CPT1C promotes human mesenchymal stem cells survival under glucose deprivation through the modulation of autophagy
(Nature Research, 2018-05-03)
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are widely used in regenerative medicine. In some
applications, they must survive under low nutrient conditions engendered by avascularity. Strategies to
improve ...
Characterization of a novel HMG-CoA lyase enzyme with a dual location in endoplasmic reticulum and cytosol
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2012)
A novel lyase activity enzyme is characterized for the first time: HMG-CoA lyase-like1 (er-cHL), which is a close homolog of mitochondrial HMG-CoA lyase (mHL). Initial data show that there are nine ...
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 ...
