The yeast PCK1 gene coding for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) was isolated by functional complementation of pck1 strains from S. cerevisiae. Only one copy of the gene was found per haploid yeast genome. An RNA of about 2 kb which hybridized with a DNA probe internal to the PCK1 gene was found only in cells growing in non-fermentable carbon sources. Yeast strains carrying multiple copies of the PCK1 gene showed normal catabolite repression of PEPCK except those carrying the shortest insertion complementing the mutation (2.2 kb) that presented an altered kinetics of derepression. Catabolite inactivation was decreased in strains transformed with multicopy plasmids carrying the PCK1 gene.

Background: Exposure to air pollution is associated with worldwide morbidity and mortality. Diesel exhaust (DE) emissions are important contributors which induce vascular inflammation and metabolic disturbances by unknown mechanisms. We aimed to determine molecular pathways activated by DE in the liver that could be responsible for its cardiometabolic toxicity.

Energy supply is crucial for testicular development. Nevertheless, the specific alterations in the energy metabolic pathways that affect testicular development have not been extensively investigated. This study aimed to investigate the variations in metabolites and alterations in energy metabolic pathways in the testes of Hu sheep with different developmental status at 6 months of age.

Energy metabolism is a fundamental aspect of the aggressiveness and invasiveness of breast cancer (BC), the neoplasm that most affects women worldwide. Nonetheless, the impact of genetic somatic mutations on glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) genes in BC remains unclear. To fill these gaps, the mutational profiles of 205 screened genes related to glycolysis and OXPHOS in 968 individuals with BC from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project were performed.

Article Synopsis
- Residual feed intake (RFI) is identified as a crucial measure of feed efficiency in poultry, particularly in a study involving 800 slow-growing ducks.
- Selection of low RFI (LRFI) ducks led to reduced feed consumption and improved feed efficiency without negative impacts on growth, slaughter rates, or meat quality.
- Gene expression analysis revealed significant differences between high RFI (HRFI) and LRFI ducks, highlighting pathways related to fat and energy metabolism, with the gene PRKAG3 emerging as a key factor in RFI variations.

Recently, changes in metabolites and metabolism-related enzymes related to tumor cell proliferation, metastasis, drug resistance, and immunosuppression have become a research hotspot, and researchers have attempted to determine the clinical correlation between specific molecular lesions and metabolic phenotypes. Convincing evidence shows that metabolic reprogramming is closely related to the proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and poor prognosis of malignant tumors. Therefore, targeting metabolic reprogramming is a new direction for cancer treatment.
