There is an urgent need to develop novel antifungals to tackle the threat that fungal pathogens pose to human health. In this work, we have performed a thorough characterisation and validation of the promising target methionine synthase. We have uncovered that in Aspergillus fumigatus the absence of...

The folate and methionine cycles (Met-C) are regulated by vitamin B12 (B12), obtained exclusively from diet and microbiota. Met-C supports amino acid, nucleotide, and lipid biosynthesis and provides one-carbon moieties for methylation reactions. While B12 deficiency and polymorphisms in Met-C gen...

Methionine cycle plays critical roles in cell fate determination by shaping epigenetic landscape, yet its function in human erythropoiesis remains undefined. Here, we show that disruption of methionine metabolism by compromising key enzyme adenosylhomocysteinase (AHCY) reshapes H3K4me3 landscape,...

The effects of endogenous elevation of homocysteine on retinal gene expression were screened by microarray analysis, which was performed in triplicate (i.e., three different paired RNA samples) with RNA isolated from neural retinas of cbs+/- HM at 5-weeks after a methionine diet and age-matched wild...

Dietary methionine restriction (MR) has been shown to increase lifespan and decrease adiposity in rodents. This study was designed to examine the transcriptional effects of MR in metabolically relevant tissues. This experiment contains data from the inguinal white adipose tissue (IWAT). We analyzed...

We investigated the effect of methionine sulfoximine (MetSox), a potent inhibitor of glutamine synthetase, on Mycobacterium tuberculosis. M. tuberculosis encodes four glutamine synthetases, of which MetSox targets the type I enzyme encoded by glnA1. Trancriptional profiling revealed that glutamate s...

Defects of mitochondrial functions lead in humans to vast array of usually multisystemic pathologies and several hundreds of diseases resulting from various defects of mitochondria biogenesis and maintenance, defects of respiratory chain complexes (OXPHOS) or defects of individual mitochondrial prot...

Cyanide is stoichiometrically produced as a co-product of the ethylene biosynthesis pathway, and it is detoxified by the b-cyanoalanine synthase enzyme. The molecular and phenotypical analysis of T-DNA insertional mutants of the mitochondrial b-cyanoalanine synthase CYS-C1 suggests that discrete acc...

Protein S-thiolation is a post-translational thiol-modification that controls redox-sensing transcription factors and protects active site cysteine residues against irreversible oxidation. In B. subtilis, the MarR-type repressor OhrR was shown to sense organic hydroperoxides via formation of mixed d...
