Journal ArticleDOI

Intracellular bacterial growth is controlled by a kinase network around PKB/AKT1

TL;DR: Using a reciprocal chemical genetics approach, kinase inhibitors with antibiotic properties and their host targets are identified, and host signalling networks that are activated by intracellular bacteria for survival are determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacological inhibition of glucosylceramide synthase enhances insulin sensitivity

TL;DR: In cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes, the iminosugar derivative N-(5′-adamantane-1′-yl-methoxy)-pentyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (AMP-DNM) counteracted tumor necrosis factor-α–induced abnormalities in glycosphingolipid concentrations and concomitantly reversed abnormalities in insulin signal transduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the Non-lysosomal Glucosylceramidase as β-Glucosidase 2

TL;DR: GBA2 plays a role in cellular glucosylceramide metabolism, and its activity is linked to sphingomyelin generation, and Hydrophobic deoxynojirimycins are extremely potent inhibitors for GBA2.
