Insig: a significant integrator of nutrient and hormonal signals.

چکیده

Lipogenesis is regulated by sterols and by insulin through the regulated expression and activation of the sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs). A new study shows one way in which sterol and insulin regulation can be decoupled. In transgenic mice overexpressing a protein that regulates SREBP activation, lipogenesis is more sensitive to cholesterol and less sensitive to insulin.

A Novel Method for Estimation of The Fundamental Parameters of Distorted Single Phase Signals

This paper proposes a new method for parameter estimation of distorted single phase signals, through an improved demodulation-based phase tracking incorporated with a frequency adaptation mechanism. The simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared to the conventional SOGI (Second-Order Generalized Integrator)-based approach, in spite of the dc-offset and harmon...

Upon fasting, Insig-2a levels rise, suppressing lipogenesis in a sterol-dependent fashion. Insulin cycling might be critical for the prevention of excessive lipogenesis. It creates a brief window during refeeding when Insig levels begin to decline and t...

Insig regulates HMG-CoA reductase by controlling enzyme phosphorylation in fission yeast.

Insig functions as a central regulator of cellular cholesterol homeostasis by controlling activity of HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) in cholesterol synthesis. Insig both accelerates the degradation of HMGR and suppresses HMGR transcription through the SREBP-Scap pathway. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe encodes homologs of Insig, HMGR, SREBP, and Scap, called ins1(+), hmg1(+), sre1(+), and...

A framework integrating plant growth with hormones and nutrients.

It is well known that nutrient availability controls plant development. Moreover, plant development is finely tuned by a myriad of hormonal signals. Thus, it is not surprising to see increasing evidence of coordination between nutritional and hormonal signaling. In this opinion article, we discuss how nitrogen signals control the hormonal status of plants and how hormonal signals interplay with...
