MetabolomicsSystematic analyses of lipid mobilization by human lipid transfer proteins

Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) maintain the specialised lipid compositions of biological membranes, and many are associated with disease. In eukaryotes, they support organellar functions by transporting lipids between compartmentalised metabolic pathways. However, for the majority of the hundreds...

MetabolomicsCo-occurrence of direct and indirect extracellular electron transfer mechanisms during electroactive respiration in a dissimilatory sulfate reducing bacterium

Understanding the extracellular electron transfer mechanisms of electroactive bacteria could help determine their potential in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and their microbial syntrophy with redox-active minerals in natural environments. However, the mechanisms of extracellular electron transfer t...

MetabolomicsCyromazine accelerates the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes by promoting the conjugative transfer of the SXT integrative conjugative element

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most urgent challenges in public health, and the horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) mediated by mobile genetic elements (MGEs) drives its widespread global dissemination. Although integrative conjugative elements (ICEs) outnumber...

MetabolomicsMembrane lipid as cofactor of cargo uptake and release by box-like lipid transfer proteins
Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) shuttle their cargo lipids between cellular membranes. LTPs facilitate the costly extraction of a lipid from a donor membrane, and its delivery into the acceptor membrane, but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. We combined extensive molecular dynamics simulations...

MetabolomicsEnergy-stress-mediated AMPK activation inhibits ferroptosis

Energy stress depletes ATP and induces cell death. Here we identify an unexpected inhibitory role of energy stress on ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death induced by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. We found that ferroptotic cell death and lipid peroxidation can be inhibited by treatment...

Metabolomicsα-ketoglutarate maintains AMPK translation for energy sensing in human cancer cells_targeted metabolites

The energy sensor AMPK promotes tumor cell survival under stress, but how to prevent AMPK activation to blunt tumor progression remains unclear. Here we show that the metabolite α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) controls AMPK translation through a TET-YBX1 axis, which can be exploited to sensitize human can...

MetabolomicsBased on the Metabolomic Approach the Energy Metabolism Responses of Oriental River Prawn Macrobrachium nipponense Hepatopancreas to Acute Hypoxia and Reoxygenation
Hypoxia represents a major physiological challenge for prawns and is a problem in aquaculture. Therefore, an understanding of the metabolic response mechanism of economically important prawn species to hypoxia and re-oxygenation is essential. However, little is known about the intrinsic mechanisms b...

MetabolomicsMultiomics implicate gut microbiota in altered lipid and energy metabolism in Parkinson’s disease
We aimed to investigate the link between serum metabolites, gut bacterial community composition, and clinical variables in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and healthy control subjects (HC). A total of 124 subjects were part of the study (63 PD patients and 61 HC subjects). 139 metabolite features were foun...

MetabolomicsMetabolic profiling of rheumatoid arthritis neutrophils reveals altered energy metabolism that is not affected by JAK inhibition
Neutrophils play a key role in the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) where release of ROS and proteases directly causes damage to joints and tissues. Neutrophil function is directly affected by Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitor drugs, including tofacitinib and baricitinib, which are clinically...

MetabolomicsMetabolic dysregulation in vitamin E and carnitine shuttle energy mechanisms associate with human frailty
Global ageing poses a substantial economic burden on health and social care costs. Enabling a greater proportion of older people to stay healthy for longer is key to the future sustainability of health, social and economic policy. Frailty and associated decrease in resilience plays a central role in...
