Journal ArticleDOI

O-GlcNAcylation destabilizes the active tetrameric PKM2 to promote the Warburg effect.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that O-GlcNAcylation is a regulatory mechanism for PKM2 in cancer cells and serves as a bridge betweenPKM2 and metabolic reprogramming typical of the Warburg effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of comparative genomics in the identification and analysis of novel families of membrane-associated receptors in bacteria.

TL;DR: The identification of novel receptor families in prokaryotes is likely to aid in the experimental analysis of signal transduction and environmental responses of several bacteria, including pathogens such as Leptospira, Treponema, Corynebacterium, Coxiella, Bacillus anthracis and Cytophaga.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ter-dependent stress response systems: novel pathways related to metal sensing, production of a nucleoside-like metabolite, and DNA-processing

TL;DR: It is shown that both the TerB and TelA domains have been linked to diverse lipid-interaction domains, such as two novel PH-like and the Coq4 domains, in different bacteria, and are likely to comprise membrane-associated sensory complexes that might additionally contain periplasmic binding-protein-II and OmpA domains.
Journal ArticleDOI

THUMP--a predicted RNA-binding domain shared by 4-thiouridine, pseudouridine synthases and RNA methylases.

TL;DR: It is predicted that this domain is an RNA-binding domain that adopts an alpha/beta fold similar to that found in the C-terminal domain of translation initiation factor 3 and ribosomal protein S8.
Journal ArticleDOI

BEN: a novel domain in chromatin factors and DNA viral proteins.

TL;DR: Contextual analysis suggests that the BEN domain mediates protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions during chromatin organization and transcription in viral DNA during replication or transcription.
