The mitochondrial glutamine transporter SLC1A5_var plays a central role in the metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells by facilitating glutamine import into mitochondria for energy production and redox homeostasis. Despite its critical function, the development of effective and selective inhibito...
Following infection of B cells, Epstein Barr virus (EBV) engages host pathways that mediate cell proliferation and transformation, contributing to the propensity of the virus to drive immune dysregulation and lymphomagenesis. We found that the EBV protein EBNA2 initiates NAD de novo bios...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) exhibits profound molecular heterogeneity based on primary tumor location. A comprehensive understanding of the spatially resolved metabolic differences between right-sided (RCC) and left-sided (LCC) carcinomas remains elusive. Here, to eliminate the influence of inter-ind...
Prostate cancer (PCa) growth depends on de novo lipogenesis controlled by the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). In this study, we identified lysine methyltransferase (KMT)9 as a novel regulator of PDC activity. KMT9 is localized in mitochondria of PCa cells, but not in mitochond...
