A surprising role for vacuolar pyrophosphatase.
Following germination, seed plants rely on stored nutrient reserves to sustain growth of the embryo. In oil-containing seeds, this period of heterotrophic growth requires b-oxidation, the glyoxylate cycle, and gluconeogenesis to convert stored lipids to sucrose, which provides energy to developing tissues in the form of ATP. Macromolecular synthesis in these tissues requires large amounts of AT...
متن کاملSRD5A3: A Surprising Role in Glycosylation
The steroid 5alpha-reductase (SRD5A) family of enzymes produces steroid hormones that regulate male sexual development. Now, Cantagrel et al. (2010) identify a member of this family, SRD5A3, as a polyprenol reductase with a crucial role in N-linked protein glycosylation and pinpoint SRD5A3 mutations as the cause of a rare Mendelian disease.
متن کاملTranscription: Surprising Role for an Elusive Small Nuclear RNA
Since 7SK was discovered as an abundant small nuclear RNA in the mid-70s, its role has remained tantalizingly unsolved. Two recent studies have shown that 7SK acts as a negative regulator of the RNA polymerase II elongation factor P-TEFb, and that this activity is influenced by stress response pathways.
متن کاملLong live FOXO: unraveling the role of FOXO proteins in aging and longevity
Aging constitutes the key risk factor for age-related diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders. Human longevity and healthy aging are complex phenotypes influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. The fact that genetic contribution to lifespan strongly increases with greater age provides basis for research on which "protective genes" are carried by lo...
متن کاملA New FOXO Pathway Required for Leukemogenesis
In cancer, the FOXO family of transcription factors functions as tumor suppressors and is directly inactivated by oncogenic signaling through the PI3K/AKT pathway. Now, Skykes et al. (2011) identify a paradoxical requirement for FOXOs in the maintenance of leukemia-initiating cells.
