Mitochondria: Redox Metabolism and Dysfunction
Mitochondria are the main intracellular location for fuel generation; however, they are not just power plants but involved in a range of other intracellular functions including regulation of redox homeostasis and cell fate. Dysfunction of mitochondria will result in oxidative stress which is one of the underlying causal factors for a variety of diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, dia...
متن کاملHydrogen sulfide: redox metabolism and signaling.
The recognition of hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) as an endogenously produced gas with signaling potential has stimulated research on a multitude of physiological effects mediated in the cardiovascular, immune, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, endocrine, and central nervous systems. The heightened activity in the area of H(2)S biology led to convening of the first international conference on H(2)S in...
متن کاملRedox outside the box: linking extracellular redox remodeling with intracellular redox metabolism.
Aerobic organisms generate reactive oxygen species as metabolic side products and must achieve a delicate balance between using them for signaling cellular functions and protecting against collateral damage. Small molecule (e.g. glutathione and cysteine)- and protein (e.g. thioredoxin)-based buffers regulate the ambient redox potentials in the various intracellular compartments, influence the s...
متن کاملThe parasite-specific trypanothione redox metabolism
Research Highlights Dissecting the mechanism of trypanothione synthetase under in vivo-like conditions All proteins of the trypanothione metabolism are indispensable for the viability of African trypanosomes. A final conclusion as to which protein plays a main role in the pathway control yet would need a reliable model based on the kinetic parameters of all enzymes obtained under conditions tha...
متن کاملCompartmentation of Redox Metabolism in Malaria Parasites
Malaria, caused by the apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium, still represents a major threat to human health and welfare and leads to about one million human deaths annually. Plasmodium is a rapidly multiplying unicellular organism undergoing a complex developmental cycle in man and mosquito - a life style that requires rapid adaptation to various environments. In order to deal with high fluxes of ...
