One-Carbon Metabolism in Health and Disease

TL;DR: The fundamentals of mammalian 1C metabolism, including the pathways active in different compartments, cell types, and biological states, are reviewed and new opportunities for selective therapeutic intervention are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serine and one-carbon metabolism in cancer.

TL;DR: The non-essential amino acid serine supports several metabolic processes that are crucial for the growth and survival of proliferating cells, including protein, amino acid and glutathione synthesis, as an important one-carbon donor to the folate cycle.

A sensitive assay for dNTPs based on long synthetic oligonucleotides, EvaGreen dye and inhibitor-resistant high-fidelity DNA polymerase.

TL;DR: A simple non-radioactive microplate assay for the quantification of dNTPs with a minimum requirement of 4–12 mg of biopsy material based on long synthetic single-stranded DNA templates, an inhibitor-resistant high-fidelity DNA polymerase, and the double-strander-DNA-binding EvaGreen dye that quantified reliably and discriminated well against ribonucleotides.

Mitochondrial dysfunction remodels one-carbon metabolism in human cells

TL;DR: Two lines of evidence are provided that mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction leads to alterations in one-carbon metabolism pathways and that lesioning the respiratory chain impairs mitochondrial production of formate from serine, and that in some cells, respiratory chain inhibition leads to growth defects upon serine withdrawal that are rescuable with purine or formate supplementation.

Mitochondrial diseases: the contribution of organelle stress responses to pathology

TL;DR: Insight is emerging from recent research that investigated defects in mitochondrial protein synthesis and mitochondrial DNA maintenance, which showed that many cell-specific stress responses are induced in response to mitochondrial dysfunction.

A Mitochondrial Protein Compendium Elucidates Complex I Disease Biology

TL;DR: This work predicts 19 proteins to be important for the function of complex I (CI) of the electron transport chain and validate a subset of these predictions using RNAi, including C8orf38, which is shown to have an inherited mutation in a lethal, infantile CI deficiency.

High levels of mitochondrial DNA deletions in substantia nigra neurons in aging and Parkinson disease.

TL;DR: It is shown that in substantia nigra neurons from both aged controls and individuals with Parkinson disease, there is a high level of deleted mitochondrial DNA, suggesting that somatic mtDNA deletions are important in the selective neuronal loss observed in brain aging and in Parkinson disease.

Metabolite Profiling Identifies a Key Role for Glycine in Rapid Cancer Cell Proliferation

TL;DR: Glycine consumption and expression of the mitochondrial glycine biosynthetic pathway was identified as strongly correlated with rates of proliferation across cancer cells, and higher expression of this pathway was associated with greater mortality in breast cancer patients.
