Sensing of nutrients by CPT1C controls SAC1 activity to regulate AMPA receptor trafficking
(Journal of Cell Biology, 2020)Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C) is a sensor of malonyl-CoA and is located in the ER of neurons. AMPA receptors (AMPARs) mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission in the brain and play a key ... -
Sensing of nutrients by CPT1C regulates late endosome/lysosome anterograde transport and axon growth
(eLife, 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 ... -

(BMC Systems Biology, 2010)Background: With increasing computer power, simulating the dynamics of complex systems in chemistry and biology is becoming increasingly routine. The modelling of individual reactions in (bio)chemical ... -
SIREs: searching for iron-responsive elements
(Nucleic Acids Research, 2010-07)The iron regulatory protein/iron-responsive element regulatory system plays a crucial role in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression and its disruption results in human disease. IREs are ... -
SIRT1 regulates hepatic vldlr levels
(Cell Communication and Signaling, 2024)Background: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated increases in the hepatic levels of the very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor (VLDLR) promote hepatic steatosis by increasing the delivery ... -
SIRT3 deficiency exacerbates fatty liver by attenuating the HIF1α-LIPIN 1 pathway and increasing CD36 through Nrf2
(Cell Communication and Signaling18;147, 2020-09-10)Background: Deficiency of mitochondrial sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase that maintains redox status and lipid homeostasis, contributes to hepatic steatosis. In this study, we ... -
