Journal ArticleDOI

The Warburg and Crabtree effects: On the origin of cancer cell energy metabolism and of yeast glucose repression.

TL;DR: This paper will review common metabolic properties of the fermenting yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and tumor cells as well as the possible origins of the Crabtree and Warburg effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anaplerosis in cancer: Another step beyond the warburg effect

TL;DR: The implications of an active anaplerosis in cancer are analyzed, experimental evidence showing the relevance of these metabolic routes in tumor physiology is discussed and two pathways that function in an anaplerotic fashion are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biotin deprivation impairs mitochondrial structure and function and has implications for inherited metabolic disorders.

TL;DR: It is shown that in rats and cultured cells it is the result of reduced TCA cycle flow, partly due to deficient anaplerotic biotin-dependent pyruvate carboxylase, accompanied by diminished flow through the electron transport chain, which implies core mechanisms of energy deficit in several inherited metabolic disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative phosphorylation in Debaryomyces hansenii: Physiological uncoupling at different growth phases

TL;DR: Physiological uncoupling of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) was studied in Debaryomyces hansenii and loss of NAD(+) from the matrix through an open MUC is proposed as an additional mechanism to uncouple OxPhos.
