MetabolomicsAspartate aminotransferase Rv3722c governs aspartate-dependent nitrogen metabolism in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Gene rv3722c of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is essential for in vitro growth, and encodes a putative pyridoxal phosphate-binding protein of unknown function. Here we use metabolomic, genetic and structural approaches to show that Rv3722c is the primary aspartate aminotransferase of M. tuberculosis...

MetabolomicsAspSnFR: A Genetically-Encoded Biosensor for Real-Time Monitoring of Aspartate in Live Cells

Aspartate is crucial for nucleotide synthesis, ammonia detoxification and maintaining redox balance via the malate-aspartate-shuttle (MAS). To disentangle these multiple roles of aspartate metabolism, tools are required that measure aspartate concentrations in real time and in live cells. We intr...

MetabolomicsArginine starvation kills tumor cells through aspartate exhaustion and mitochondrial dysfunction
Defective arginine synthesis, due to the silencing of argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1), is a common metabolic vulnerability in cancer, known as arginine auxotrophy. Understanding how arginine depletion kills arginine-auxotrophic cancer cells will facilitate the development of anti-cancer therapeu...

MetabolomicsAspartate potentiates tobramycin against multidrug-resistant Edwardsiella tarda through enhancing proton motive force and membrane permeability

The antibiotic susceptibility/resistance of bacteria is influenced by their metabolic states. In tobramycin-resistant Edwardsiella tarda (LTB4-RToB), a dynamic metabolic state is observed, characterized by a general reduction in most metabolites as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) incre...

MetabolomicsHierarchical Carbon Metabolism in Iron-Deficient Bacteria Favors Iron-Scavenging Strategy

High-affinity iron (Fe) scavenging compounds, or siderophores, are widely employed by soil bacteria to survive scarcity in bioavailable Fe. Siderophore biosynthesis relies on cellular carbon metabolism, despite reported decrease in both carbon uptake and Fe-containing metabolic proteins in Fe-def...

ProteomicsAssessing effect of iron deficiency (+/- Aspartate) on CD8+ T cell metabolism
Iron is an irreplaceable co-factor for metabolism. Iron deficiency affects >1 billion people and decreased iron availability impairs immunity. Nevertheless, how iron deprivation impacts immune cell function remains poorly characterised. We interrogated how physiologically low iron availability affe...

MetabolomicsEndothelial SLC25A13 links glutamine metabolism to angiogenesis
Attention to exploring endothelial cell (EC) metabolism is increasing, but a holistic perspective on the metabolic adaptations of ECs during angiogenic proliferation, is still missing. Here, we use a previously in-house developed computational EC-adapted genome scale metabolic model that recapitulat...

MetabolomicsFruit setting rewires central metabolism via gibberellin cascades
Fruit set is the process whereby ovaries develop into fruits after pollination and fertilization. The process is induced by the phytohormone gibberellin (GA) in tomatoes, as determined by the constitutive GA response mutant procera However, the role of GA on the metabolic behavior in fruit-setting o...

MetabolomicsModulation of liver metabolism and gut microbiota by Alhagi-honey alleviated heat stress-induced liver damage

Alhagi-honey (AH) is a well-established traditional ethnic medicine with advantageous effects against diarrhea and headaches. We aim to explore the preventive effect of AH on liver damage induced by heat stress (HS) and its underlying mechanism. HS models were established by thermostat, and mice ...

MetabolomicsOptimised LC-MS Metabolomic Profiling Reveals Emergent Changes to Monocyte Metabolism in Response to Lipopolysaccharide
Immunometabolism examines the links between immune cell function and metabolism. Dysregulation of immune cell metabolism is now an established feature of innate immune cell activation. Advances in liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technologies have allowed discovery of unique insights ...
