Caveolin-2 palmitoylation turnover facilitates insulin receptor substrate-1-directed lipid metabolism by insulin receptor tyrosine kinase
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis. 2024 Apr 15:167173. doi: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167173. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHere, we show that insulin induces palmitoylation turnover of Caveolin-2 (Cav-2) in adipocytes. Acyl protein thioesterases-1 (APT1) catalyzes Cav-2 depalmitoylation, and zinc finger DHHC domain-containing protein palmitoyltransferase 21 (ZDHHC21) repalmitoylation of the depalmitoylated Cav-2 for the turnover, thereby controlling insulin receptor (IR)-Cav-2-insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1)-Akt-driven signaling. Insulin-induced palmitoylation turnover of Cav-2 facilitated glucose uptake and fat storage...

High phosphate and calcium induce osteoblastic phenotype switching and calcification of corneal epithelial cells in a Runx2-dependent and synergistic manner; a possible mechanism of chronic kidney disease-associated corneal calcification
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis. 2024 Apr 15:167171. doi: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167171. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) have elevated circulating calcium × phosphate product levels and exhibit soft tissue calcification. Besides the cardiovascular system, calcification is commonly observed in the cornea in CKD patients on hemodialysis. Cardiovascular calcification is a cell-mediated, highly regulated process, and we hypothesized that a similar regulatory mechanism is implicated in corneal calcification with the involvement of corneal epithelial cells (CECs). We establish...

When iron and sulfur met on an anoxic planet and eventually made clusters essential for life
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Res. 2024 Apr 15:119730. doi: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2024.119730. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACT[FeS] clusters are co-factors that are essential for life and are synthesized by dedicated multiprotein cellular machineries. In this review, we present the current scenario for the emergence and the diversification of the [FeS] cluster biosynthesis machineries. In addition to well-known NIF, ISC and SUF machineries, two alternative minimal systems, SMS, and MIS, were recently identified. Taxonomic distribution and phylogeny analyses indicate that SMS and MIS were present in the Last Universal Common Ance...

Shared functions of FeS cluster assembly and Moco biosynthesis
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Res. 2024 Apr 15:119731. doi: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2024.119731. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMolybdenum cofactor (Moco) biosynthesis is a complex process that involves the coordinated function of several proteins. In the recent years it has become evident that the availability of FeS clusters play an important role for the biosynthesis of Moco. First, the MoaA protein binds two [4Fe-4S] clusters per monomer. Second, the expression of the moaABCDE and moeAB operons is regulated by FNR, which senses the availability of oxygen via a functional [4Fe4S] cluster. Finally, the conversion of cyclic pyran...

Similar metabolic pathways are affected in both Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome-22 and Prader-Willi Syndrome
In conclusion, we provide the first molecular parallels between CMS22 and PWS, raising the possibility that PREPL substrates might become therapeutic targets for treating both disorders.PMID:38626828 | DOI:10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167175 (Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta)

Neuronal control of microglia through the mitochondria
This study provides evidence that neurons may trigger microglia activation and subsequent neuroinflammation. In addition, we demonstrate that microglial activation may have a protective role in ameliorating neuronal innate immune activation, at least in the initial phase. This work challenges the current understanding of neuroinflammation by assigning the primary role to neurons.PMID:38626829 | DOI:10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167167 (Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta)

Transcriptomic analysis of HEK293A cells with a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated TDP1 knockout
Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj. 2024 Apr 13:130616. doi: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2024.130616. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) is a human DNA repair protein. It is a member of the phospholipase D family based on structural similarity. TDP1 is a key enzyme of the repair of stalled topoisomerase 1 (TOP1)-DNA complexes. Previously, with the CRISPR/Cas9 method, we obtained HEK293A cells with a homozygous knockout of the TDP1 gene and used the TDP1 knockout cells as a cellular model for studying mechanisms of action of an anticancer therapy. In the present work, we hypothesized that the TDP1 knockout...
