Meeting the (N-Terminal) End with Acetylation
Cell-fate decisions are tightly linked to cellular energy status. In this issue, Yi et al. (2011) introduce a mechanism by which Bcl-xL lowers the threshold for apoptosis by suppressing acetyl-CoA production, which, in turn, suppresses the N-alpha-acetylation important for activation of the proapoptotic protease caspase-2.
متن کاملIncreased constitutive c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling in mice lacking glutathione S-transferase Pi.
Glutathione S-transferase Pi (GSTP) detoxifies electrophiles by catalyzing their conjugation with reduced glutathione. A second function of this protein in cell defense has recently been proposed that is related to its ability to interact with c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). The present study aimed to determine whether this interaction results in increased constitutive JNK activity in the absenc...
متن کاملBritain The Site at which 4 - Todoacetamidosalicylate Reacts with Glutamate Dehydrogenases
1. Bovine, porcine and chicken liver glutamate dehydrogenases were irreversibly inhibited by a tenfold excess of radioactive 4-iodoacetamidosalicylic acid at pH7.5. 2. Inhibition was accompanied by the covalent incorporation of 1.1 mol of labelled inhibitor/mol of polypeptide chain. Acid hydrolysis yielded N'-carboxymethyl-lysine as the sole labelled amino acid. No labelled S-carboxymethylcyste...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ECM4, a Xi-Class Glutathione Transferase that Reacts with Glutathionyl-(hydro)quinones
Glutathionyl-hydroquinone reductases (GHRs) belong to the recently characterized Xi-class of glutathione transferases (GSTXs) according to unique structural properties and are present in all but animal kingdoms. The GHR ScECM4 from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been studied since 1997 when it was found to be potentially involved in cell-wall biosynthesis. Up to now and in spite of biol...
متن کاملDirect interaction of the N-terminal domain of focal adhesion kinase with the N-terminal transactivation domain of p53.
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a nonreceptor kinase that is overexpressed in many types of tumors and associates with multiple cell surface receptors and intracellular signaling proteins through which it can play an important role in survival signaling. A link between FAK and p53 in survival signaling has been reported, although the molecular basis of these events has not been described. In the...
