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 ...

Synthesis of Substituted Pyridines from Cascade [1 + 5] Cycloaddition of Isonitriles to

Jieping Zhu

A novel strategy for de novo synthesis of pyridines featuring an unprecedented a-addition of aldehyde and enamide to isonitrile as a key step is described. Under mild conditions, a cascade reaction involving Zn(OTf)(2)-promoted [1 + 5] cycloaddition of iso ...

Metabolic control of adult neural stem cell activity by Fasn-dependent lipogenesis

Matthias Lütolf, Marlen Knobloch

Mechanisms controlling the proliferative activity of neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) have a pivotal role to ensure life-long neurogenesis in the mammalian brain(1). How metabolic programs are coupled with NSPC activity remains unknown. Here we sho ...

LRH-1-dependent glucose sensing determines intermediary metabolism in liver

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Norman Lionel Moullan, Chikage Mataki, Hiroyasu Yamamoto, Taoufiq Harach, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer

Liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1), an established regulator of cholesterol and bile acid homeostasis, has recently emerged as a potential drug target for liver disease. Although LRH-1 activation may protect the liver against diet-induced steatosis and insul ...

Transcriptional regulation of lipid homeostasis in mycobacteria

Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala

Mycolic acids are major components of the cell envelope of mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and play an important role in its architecture, impermeability and interaction with the environment. Synthesis of mycolic acids is carried out by t ...

B12-BIOSYNTHESIS IN THE TETRACHLOROETHENE-RESPIRING OBLIGATE ANAEROBE DESULFITOBACTERIUM

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Aurélie Duret

Tetrachloroethene (PCE) reductive dehalogenases are the key catalysts in the respiratory chain of dehalorespiring microorganisms, where they act as the terminal electron-accepting enzymes in the process. On protein level, reductive dehalogenases have been ...

A comprehensive model of purine uptake by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum: identification of four purine transport activities in intraerythrocytic parasites

Plasmodium falciparum is incapable of de novo purine biosynthesis, and is absolutely dependent on transporters to salvage purines from the environment. Only one low-affinity adenosine transporter has been characterized to date. In the present study we repo ...

Synthesis, structural characterization and applications of hyperbranched polymers based on L-lysine

Markus Scholl

L-lysine is an essential a-amino acid and a necessary building block for all proteins in the body. As an essential amino acid, L-lysine is not synthesized by humans or animals. Industrially produced L-lysine has therefore a big market as food additive, e.g ...
