Article Abstract

A 2.3-kb PstI- ClaI chromosomal DNA segment, carrying the complete coding region of the glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) structural gene from Escherichia coli K-12, has been sequenced. The complete amino acid sequence (447 residues) of the GDH monomer has been deduced, and comparisons are made with reported amino acid sequences of GDH from other organisms.

Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive, spore-forming anaerobic enteropathogen responsible for a wide spectrum of clinical diseases ranging from mild diarrhoea to pseudomembranous colitis. It is the first cause of healthcare-associated diarrhoeas, but community-associated Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI) are increasingly reported in patients without the common risk factors (age > 65 years, previous antibiotic treatment). The main C.

Glutamic-pyruvic transaminase 1 deficiency-mediated metabolic reprogramming facilitates colorectal adenoma-carcinoma progression.

The tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC) often follows the normal-adenoma-carcinoma (N-A-C) sequence. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying colorectal adenoma carcinogenesis remain largely unknown. Here, we analyzed transcriptomic profile changes in normal, advanced adenoma, and carcinoma tissues from patients with CRC, revealing that glutamic-pyruvic transaminase 1 () in colorectal tissues was down-regulated during the N-A-C process and correlated with poor CRC prognosis.

The de novo synthesis of GABA and its gene regulatory function control hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis.

Electronic address:

The neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been thought to be involved in the development of some types of cancer. Yet, the de novo synthesis of GABA and how it functions in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. Here, we report that SLC6A12 acts as a transporter of GABA, and that aldehyde dehydrogenase 9 family member A1 (ALDH9A1), not glutamate decarboxylase 1 (GAD1), generates GABA in human HCC.

Bio-inspired Catalyst-Modified Photocathode for Bias-Free Photoelectrochemical NADH Regeneration.

State Key Laboratory of Fine Chemicals, Frontier Science Center for Smart Materials, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, Liaoning, 116024, China.

Cofactors such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and its phosphorylated form (NADPH) play a crucial role in natural enzyme-catalyzed reactions for the synthesis of chemicals. However, the stoichiometric supply of NADH for artificial synthetic processes is uneconomical. Here, inspired by the process of cofactor NADPH regeneration in photosystem I (PSI), catalyst-modified photocathodes are constructed on the surface of polythiophene-based semiconductors (PTTH) via self-assembly for photoelectrochemical catalytic NADH regeneration.

Article Synopsis
  • Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major cause of kidney failure, largely due to damage in podocytes, which are essential for kidney function.
  • Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key player in protecting cells from oxidative stress, making it a promising target for DKD therapies.
  • The study found that DDO-1039, a new Nrf2 activator, improved kidney health in diabetic mice by reducing podocyte injury, lowering blood sugar levels, and decreasing inflammation, endorsing its potential as a treatment for DKD.
