Nicotinamide riboside kinases display redundancy in mediating nicotinamide mononucleotide and nicotinamide riboside metabolism in skeletal muscle cells

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Joanna Ratajczak

Objective: Augmenting nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) availability may protect skeletal muscle from age-related metabolic decline. Dietary supplementation of NAD(+) precursors nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide riboside (NR) appe ...

CDK4 Phosphorylates AMPK alpha 2 to Inhibit Its Activity and Repress Fatty Acid Oxidation

Anita Nasrallah, Caterina Collodet, Judit Castillo Armengol

The roles of CDK4 in the cell cycle have been extensively studied, but less is known about the mechanisms underlying the metabolic regulation by CDK4. Here, we report that CDK4 promotes anaerobic glycolysis and represses fatty acid oxidation in mouse embry ...

A kinetic model of the lipid network in yeast

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Georgios Savoglidis, Sofia Tsouka

Lipids play a very important role in cell structure and function, as well as in the physiopathology of many diseases. Maintenance of the lipid profiles should be tightly regulated as it is very important for preserving membrane permeability, cell integrity ...

Functional analysis of Bicc1 and novel interacting proteins in renal tubule cell metabolism and polycystic kidneys

Lucía Carolina Leal Esteban

Genetic disorders known as ciliopathies develop polycystic kidneys, including autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney diseases (ADPKD and ARPKD). Several signaling pathways including the cAMP/PKA pathway are implicated in driving cyst ...

Bioenergetics-based modeling of Plasmodium falciparum metabolism reveals its essential genes, nutritional requirements, and thermodynamic bottlenecks

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Meriç Ataman, Stepan Tymoshenko, Dominique Soldati-Favre

Novel antimalarial therapies are urgently needed for the fight against drug-resistant para- sites. The metabolism of malaria parasites in infected cells is an attractive source of drug targets but is rather complex. Computational methods can handle this co ...

Understanding reprogramming of cancer cell metabolism using metabolic modeling

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Maria Masid Barcon, Joana Raquel Pinto Vieira

Cancer cells have been observed to undergo a metabolic reprogramming in which glycolytic fluxes are upregulated whereas oxidative phosphorylation is downregulated. This metabolic phenotype is known as theWarburg effect and it is observed even under high ox ...
