We systematically investigated RcrR's contribution to cariogenic virulence using isogenic wild-type, DeltarcrR deletion mutant, and complemented strains. We assessed bacterial growth, biofilm architecture, acid tolerance, and H+-ATPase activity. To delineate the global regulatory network, we inte...
Natural killer (NK) cells are forced to cope with different oxygen environments even under resting conditions. The adaptation to low oxygen is regulated by oxygen-sensitive transcription factors, the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). The function of HIFs for NK cell activation and metabolic rewir...
Abstract
Background
The gut microbiota is a key regulator of host lipid metabolism. In indigenous pigs, variation in growth performance and intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition has been linked to microbiota-host interactions, yet the specific taxa and metabolites that govern host lipid ...
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...
