We have examined the effects of glucose and lactate, the products of the gluconeogenic-glycolytic pathways, on phosphofructokinase flux during gluconeogenesis in hepatocytes from fasted rats. With dihydroxyacetone as substrate, phosphofructokinase flux is rather active. Addition of lactate, at concentrations of 5-10 mM, causes a lowering of this flux to the levels found when lactate alone is the substrate. Inhibitor studies suggest that a mitochondrially formed metabolite of lactate is the likely effector involved. Addition of glucose (10mM or greater) to dihydroxyacetone causes an increase in phosphofructokinase flux. Only small effects are seen unless the cells are preincubated with glucose, in which case an estimated 2-3-fold increase in phosphofructokinase flux occurs.

Lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) is a primary solid component of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) with various promising health effects for infants. LNnT production by GRAS (generally recognized as safe) microorganisms has attracted considerable attention. However, few studies have emphasized Pichia Pastoris as a cell factory for LNnT's production.

Background And Aim: We recently identified protein kinase N1 (PKN1) as a master regulator of brain development. However, its function in the adult brain has not been clearly established. In this study, we assessed the cerebral energetic phenotype of wildtype (WT) and global Pkn1 knockout (Pkn1) animals under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), stemming from varied nephric impairments, manifests a steadily escalating global incidence. As a progressive pathological condition, CKD is typified by an intensification in the gravity of renal interstitium fibrotic transformations. Nonetheless, the intrinsic mechanisms underpinning nephric fibrosis remain elusive.

Background: Seven-carbon sugars, which rarely exist in nature, are the key constitutional unit of septacidin and hygromycin B in bacteria. These sugars exhibit a potential therapeutic effect for hypoglycaemia and cancer and serve as building blocks for the synthesis of C-glycosides and novel antibiotics. However, chemical and enzymatic approaches for the synthesis of seven-carbon sugars have faced challenges, such as complex reaction steps, low overall yields and high-cost feedstock, limiting their industrial-scale production.

Acetivibrio thermocellus (formerly Clostridium thermocellum) is a potential platform for lignocellulosic ethanol production. Its industrial application is hampered by low product titres, resulting from a low thermodynamic driving force of its central metabolism. It possesses both a functional ATP- and a functional PP-dependent 6-phosphofructokinase (PP-Pfk), of which only the latter is held responsible for the low driving force.
