Alas2 gene encodes the rate-limiting enzyme in heme biosynthesis. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ablation of two Alas2 intronic cis-elements strongly reduced GATA-1-induced Alas2 transcription, heme biosynthesis, and GATA-1 regulation of other vital constituents of the erythroid cell transcriptome. Bypassing ...

Colorectal cancer risk is associated with diets high in red meat. Heme, the pigment of red meat, induces cytotoxicity of colonic contents and elicits epithelial damage and compensatory hyperproliferation, leading to hyperplasia. Here we explore the possible causal role of the gut microbiota in heme-...

A putative lipopeptide biosynthetic gene cluster is conserved in many species of Actinobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium marinum, but the specific function of the encoding proteins has been elusive. Using both in vivo heterologous reconstitution and in vitro biochemica...

Colon cancer is a major cause of cancer deaths in Western countries and is associated with diets high in red meat. Heme, the iron-porphyrin pigment of red meat, induces cytotoxicity of gut contents which injures surface cells leading to compensatory hyperproliferation of crypt cells. This hyperproli...

Iridoids are non-canonical monoterpenoids produced by both insects and plants. An example is the cat attracting and insect repelling volatile iridoid nepetalactone, produced by Nepeta sp. (catmint) and aphids. Recently, both nepetalactone biosynthetic pathways were elucidated, showing a remarkable c...

In order to study heme-induced global transcriptional changes, we performed a transcriptome-wide analysis of heme influence on the A. aegypti cell line Aag2. As heme-mediated effects on gene expression are thought to be related to oxidative stress, we compared the transcriptional profiles of Aag2 ce...

We recently showed that the two-component system (TCS) HrrSA plays a central role in the control of heme homeostasis in the Gram-positive soil bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum. Here, we characterized the function of another TCS of this organism, ChrSA, which exhibits significant sequence similar...

Porphyromonas gingivalis, the keystone pathogen responsible for dysbiosis in the oral microbiome, the development of periodontal diseases, and the contribution to systemic comorbidities, is a heme auxotroph. It encodes only four enzymes in the heme biosynthesis pathway, namely HemD, HemN, HemG, and ...

Phosphoglucomutase 3 (PGM3) is one of the rate-limiting enzymes in the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP) and a key regulator of HBP metabolic flux. Despite the functional role of PGM3 has been validated in various tumors, its function and molecular mechanism in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) rem...
