Fine-tuning Metabolic Switches
Cells get the energy for most of their activities in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is generated through the breakdown of glucose and lipid molecules. Partial breakdown of a single glucose molecule through glycolysis yields 2 ATP molecules; and when glycolysis is followed by pyruvate decarboxylation and the tricarboxcylic acid (TCA) cycle, a cell can eke out between 30 and 38 A...
متن کاملRetrograde Tuning of Tuning
One way to localize sounds is to measure differences in sound intensity at the two ears. This comparison is made in the lateral superior olive, where signals from both ears converge. Magnusson et al. in this issue of Neuron show that dendritic GABA release can regulate this comparison, which may allow animals localizing sounds to adapt to listening conditions.
متن کاملFine-tuning citrate synthase flux potentiates and refines metabolic innovation in the Lenski evolution experiment
Evolutionary innovations that enable organisms to colonize new ecological niches are rare compared to gradual evolutionary changes in existing traits. We discovered that key mutations in the gltA gene, which encodes citrate synthase (CS), occurred both before and after Escherichia coli gained the ability to grow aerobically on citrate (Cit(+) phenotype) during the Lenski long-term evolution exp...
متن کاملFine-tuning of NADH oxidase decreases byproduct accumulation in respiration deficient xylose metabolic Saccharomyces cerevisiae
BACKGROUND Efficiently utilizing all available carbon from lignocellulosic feedstock presents a major barrier to the production of economically feasible biofuel. Previously, to enable xylose utilization, we introduced a cofactor-dependent xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) pathway, or a cofactor-independent xylose isomerase (XI) pathway, into Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The res...
متن کاملFungal Endophytes as a Metabolic Fine-Tuning Regulator for Wine Grape
Endophytes proved to exert multiple effects on host plants, including growth promotion, stress resistance. However, whether endophytes have a role in metabolites shaping of grape has not been fully understood. Eight endophytic fungal strains which originally isolated from grapevines were re-inoculated to field-grown grapevines in this study, and their effects on both leaves and berries of grape...
