Mechanistic studies of DNP and applications of hyperpolarized probes to study renal physiology and metabolism

Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (dDNP) is a powerful technique that enhances the magnetic resonance signal of nuclear spins by several orders of magnitude. DNP relies on the principle of cross-relaxation by electron spins driven out of equilibrium ...

In vivo detection of d-amino acid oxidase with hyperpolarized d-[1-C-13]alanine

Rolf Gruetter, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Alice Radaelli

d-amino acid oxidase (DAO) is a peroxisomal enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of several neutral and basic d-amino acids to their corresponding alpha-keto acids. In most mammalian species studied, high DAO activity is found in the kidney, liv ...

Plasma Membrane-bound G Protein-coupled Bile Acid Receptor Attenuates Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Via the Inhibition of Toll-like Receptor 4 Signaling in Mice

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Xu Wang

The plasma membrane-bound G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) displays varied levels of expression in different tissues. TGR5-induced liver protection has been demonstrated during several liver diseases, except during ischemia/reperfusion injury (I ...

A Water-Bridged H-Bonding Network Contributes to the Catalysis of the SAM-Dependent C-Methyltransferase HcgC

Xile Hu, Lichen Bai, Tao Xu

[Fe]-hydrogenase hosts an iron-guanylylpyridinol (FeGP) cofactor. The FeGP cofactor contains a pyridinol ring substituted with GMP, two methyl groups, and an acylmethyl group. HcgC, an enzyme involved in FeGP biosynthesis, catalyzes methyl transfer from S- ...

LRH-1-dependent programming of mitochondrial glutamine processing drives liver cancer

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Arnaud Comment, Dongryeol Ryu, Xu Wang, Norman Lionel Moullan, Emine Can, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Pan Xu

Various tumors develop addiction to glutamine to support uncontrolled cell proliferation. Here we identify the nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) as a key regulator in the process of hepatic tumorigenesis through the coordination of a noncan ...

Hyperpolarized 13C lactate as a substrate for in vivo metabolic studies in skeletal muscle

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Yuhei Takado

Resting skeletal muscle has a preference for the oxidation of lipids compared to carbohydrates and a shift towards carbohydrate oxidation is observed with increasing exercise. Lactate is not only an end product in skeletal muscle but also an important meta ...

Computational, Structural, and Kinetic Evidence That Vibrio vulnificus FrsA Is Not a Cofactor-Independent Pyruvate Decarboxylase

Ursula Röthlisberger, Elizabeth Claire Brunk

The fermentation-respiration switch (FrsA) protein in Vibrio vulnificus was recently reported to catalyze the cofactor-independent decarboxylation of pyruvate. We now report quantum mechanical/molecular mechenical calculations that examine the energetics o ...

Ablation of the Tumor Suppressor Histidine Triad Nucleotide Binding Protein 1 is Protective Against Hepatic Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Gisèle Ferrand

The identification of cellular pathways capable of limiting ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains a frontier in medicine, and its clinical relevance is urgent. Histidine triad nucleotide binding protein 1 (HINT1) is a tumor suppressor that influences a ...

Manipulating redox and ATP balancing for improved production of succinate in E. coli

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Keng Cher Soh

Redox and energy balance plays a key role in determining microbial fitness. Efforts to redirect bacterial metabolism often involve overexpression and deletion of genes surrounding key central metabolites, such as pyruvate and acetyl-coA. In the case of met ...

Discovery and Analysis of Novel Metabolic Pathways for the Biosynthesis of Industrial Chemicals: 3-Hydroxypropanoate

Vassily Hatzimanikatis

Sustainable microbial production of high-value organic compounds such as 3-hydroxypropanoate (3HP) is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative to organic syntheses that utilize petrochemical feedstocks. We applied the Biochemical Network Integrated ...
