    Biochemical adaptations of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium support a metabolic ecosystem in the vertebrate eye

    Mark A Kanow, Michelle M Giarmarco ... James B Hurley
    Metabolic relationships between cells in the retina and retinal pigment epithelium are fundamental to retinal function, retinal disease and age-related vision loss and they may provide strategies for metabolism-based therapies.

    Metabolic flexibility via mitochondrial BCAA carrier SLC25A44 is required for optimal fever

    Takeshi Yoneshiro, Naoya Kataoka ... Shingo Kajimura
    Genetic and cellular studies in rodents found branched-chain amino acids are critical nutrients that are transported and oxidized in the mitochondria through their carrier MBC for optimal febrile responses.

    Glutamine metabolism modulates azole susceptibility in Trypanosoma cruzi amastigotes

    Peter C Dumoulin, Joshua Vollrath ... Barbara Burleigh
    Trypanosoma cruzi intracellular amastigotes exhibit rapid resistance to azoles, independent of genetic selection, which is dependent on metabolic state and mechanistically distinct from latency.

    Heterogeneity of proteome dynamics between connective tissue phases of adult tendon

    Howard Choi, Deborah Simpson ... Chavaunne T Thorpe
    Metabolic labelling reveals complex proteome dynamics in tendon, with faster turnover of proteins in the glycoprotein-rich interfascicular matrix compared to the collagen-rich fascicular matrix.

    Quantitative H2S-mediated protein sulfhydration reveals metabolic reprogramming during the integrated stress response

    Xing-Huang Gao, Dawid Krokowski ... Maria Hatzoglou
    ATF4, the master regulator of transcription during the Integrated Stress Response (ISR), causes global changes in cysteine sulfhydration of proteins and this event causes cellular metabolic reprogramming.

    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.

    Dynamic allostery in substrate binding by human thymidylate synthase

    Jeffrey P Bonin, Paul J Sapienza, Andrew L Lee
    The mechanism of substrate binding cooperativity in human thymidylate synthase does not derive from millisecond dynamic interconversion between active and inactive conformations in solution, but instead results primarily from differential changes in faster side-chain motions (conformational entropy), facilitated by a disordered N-terminus.

    Lactate-mediated epigenetic reprogramming regulates formation of human pancreatic cancer-associated fibroblasts

    Tushar D Bhagat, Dagny Von Ahrens ... Amit Verma
    Lactate in pancreatic cancer micro-environment can lead to TET enzyme activation and loss of DNA methylation seen in cancer associated fibroblasts.
