Carbamoyl-phosphate synthase gene expression is found to be primarily regulated by conditions that enhance hepatic glucocorticosteroid levels (hormone injections) and cyclic AMP levels (induction of diabetes). After birth, changes in the level of carbamoyl-phosphate synthase protein follow changes in the level of carbamoylphosphate synthase mRNA, suggesting a pretranslational control mechanism. In fetal rats, carbamoyl-phosphate synthase gene expression is regulated by the same factors as in adults. However, both the level to which carbamoyl-phosphate synthase mRNA can accumulate and the extent to which mRNA can be translated appear to be limited, indicating control mechanisms at the pretranslational and translational level. Finally, in the immediate postnatal period, a transient but pronounced decrease in the rate of degradation of carbamoyl-phosphate synthase protein may play a role in the accumulation of the enzyme.

Objective: To explore the results of four types of Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) in newborns from the Xuzhou region, assess the efficacy of newborn screening by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), and analyze their genetic characteristics.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed using tandem mass spectrometry to screen for inherited metabolic disorders in 691 712 newborns at the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Xuzhou from November 2015 to December 2023. Ten children (cases 1-10) were diagnosed with Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD), Carbamoylphosphate synthase 1 deficiency (CPS1D), Arginase deficiency (ARGD), and Argininosuccinate synthase deficiency (ASSD) based on MS/MS and genetic testing.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is stratified into four consensus molecular subtypes (CMS1-4). CMS3 represents the metabolic subtype, but its wiring remains largely undefined. To identify the underlying tumorigenesis of CMS3, organoids derived from 16 genetically engineered mouse models are analyzed.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can transfer inorganic nitrogen (N) from the soil to host plants to cope with drought stress, with arginine synthesis and NH4+ transport being pivotal processes. However, the regulatory mechanism underlying these processes remains unclear. Here, we found that drought stress upregulated expression of genes involved in the N transfer pathway and putrescine and glutathione synthesis in the mycorrhizal structures of Rhizophagus irregularis within alfalfa (Medicago sativa) roots, i.

CAD, the multi-enzymatic protein essential for initiating the de novo biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides, forms large hexamers whose structure and function are not fully understood. Defects in CAD cause a severe neurometabolic disorder that is challenging to diagnose. We developed a cellular functional assay to identify defective CAD variants, and in this study, we characterized five pathogenic missense mutations in CAD's dihydroorotase (DHO) and aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATC) domains.
