A novel method dissecting the regulation of a cellular function into direct metabolic regulation and hierarchical (e.g., gene-expression) regulation is applied to yeast starved for nitrogen or carbon. Upon nitrogen starvation glucose influx is down-regulated hierarchically. Upon carbon starvation it is down-regulated both metabolically and hierarchically. The method is expounded in terms of its implications for diverse types of regulation. It is also fine-tuned for cases where isoenzymes catalyze the flux through a single metabolic step.

Arid4a Suppresses Breast Tumor Metastasis by Enhancing MTSS1 Expression via mRNA Stability.

Background: Tumor metastasis is one of the main causes of death in cancer patients; however, the mechanism controlling metastasis is unclear. The posttranscriptional regulation of metastasis-related genes mediated by AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 4A (Arid4a), an RNA-binding protein (RBP), has not been elucidated.
Methods: Bioinformatic analysis, qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and immunoblotting were employed to determine the expression of Arid4a in breast tumor tissues and its association with the survival of cancer patients.

Synaptic homeostasis of the principal neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA is tightly regulated by an intricate metabolic coupling between neurons and astrocytes known as the glutamate/GABA-glutamine cycle. In this cycle, astrocytes take up glutamate and GABA from the synapse and convert these neurotransmitters into glutamine. Astrocytic glutamine is subsequently transferred to neurons, serving as the principal precursor for neuronal glutamate and GABA synthesis.

Sugar accumulation during fruit ripening is an essential physiological change that influences fruit quality. While NAC transcription factors are recognized for their role in modulating strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) fruit ripening, their specific contributions to sugar accumulation have remained largely unexplored. This study identified FvNAC073, a NAC transcription factor, as a key regulator that not only exhibits a gradual increase in gene expression during fruit ripening but also enhances the accumulation of sucrose.

Methods: Data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics was employed to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between GC and adjacent non-tumor tissues.
Background: The essential trace element iron, which can occur in various oxidation states, is required for many biochemical reactions and processes in the human body.
Methods: This review summarizes the current knowledge about the physiology of iron metabolism.
Results: The physiological functions comprise oxygen transport in the blood, electron transport processes, DNA synthesis and gene regulation, the regulation of cell growth and differentiation, and the energy production in mitochondria.
