Astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in grey and white matter regions of the brain metabolize fatty acids
(Springer Nature, 2017-09-07)
The grey and white matter regions of the mammalian brain consist of both neurons and neuroglial cells. Among the neuroglia, the two macroglia oligodendrocytes and astrocytes are the most abundant cell ...
Sensing of nutrients by CPT1C regulates late endosome/lysosome anterograde transport and axon growth
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2019)
Anterograde transport of late endosomes or lysosomes (LE/Lys) is crucial for proper axon growth. However, the role of energetic nutrients has been poorly explored. Malonyl-CoA is a precursor of fatty ...
Mechanisms of CPT1C-Dependent AMPAR trafficking enhancement
(Frontiers Media, 2018-08-08)
In neurons, AMPA receptor (AMPAR) function depends essentially on their constituent
components: the ion channel forming subunits and ion channel associated proteins.
On the other hand, AMPAR trafficking ...
Defective in mitotic arrest 1 (Dma1) ubiquitin ligase controls G1 cyclin degradation
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2013-02)
Progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle is controlled by diverse cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) that might be associated to numerous cyclin isoforms. Given such complexity, regulation of ...
Differential HMG‐CoA lyase expression in human tissues provides clues about 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaric aciduria
(Wiley, 2010)
3‐Hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaric aciduria is a rare human autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl CoA lyase (HL). This mitochondrial enzyme catalyzes the common final ...
