MetabolomicsMapping the biosynthetic pathway of a hybrid polyketide-nonribosomal peptide in a metazoan
Polyketide synthase (PKS) and nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) hybrid systems typically use complex protein-protein interactions to facilitate direct transfer of intermediates between these multimodular megaenzymes. In the canal-associated neurons (CANs) of Caenorhabditis elegans, PKS-1 and NR...

MetabolomicsGrowth Substrate and Prophage Induction Collectively Influence Metabolite and Lipid Profiles in a Marine Bacterium

Bacterial growth substrates influence a variety of biological functions, including the biosynthesis and regulation of lipid intermediates. The extent of this rewiring is not well understood nor has it been considered in the context of virally-infected cells. Here, we use a one-host-two-temperate ...

MetabolomicsATAD3A has a scaffolding role regulating mitochondria inner membrane structure and protein assembly

The ATPase Family AAA Domain Containing 3A (ATAD3A), is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein conserved in metazoans. ATAD3A has been associated with several mitochondrial functions, including nucleoid organization, cholesterol metabolism, and mitochondrial translation. To address its primary ro...

MetabolomicsMining for natural product antileishmanials in a fungal extract library
Leishmaniasis is a Neglected Tropical Disease caused by the insect-vector borne protozoan parasite, Leishmania species. Infection affects millions of the World’s poorest, however vaccines are absent and drug therapy limited. Recently, public-private partnerships have developed to identify new modes ...

MetabolomicsA Python-based pipeline for preprocessing LC-MS data for untargeted metabolomics workflows
Preprocessing data in a reproducible and robust way is one of the current challenges in untargeted metabolomics workflows. Data curation in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) involves the removal of unwanted features (retention time; m/z pairs) to retain only high-quality data for subse...

MetabolomicsPRDM15 is a master regulator of metabolism essential to sustain B-cell lymphomagenesis
PRDM family members are sequence-specific transcriptional regulators involved in cell identity and fate determination and are often dysregulated in cancer. The PRDM15 gene is of particular interest, given its relatively low expression in adult tissues and its overexpression in follicular lymphomas (...

MetabolomicsFSCN1 as a new druggable target in adrenocortical carcinoma

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare endocrine malignancy with a high risk of relapse and metastatisation. The actin-bundling protein fascin (FSCN1) is overexpressed in aggressive ACC and represents a reliable prognostic indicator. FSCN1 has been shown to synergize with the Rho/Rac GEF VAV2 i...

MetabolomicsInfection-Induced Peroxisome Biogenesis Is a Metabolic Strategy for Herpesvirus Replication
Peroxisomes are primarily metabolic organelles with important functions in lipid metabolism, such as fatty acid oxidation and ether phospholipid synthesis (e.g. plasmalogens). Certain viruses, such as human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), hijack organelle functions to facilitate their replication and spread...

MetabolomicsDiel metabolomics analysis of a hot spring chlorophototrophic microbial mat leads to new hypotheses of community member metabolisms
Dynamic environmental factors such as light, nutrients, salt, and temperature continuously affect chlorophototrophic microbial mats, requiring adaptive and acclimative responses to stabilize composition and function. Quantitative metabolomics analysis can provide insights into metabolite dynamics fo...

MetabolomicsEndoplasmic reticulum-derived bodies enable a single-cell chemical defense in Brassicaceae plants
Brassicaceae plants have a dual-cell type of chemical defense against herbivory. Here we show a novel single-cell defense involving endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-derived organelles (ER bodies) and the vacuoles. We identify various glucosinolates as endogenous substrates of the ER-body β-glucosidases BG...
