Abstract:
... The use of insects to model molecular events that characterize degenerative conditions was originally met with scepticism. However, the discovery of insect insulin-like peptides in the 1970's and the demonstration of evolutionary conservation of insulin-related signalling from insects to mammals have highlighted the importance and reduced cost of insect models in biomedical research. Here, we expa ...

Atractylodes lancea (Atr) and Magnolia officinalis (Mag) as a famous herb pair are commonly used to transform Dampness, with kidney protection. To explore how Atr and Mag protected against insulin signaling impairment in glomerular podocytes induced by hig ...
... Intramolecular S-acylation of a thiol-installed threonine with a thioester unit, followed by S–O acyl transfer and subsequent desulphurisation, allows the synthesis of lactone peptides. A protocol has been developed enabling the cyclisation of a linear peptide, a reaction which has not been achieved by conventional methods. ...
... An analogue of the Streptomyces metabolite JBIR-141, featuring a delicate N-nitrosohydroxylamine, a 3-acyltetramic acid, and an oxazoline, was synthesized by a convergent strategy from l-alanine, l-threonine, and l-glutamic acid. Key steps were the cyclization of an Ala–Thr derivative to give the oxazoline, a Dieckmann condensation affording the 3-acyltetramic acid, and the N-nitrosation of a hydr ...

Abstract:
... Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) protein ORF45 is a virion-associated tegument protein that is unique to the gammaherpesvirus family. Generation of KSHV ORF45-knockout mutants and their subsequent functional analyses have permitted a better understanding of ORF45 and its context-specific and vital role in the KSHV lytic cycle. ORF45 is a multifaceted protein that promotes infection a ...
threonine, etc ; autoregulation; biosensors; cytotoxicity; glucose; liquid state fermentation; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... The cytotoxicity of overexpressed transporters limits their application in biochemical production. To overcome this problem, we developed a feedback circuit for L-threonine production that uses a biosensor to regulate transporter expression. First, we used IPTG-induced rhtA regulation, L-threonine exporter, to simulate dynamic regulation for improving L-threonine production, and the results show t ...
threonine, etc ; dephosphorylation; glycolysis; humans; hypoxia; macrophages; microRNA; oxygen; phosphorylation; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Human macrophages infiltrating hypoxic regions alter their metabolism, because oxygen becomes limited. Increased glycolysis is one of the most common cellular adaptations to hypoxia and mostly is regulated via hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) and RAC-alpha serine/threonine–protein kinase (Akt) signaling, which gets activated under reduced oxygen content. We noticed that micro RNA (miR)-193a-3p enhan ...

Abstract:
... Numerous disinfection by-products (DBPs) are produced during the disinfection process of drinking water and wastewater, and brominated halonitromethanes (Br-HNMs) have aroused great concerns because of much higher cytotoxicity and genotoxicity than common regulated DBPs. Threonine was selected as the precursor for the investigation of Br-HNMs formation in the presence of bromide ion (Br⁻) during t ...
threonine, etc ; Escherichia coli; cysteine; growth retardation; homocysteine; isoleucine; microbiology; thiols; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Cysteine and homocysteine suppress the growth of Escherichia coli. It was explained by the inhibition of threonine deaminase (TD) (Harris in J Bacteriol 145(2):1031–1035, 1981). TD inhibition was detected by a decline in its product, 2-ketobutyrate (2-KB). We propose that cysteine or homocysteine may not inhibit TD activity. Instead, 2-KB binds to them forming stable cyclic adducts. This binding p ...

Abstract:
... Accumulated evidence has established that ligand-bound activated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) dimers rapidly undergo endocytosis via clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) and clathrin-independent endocytosis (CIE), and are then sorted to recycling and degradation pathways, respectively. On the other hand, cellular stress triggers the non-canonical CME of ligand-free EGFR monomers via the ...
