Mitochondrial one-carbon metabolism maintains redox balance during hypoxia.
Mitochondria generate high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to activate protumorigenic signaling pathways. In parallel, the mitochondria must also increase their antioxidant capacity to lower ROS levels and prevent cancer cell death. In this issue of Cancer Discovery, Ye and colleagues demonstrate that serine catabolism through one-carbon metabolism within the mitochondrial matrix is nec...
متن کاملRedox biochemistry of hydrogen sulfide.
H(2)S, the most recently discovered gasotransmitter, might in fact be the evolutionary matriarch of this family, being both ancient and highly reduced. Disruption of gamma-cystathionase in mice leads to cardiovascular dysfunction and marked hypertension, suggesting a key role for this enzyme in H(2)S production in the vasculature. However, patients with inherited deficiency in gamma-cystathiona...

متن کاملMolecular Signature of Nitroso–Redox Balance in Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathies
BACKGROUND Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy is one of the most common types of cardiomyopathy. It has been proposed that an increase in oxidative stress in heart failure leads to a decrease in nitric oxide signaling, leading to impaired nitroso-redox signaling. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the occurrence of protein S-nitrosylation (SNO) and oxidation in biopsies from explanted dila...
متن کاملMolecular Biochemistry
The elucidation of the detailed chemical mechanisms involved in biological, and particularly in enzymatic, processes has received considerable attention in recent years. Increasingly, the theories and methods of physical organic chemistry are being applied to this problem. Kosower has attempted to review the advances made in this field, as well as to suggest areas of biochemistry which should p...
