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 ...

Amoebocytes facilitate efficient carbon and nitrogen assimilation in the Cassiopea -Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Nils Rädecker, Louise Helene Soegaard Jensen, Niclas Heidelberg Lyndby, Sandrine Denise Françoise Bessette

The upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea engages in symbiosis with photosynthetic microalgae that facilitate uptake and recycling of inorganic nutrients. By con- trast to most other symbiotic cnidarians, algal endosymbionts in Cassiopea are not restricted to th ...

Alkynyl Triazenes as Fluoroalkyne Surrogates: Regioselective Access to 4-Fluoro-2-pyridones by a Rh(III)-Catalyzed C–H Activation–Lossen Rearrangement–Wallach Reaction

Kay Severin, Nicolai Cramer, Carl Thomas Bormann, Jin Fay Tan

Fluorinated pyridones are an important scaffold displaying relevant biological activities. Efficient assembly strategies of pyridones are transition metal-catalyzed C–H annulations with alkynes. The inaccessibility and extreme lability of fluoro alkynes re ...

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 ...

Computational studies of industrial hosts for improved production of the 2nd generation of biofuels

Milenko Tokic

In an effort of overcoming the limited availability of fossil energy resources and moving toward a sustainable economy, the focus of the research and development in the area of biofuels has shifted towards developing the 2nd generation of fuels that should ...

Kleptoplastidic benthic foraminifera from aphotic habitats: insights into assimilation of inorganic C, N and S studied with sub-cellular resolution

Anders Meibom, Emmanuelle Geslin, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre

The assimilation of inorganic compounds in foraminiferal metabolism compared to predation or organic matter assimilation is unknown. Here, we investigate possible inorganic-compound assimilation in Nonionellina labradorica, a common kleptoplastidic benthic ...

Dual action of L-Lactate on the activity of NR2B-containing NMDA receptors: from potentiation to neuroprotection

Pierre Magistretti, Pierre Marquet, Igor Allaman, Pascal Jourdain

L-Lactate is a positive modulator of NMDAR-mediated signaling resulting in plasticity gene induction and memory consolidation. However, L-Lactate is also able to protect neurons against excito-toxic NMDAR activity, an indication of a mitigating action of L ...

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 ...

Study of cortical energy metabolism during sensory stimulation-induced brain activity by ¹³C magnetic resonance spectroscopy in vivo

Sarah Catherine Sonnay

Cerebral function is associated with high metabolic activity that is supported by continuous supply of oxygen and glucose from the blood. Coupling between brain energy metabolism and neuronal activity has been studied extensively during the past decades. N ...

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 ...

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 ...

From food to physiology characterization and in vitro digestion of milk products and investigation of postprandial metabolism and inflammation after a high-fat meal intake in a human nutrition intervention study

Flurina Schwander

According to the World Health Organization worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. The World health statistics 2012 report shows that one in six adults is obese, one in ten diabetic and one in three has a raised blood pressure. Overweight and o ...
