ATP13A4 is a polyamine transporter enriched in astrocytes that regulates extracellular polyamine homeostasis. This study contains targeted LC-MS/MS metabolomics data from ATP13A4-deficient cellular and mouse models, including C8-D1A astrocytic cells, astrocyte-conditioned medium, mouse cortex, pl...
Microglia, the brain’s primary resident immune cells, can assume various phenotypes with diverse functional outcomes on brain homeostasis. In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), where microglia are a leading causal cell type, the identity of microglia subsets that drive neurodegeneration remains unresolved...
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...
Pathogenic bacteria's metabolic adaptation for survival and proliferation within hosts is a crucial aspect of bacterial pathogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that citrate, the first intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, plays a key role as a regulator of gene expression in Staphylococc...
Disruption of organelle interactions due to metabolic stress is a crucial factor in the pathological processes of many degenerative diseases. Current treatments usually focus on individual organelles while ignoring the role of organelle interactions in cell damage caused by cascade reactions. The...
Aspergillus fumigatus is a notorious opportunistic pathogen that causes Invasive Aspergillosis (IA) infections with high mortality in immunosuppressed individuals. Long-term antifungal drug azole abuse in clinical treatment and agriculture renders it ineffectual or drug resistant. Drug resistance...
The regulation of mitochondrial nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (mNAD) is crucial for numerous life processes. However, until now, no metabolic reaction responsible for downregulating mNAD has been identified. Through in silico screening of potential NAD-binding proteins, we discovered a previo...
