AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylation of endothelial NO synthase

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
It is shown that AMPK co‐immunoprecipitates with cardiac endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) and phosphorylates Ser‐1177 in the presence of Ca2+‐calmodulin (CaM) to activate eNOS both in vitro and during ischaemia in rat hearts.

AMP-activated protein kinase: Ancient energy gauge provides clues to modern understanding of metabolism

TL;DR: Through signaling, metabolic, and gene expression effects, AMPK enhances insulin sensitivity and fosters a metabolic milieu that may reduce the risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcium, ATP, and ROS: a mitochondrial love-hate triangle

TL;DR: A "two-hit" hypothesis is developed, in which Ca(2+) plus another pathological stimulus can bring about mitochondrial dysfunction, and the delicate balance between the positive and negative effects of Ca( 2+) and the signaling events that perturb this balance is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myocardial Substrate Metabolism in the Normal and Failing Heart

TL;DR: This review discusses the metabolic changes that occur in chronic heart failure, with emphasis on the mechanisms that regulate the changes in the expression of metabolic genes and the function of metabolic pathways and the consequences of these metabolic changes on cardiac function.
Journal ArticleDOI

AMPK in Health and Disease

TL;DR: This review looks at how AMPK integrates stress responses such as exercise as well as nutrient and hormonal signals to control food intake, energy expenditure, and substrate utilization at the whole body level and the possible role of AMPK in multiple common diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

AMP-activated protein kinase—an energy sensor that regulates all aspects of cell function

TL;DR: Although best known for its effects on metabolism, AMPK has many other functions, including regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and disposal, autophagy, cell polarity, and cell growth and proliferation.

Isolation of nitric oxide synthetase, a calmodulin-requiring enzyme.

TL;DR: It is shown that nitric oxide synthetase activity requires calmodulin, and the native enzyme appears to be a monomer.

Isolation of nitric oxide synthetase, a calmodulin-requiring enzyme (endothelium-derived relaxing factor/arginine/cGMP)

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that NO synthetase is a calmodulin-requiring enzyme, and showed that NO formation is accompanied by the stoichiometric conversion of arginine to citrulline.

The AMP-activated/SNF1 protein kinase subfamily: metabolic sensors of the eukaryotic cell?

TL;DR: AMP-activated protein kinase and SNF1-related protein kinases in higher plants are likely to be involved in the response of plant cells to environmental and/or nutritional stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitric oxide synthases: which, where, how, and why?

TL;DR: eNOS, the last of the three mammalian NOS isoforms to be isolated, was originally purified and cloned from vascular endothelium, but has since been discovered in cardiac myocytes, blood platelets, brain (hippocampus), and elsewhere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for 5' AMP-activated protein kinase mediation of the effect of muscle contraction on glucose transport

TL;DR: Data suggest that AICAR and contraction stimulate glucose transport by a similar insulin-independent signaling mechanism and are consistent with the hypothesis that AMPK is involved in exercise-stimulated glucose uptake.
