Under phosphate deprivation, higher plants change their lipid composition and recycle phosphate from phospholipids. A phospholipase D, PLDzeta2, is involved in this recycling and in other cellular functions related to plant development. We investigated the localization of Arabidopsis PLDzeta2 by cell fractionation and in vivo GFP confocal imaging. AtPLDzeta2 localizes to the tonoplast and the Nter regulatory domain is sufficient for its sorting. Under phosphate deprivation, AtPLDzeta2 remains located in the tonoplast but its distribution is uneven. We observed PLDzeta2-enriched tonoplast domains preferentially positioned close to mitochondria and beside chloroplasts. In absence of PLDzeta2, membrane developments were visualized inside vacuoles.

Ticks are hematophagous ectoparasites that transmit pathogens and inflict significant economic losses on the cattle industry. Remarkably, they can survive extended periods of starvation in the absence of a host. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the metabolic adaptations that enable the tick to endure starvation using the BME26 cell line as a model system.

Plants known as obligate aerobes developed different mechanisms to overcome the damage incurred under oxygen limitation. One of the survival strategies to have commonly appeared in hydrophytic plants is the escape strategy, which accelerates plant axial organs' growth in order to escape hypoxic conditions as soon as possible. The present study aimed to distinguish the alterations in coleoptile elongation, viability and metabolic profiles in coleoptiles of slow- and fast-growing rice varieties.

However, its function has remained elusive in insects, which have no need for G6Pase in sugar homeostasis since they convert glucose-6-phosphate to trehalose, their main circulating sugar, via trehalose phosphate synthase (TPS1). In this study we identify an unexpected and essential requirement for G6Pase in male fertility, specifically to produce motile sperm.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in exacerbating brain damage caused by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) after a stroke.
- Researchers used various methods, including gene analysis and protein studies, to show that G6PD levels increase after ischemic events and that reducing G6PD leads to worsened brain damage and cell survival in models of ischemia.
- The findings suggest a significant link between G6PD and mitophagy, indicating that manipulating G6PD levels could help develop new treatments for brain damage resulting from strokes.

Background: Targeting glucose uptake by glucose transporter (GLUT) inhibitors is a therapeutic opportunity, but efforts on GLUT inhibitors have not been successful in the clinic and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We aim to identify the key metabolic changes responsible for cancer cell survival from glucose limitation and elucidate its mechanism.
Methods: The level of phosphorylated YAP was analyzed with Western blotting and Phos-tag immunoblotting.
