    Pancreatic tumors exhibit myeloid-driven amino acid stress and upregulate arginine biosynthesis

    Juan J Apiz Saab, Lindsey N Dzierozynski ... Alexander Muir
    Analysis of the tumor microenvironment reveals that pancreatic tumors experience metabolic stress caused by immune cell degradation of the amino acid arginine, and that pancreatic cancers cope by synthesizing arginine to provide access this amino acid despite low tumor availability.

    Inhibitory IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells are T-bet-dependent and facilitate cytomegalovirus persistence via coexpression of arginase-1

    Mathew Clement, Kristin Ladell ... Ian R Humphreys
    The results presented here indicate that IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells express genes associated with chronically activated TH1-like cells, undergo clonal expansion, and inhibit antiviral T cell responses via the secretion of arginase-1, facilitating viral persistence in mice infected with MCMV.

    Control of TSC2-Rheb signaling axis by arginine regulates mTORC1 activity

    Bernadette Carroll, Dorothea Maetzel ... Viktor I Korolchuk
    Signaling pathway mTOR can sense its principal activator amino acid arginine via a different mechanism than that previously described for other amino acids.

    Protein arginine methylation facilitates KCNQ channel-PIP2 interaction leading to seizure suppression

    Hyun-Ji Kim, Myong-Ho Jeong ... Hana Cho
    The PRMT1 protein mediates arginine methylation of KCNQ2 channels to control neuronal excitability.

    C9orf72 arginine-rich dipeptide repeat proteins disrupt karyopherin-mediated nuclear import

    Lindsey R Hayes, Lauren Duan ... Jeffrey D Rothstein
    Poly-PR and poly-GR interact with importin β, disrupt importin-cargo loading, and inhibit nuclear import in permeabilized cells in a manner that can be rescued by RNA.

    Carm1-arginine methylation of the transcription factor C/EBPα regulates transdifferentiation velocity

    Guillem Torcal Garcia, Elisabeth Kowenz-Leutz ... Thomas Graf
    A mutation in the lineage-determining regulator C/EBPα that increases the factor’s affinity for its partner PU.1 dramatically accelerates the velocity of B cell to macrophage transdifferentiation.

    Polysaccharide breakdown products drive degradation-dispersal cycles of foraging bacteria through changes in metabolism and motility

    Astrid Katharina Maria Stubbusch, Johannes M Keegstra ... Glen G D'Souza
    Degradation products of polysaccharides trigger partial population dispersal and alter cellular metabolism, shaping the marine biomass decomposition by foraging bacteria.

    Unraveling the role of urea hydrolysis in salt stress response during seed germination and seedling growth in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Yuanyuan Bu, Xingye Dong ... Shenkui Liu
    Salt stress triggers excessive hydrolysis of arginine-derived urea in Arabidopsis thaliana, raising cytoplasmic pH and inhibiting seed germination and seedling growth, providing new insights into the relationship between seed nitrogen mobilization and seed germination inhibition.

    JMJD6 cleaves MePCE to release positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) in higher eukaryotes

    Schuyler Lee, Haolin Liu ... Gongyi Zhang
    JMJD6 helps BRD4 to recruit CDK9 to RNA Polymerase II by disrupting 7SK snRNP complex.
