  2. 1. Regulation of energy metabolism in tumor cells : the role of hexokinase

    Author : Firoz Kabir; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neoplasms; metabolism;

    Abstract : Changes in glucose metabolism are among the most universal andfundamental metabolic alterations observed in cancer cells. Hexokinase isthe initial regulatory enzyme which controls the rate of glucose entranceinto the glycolytic pathway. The content of hexokinase in tumor cells iselevated, and most of the enzyme is bound to mitochondria. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of the Carbon and Energy Metabolism in the Moss Physcomitrella patens

    Author : Anders Nilsson; Hans Ronne; Leszek Kleczkowski; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hexokinase; SnRK1; sugar signaling; carbon metabolism; Physcomitrella patens; shuttle vector; subcellular localization; model organism; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Since a proper balance between anabolic and catabolic reactions is essential for all eukaryotes, the basic mechanisms for regulation of the energy and carbon metabolism have been conserved throughout evolution. The moss Physcomitrella patens, which belongs to one of the basal clades among land plants, has many unique properties that make it an excellent plant model system. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mechanisms of HAMLET-induced cancer cell death

    Author : Sonja Aits; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alpha-actinin; prohibitin; alpha-lactalbumin; HAMLET; cancer; cell death; autophagy; focal adhesions; c-Myc; hexokinase; glycolysis;

    Abstract : HAMLET, a complex of α-lactalbumin and oleic acid, preferentially kills cancer cells and is also effective in vivo. HAMLET causes apoptosis but cells die even if this pathway is inhibited. Thus, the role of autophagy, an alternative cell death pathway, was examined. READ MORE

  6. 4. Functional studies of plant hexokinases and development of genetic methods in the moss Physcomitrella patens

    Author : Mikael Ulfstedt; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In the field of biology, model systems are frequently used for practical reasons. Model organisms possess several features that make them easy to work with in a laboratory setting. In addition they usually have a host of established genetic tools that have been developed by the research community. READ MORE

  7. 5. Rat liver porin : purification, characterization and biogenesis of a channelforming outer mitochondiral membrane protein

    Author : Monica Lindén; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The outer mitochondrial membrane has the unique property of being freely permeable to small water soluble substrate molecules. The molecular basis for this biologically important property has been investigated. READ MORE
