the brain is ...

Defining the nitrogen regulated transcriptome of Mycobacterium smegmatis using continuous culture

Andrej Benjak

Background: Nitrogen is essential for microbial growth and its importance is demonstrated by the complex regulatory systems used to control the transport, assimilation and metabolism of nitrogen. Recent studies are beginning to shed light on how mycobacter ...

GLUT1 and GLUT3 in non-small cell lung cancer

Mark Jonathan Masin

While altered metabolism is a well-established tumor cell trait, the specifics of metabolic rewiring during cancer development and progression are yet to be fully understood. The Warburg effect, or aerobic glycolysis, has been described in a wide array of ...

Reaction Mechanism and Catalytic Fingerprint of Allantoin Racemase

Matteo Dal Peraro, Marco Stenta, Matteo Thomas Degiacomi, Thomas Lemmin, Christophe Bovigny

The stereospecific oxidative decomposition of urate into allantoin is the core of purine catabolism in many organisms. The spontaneous decomposition of upstream intermediates and the nonenzymatic racemization of allantoin lead to an accumulation of (R)-all ...

Adaptive Response of Group B Streptococcus to High Glucose Conditions: New Insights on the CovRS Regulation Network

Isabella Santi

Although the contribution of carbohydrate catabolism to bacterial colonization and infection is well recognized, the transcriptional changes during these processes are still unknown. In this study, we have performed comparative global gene expression analy ...

Biothermodynamics of live cells: a tool for biotechnology and biochemical engineering

Urs von Stockar

The aim of this contribution is to review the application of thermodynamics to live cultures of microbial and other cells and to explore to what extent this may be put to practical use. A major focus is on energy dissipation effects in industrially relevan ...
