Keeping the home fires burning†: AMP-activated protein kinase
Living cells obtain energy either by oxidizing reduced compounds of organic or mineral origin or by absorbing light. Whichever energy source is used, some of the energy released is conserved by converting adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which are analogous to the chemicals in a rechargeable battery. The energy released by the conversion of ATP back to ADP is used to...
متن کاملKeeping the Home Fires Burning: The Changed Nature of Householding in the Kofyar Homeland
In the early 1960s‚ Robert Netting described househ olds in the Kofyar hom eland in Nigeria and explained their size‚ composition ‚ and other characteristics as adju stments to agrarian ecology. Household changes attending movement to a frontier were analyzed in the same framework. By the 1980s‚ the econom ic ration ale for hom eland farming had all but disappeared ‚ and some villages seemed on...
متن کاملRegulation of autophagy by AMP-activated protein kinase/ sirtuin 1 pathway reduces spinal cord neurons damage
Objective(s): AMP-activated protein kinase/sirtuin 1 (AMPK/SIRT1) signaling pathway has been proved to be involved in the regulation of autophagy in various models. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of AMPK/SIRT1 pathway on autophagy after spinal cord injury (SCI). Materials and Methods:The SCI model was established in rats in vivo and the primary spinal cord neurons were subject...
متن کاملProtein kinase C phosphorylates AMP-activated protein kinase α1 Ser487
The key metabolic regulator, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), is reported to be down-regulated in metabolic disorders, but the mechanisms are poorly characterised. Recent studies have identified phosphorylation of the AMPKα1/α2 catalytic subunit isoforms at Ser487/491, respectively, as an inhibitory regulation mechanism. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) stimulates AMPK and protein ...
متن کاملAMP-activated protein kinase regulates neuronal polarization
Question: Does the adenosine 5=monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling cascade have a role in neuronal polarization? Background: The differentiation of a single neurite into an axon, which involves increased protein and membrane synthesis as well as the intracellular trafficking of these products, is a metabolically costly process. The AMPK signaling cascade has a major ro...
