Calcium Homeostasis and Acidocalcisomes in Trypanosoma cruzi
Calcium ion (Ca) is an important second messenger in Trypanosoma cruzi and is essential for invasion of host cells by this parasite. A number of transporters and channels in the plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria regulate cytosolic calcium concentration. Additionally, the T. cruzi genome contains a wide variety of signaling and regulatory proteins that bind calcium as well...
متن کاملRegulation of Cell Transformation by Rb-Controlled Redox Homeostasis
Rb is a tumor suppressor, and regulates various biological progresses, such as cell proliferation, development, metabolism and cell death. In the current study, we show that Rb knockout in 3T3 cells leads to oxidative redox state and low mitochondrial membrane potential by regulating mitochondrial activity. Our results indicate that Rb plays an important role in controlling redox homeostasis. M...
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 کاملProline Dehydrogenase Regulates Redox State and Respiratory Metabolism in Trypanosoma cruzi
Over the past three decades, L-proline has become recognized as an important metabolite for trypanosomatids. It is involved in a number of key processes, including energy metabolism, resistance to oxidative and nutritional stress and osmoregulation. In addition, this amino acid supports critical parasite life cycle processes by acting as an energy source, thus enabling host-cell invasion by the...
متن کاملEnergy and Redox Homeostasis in Tumor Cells
Cancer cells display abnormal morphology, chromosomes, and metabolism. This review will focus on the metabolism of tumor cells integrating the available data by way of a functional approach. The first part contains a comprehensive introduction to bioenergetics, mitochondria, and the mechanisms of production and degradation of reactive oxygen species. This will be followed by a discussion on the...
