MetabolomicsUntargeted metabolomics links glutathione to bacterial cell cycle progression
Cell cycle progression requires the coordination of cell growth, chromosome replication, and division. Consequently, a functional cell cycle must be coupled with metabolism. However, direct measurements of metabolome dynamics remained scarce, in particular in bacteria. Here, we describe an untargete...

MetabolomicsMetabolic balancing by miR-276 shapes the mosquito reproductive cycle and Plasmodium falciparum development
The blood-feeding behavior of Anopheles females delivers essential nutrients for egg development and drives parasite transmission between humans. Plasmodium growth is adapted to the vector reproductive cycle, but how changes in the reproductive cycle impact parasite development remains unclear. Here...

MetabolomicsMicrobial liberation of N-methylserotonin from orange fiber in gnotobiotic mice and humans
Plant fibers in byproduct streams produced by non-harsh food processing methods represent biorepositories of diverse, naturally occurring, and physiologically active biomolecules. To demonstrate one approach for their characterization, mass spectrometry of intestinal contents from gnotobiotic mice, ...

MetabolomicsOperation of a TCA cycle subnetwork in the mammalian nucleus

Nucleic acid and histone modifications critically depend on tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle for substrates and co-factors. Although a few TCA cycle enzymes have been reported in the nucleus, the corresponding pathways are considered to operate in mitochondria. Here, we show that a part of the...

MetabolomicsDiagnostic Potential of Plasma IgG N-glycans in Discriminating Thyroid Cancer from Benign Thyroid Nodules and Healthy Controls

BACKGROUND: Novel biomarkers are urgently needed to distinguish between benign and malignant thyroid nodules and detect thyroid cancer in the early stage. The associations between serum IgG N-glycosylation and thyroid cancer risk have been revealed. We aimed to explore the potent...

MetabolomicsThe glycosyltransferase UGT76B1 modulates N-hydroxy-pipecolic acid homeostasis and plant immunity
The trade-off between growth and defense is a critical aspect of plant immunity. Therefore, the plant immune response needs to be tightly regulated. Salicylic acid (SA) is an important plant hormone regulating defense against biotrophic pathogens. Recently, N-hydroxy-pipecolic acid (NHP) was identif...

MetabolomicsMycobacterium tuberculosis VadK required for regulation of the methylcitrate cycle and virulence

The evolution of new enzymatic functions is constrained and guided by the architecture of an organism’s metabolic and regulatory networks and environmental constraints. Here, we identify a kinase that has evolved from pyruvate phosphate dikinase. Through biochemical and systems-lev...

MetabolomicsNMR based metabolomics study of Y2 receptor activation by neuropeptide Y in the SK-N-BE2 human neuroblastoma cell line
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and its Y2 receptors (Y2R) play an important role in regulating growth of various tumors and are highly expressed in human neuroblastoma brain tumors. Cell lines derived from neuroblastoma brain tumors provide a good model to study the consequences of NPY activation of Y2R in tu...

MetabolomicsCDK4/6 inhibitor-mediated cell overgrowth triggers an osmotic stress response and chronic p38MAPK activation to promote long-term cell cycle arrest

Cell size and the cell cycle are intrinsically coupled and abnormal increases in cell size are associated with senescence and permanent cell cycle arrest. The mechanism by which overgrowth primes cells to withdraw from the cell cycle remains unknown. We investigate this here using CDK4/6 inhibito...

MetabolomicsMethionine cycle in C. elegans serotonergic neurons regulates diet-dependent behaviour and longevity through neuron-gut signaling

The folate and methionine cycles (Met-C) are regulated by vitamin B12 (B12), obtained exclusively from diet and microbiota. Met-C supports amino acid, nucleotide, and lipid biosynthesis and provides one-carbon moieties for methylation reactions. While B12 deficiency and polymorphisms in Met-C gen...
