Ru(II)-Arene Complexes of Curcumin and Bisdesmethoxycurcumin Metabolites

Paul Joseph Dyson, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Mouna Hadiji

Curcuminoids and their complexes continue to attract attention in medicinal chemistry, but little attention has been given to their metabolic derivatives. Here, the first examples of (arene)Ru(II) complexes with curcuminoid metabolites, tetrahydrocurcumin ...

Mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction disrupts intracellular cholesterol homeostasis

Christopher Tadhg James Wall

Mitochondrial diseases are rare and severe conditions with debilitating symptoms. Biochemical defects in mitochondria however are common. The difference between these two frequencies is suspected to lie in the capability of the cells to adapt to the homeos ...

MondoA regulates gene expression in cholesterol biosynthesis-associated pathways required for zebrafish epiboly

Cédric Gobet, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger, Meltem Weger

The glucose-sensing Mondo pathway regulates expression of metabolic genes in mammals. Here, we characterized its function in the zebrafish and revealed an unexpected role of this pathway in vertebrate embryonic development. We showed that knockdown of mond ...

Sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 couples mechanical cues and lipid metabolism

Giovanni Sorrentino

Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are a family of transcription factors that regulate lipid biosynthesis and adipogenesis by controlling the expression of several enzymes required for cholesterol, fatty acid, triacylglycerol and phospholi ...

Visualizing sphingolipid biosynthesis in cells

Biosynthetic pathways play a fundamental role in the building and operation of the cell by synthesizing the constituents by which the cell is constructed, and by producing signalling intermediates that play a key role in cell regulation. While a lot is kno ...

Kleptoplastidic benthic foraminifera from aphotic habitats: Assimilation (or not) of inorganic C, N, and S studied at sub-cellular resolution

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

The assimilation of inorganic compounds and their role in the foraminiferal metabolism compared to predation or organic matter assimilation is unknown. Here we investigate these processes with a study of the species Nonionellina labradorica (Dawson, 1860), ...

Exploring Biosynthetic Pathways for the Production of Five Methyl Ethyl Ketone Precursors

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Meriç Ataman, Noushin Hadadi, Milenko Tokic

Limited reserves of oil and natural gas and the establishment of new environmental policies sparked off intensive research towards sustainable production of the 2nd generation of biofuels, with Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) being one promising fuel candidate. ...

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 ...

Proteome-Wide Effect of 17-beta-Estradiol and Lipoxin A(4) in an Endometriotic Epithelial Cell Line

Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. This chronic, gynecological inflammatory disease results in a decreased quality of life for patients, with the main symptoms including chronic pelvic pain and infertility. The steroid ho ...

Do crosstalks with primary and secondary metabolism limit or stimulate the detoxification of xenobiotics?

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

Because plants are static and live in a competitive and sometimes hostile environment, they have evolved efficient mechanisms that protect them from abiotic and biotic stresses. These mechanisms include detoxification and sequestration of xenobiotic compou ...
