Peripheral Serotonin: a New Player in Systemic Energy Homeostasis
Whole body energy balance is achieved through the coordinated regulation of energy intake and energy expenditure in various tissues including liver, muscle and adipose tissues. A positive energy imbalance by excessive energy intake or insufficient energy expenditure results in obesity and related metabolic diseases. Although there have been many obesity treatment trials aimed at the reduction o...
متن کاملBacterial chemotaxis: a new player in response regulator dephosphorylation.
Escherichia coli chemotaxis is arguably the best understood of all biological behaviors, but even this relatively “simple” system continues to offer up new molecular insights from Evolution’s bag of signaling tricks. The latest surprise comes from Silversmith et al. (15), who report in this issue how the X-ray structure of a mutant CheY protein led them to the discovery of a CheY residue that p...
متن کاملRodZ, a new player in bacterial cell morphogenesis
Three different laboratories have now identified a new morphogenetic factor widely conserved in bacteria. The protein, RodZ, is required for assembly of the actin cytoskeleton MreB that controls cell wall synthesis and cell shape. It is not yet understood how bacteria determine their shape. Almost all bacteria are surrounded by a giant cell wall polymer called peptidoglycan that gives shape to ...
متن کاملRedox regulated peroxisome homeostasis
Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles present in nearly all eukaryotic cells. Conserved functions of peroxisomes encompass beta-oxidation of fatty acids and scavenging of reactive oxygen species generated from diverse peroxisomal metabolic pathways. Peroxisome content, number, and size can change quickly in response to environmental and/or developmental cues. To achieve efficient peroxisome hom...
متن کاملThe scavenger endothelial cell: a new player in homeostasis and immunity.
To maintain homeostasis, the animal body is equipped with a powerful system to remove circulating waste. This review presents evidence that the scavenger endothelial cell (SEC) is responsible for the clearance of blood-borne waste macromolecules in vertebrates. SECs express pattern-recognition endocytosis receptors (mannose and scavenger receptors), and in mammals, the endocytic Fc gamma-recept...
