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 ...
A nucleotide-based drug protects against glutamate- and MPP+ -induced neurotoxicity
(Scientific Research, 2011)
Nucleo CMP Forte® is a nucleotide-based drug consisting of cytidinemonophosphate, uridinemonophosphate, uridin-ediphosphate and uridinetriphosphate. It has been prescribed for peripheral nervous system ...
Identification of the ghrelin and cannabinoid CB2 receptor heteromer functionality and marked upregulation in striatal neurons from offspring of mice under a high-fat diet
(MDPI, 2021)
Cannabinoids have been reported as orexigenic, i.e., as promoting food intake that, among others, is controlled by the so-called “hunger” hormone, ghrelin. The aim of this paper was to look for functional ...
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 ...
Ghrelin causes a decline in GABA release by reducing fatty acid oxidation in cortex
(Molecular Neurobiology, 2018)
Lipid metabolism, specifically fatty acid oxidation (FAO) mediated by carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) 1A, has been described to be an important actor of ghrelin action in hypothalamus. However, it ...
Central ceramide-induced hypothalamic lipotoxicity and ER stress regulate energy balance
(Elsevier, 2014-10)
Hypothalamic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a key mechanism leading to obesity. Here, we demonstrate that ceramides induce lipotoxicity and hypothalamic ER stress, leading to sympathetic inhibition, ...
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 ...
Identification of conserved amino acid residues in rat liver carnitine palmitoyltransferase I critical for malonyl-CoA inhibition. Mutation of methionine 593 abolishes malonyl-CoA inhibition
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2003-03-14)
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) I, which catalyzes the conversion of palmitoyl-CoA to palmitoylcarnitine facilitating its transport through the mitochondrial membranes, is inhibited by malonyl-CoA. ...
Structural (betaalpha) 8 TIM barrel model of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A lyase
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2003)
This study describes three novel homozygous missense mutations (S75R, S201Y, and D204N) in the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) lyase gene, which caused 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria in ...
CPT1c is localized in endoplasmic reticulum of neurons and has carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008)
CPT1c is a carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1) isoform that is expressed only in the brain. The enzyme has recently been localized in neuron mitochondria. Although it has high sequence identity with ...
