Summary: This study revealed the formation of cysteine-sulfenic acid (GAPDH-SOH) in S-nitrosylated GAPDH through MALDI-MS analysis after incubation with dimedone, and detected an additional peak corresponding to GAPDH-SNO by ESI-MS analysis following incubation with the NO donor. The content of GAPDH-SNO and GAPDH-SOH in the modified GAPDH was evaluated as 2.3 and 0.7 mol per mol GAPDH, respectively.

Summary: This study revealed that probiotic L. plantarum 12-3 can convert linoleic acid into various fatty acid derivatives, with in vitro studies confirming the enzymatic reactions responsible for this conversion. Putative candidate enzymes involved in the transformation were identified through whole-genome analysis, offering further insights into the mechanism of how beneficial fatty acid metabolites are produced in probiotic L. plantarum.

Summary: 1-Cys Prx is an enzyme that uses only one cysteine residue for the reduction of hydroperoxides, and it requires an external thiol for the reduction of a reactive sulfenic acid. This study compared the reaction mechanisms and kinetics of Prx5 and Prx6 enzymes from Plasmodium falciparum to investigate the hyperoxidation susceptibility and potential substrate promiscuity of 1-Cys Prx.

Summary: This study established an analysis platform for CTI assay and improved the processes of methylation and GC-FID analysis of C-18:1 cis/trans-MUFAs. Highly stable AOT/isooctane reversed micelles were formed and C-18:1 cis/trans-MUFAs were rapidly analyzed using a cyanopropyl phase DB-FastFAME column. The newly established assay allowed precise determination of the catalytic activity and kinetic parameters of the periplasmic fraction.

Summary: The study found that the plasma ratio of UDC-Tau to 7oxoLC-Tau can serve as a biomarker for decreased 11 beta-HSD1 oxoreduction activity in different mouse models. Enzyme product to substrate ratios were more reliable markers of 11 beta-HSD1 activity than absolute levels due to large inter-individual variations in bile acid concentrations. The persistence of oxoreduction activity in the face of cofactor loss indicates the existence of an alternative NADPH source in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Summary: This study investigated whether urine organic acid (uOA) and quantitative urine maleic acid (Q-uMA) analyses can distinguish between tyrosinemia type 1 (TT1) and maleylacetoacetate isomerase deficiency (MAAI-D), and the results showed that uMA analysis can effectively distinguish between the two.

Summary: Can et al. demonstrate the use of hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate and 13C magnetic resonance to directly assess liver enzymatic activities, allowing non-invasive detection of hepatic gluconeogenesis. They found that using two- to three-fold the basal plasma concentration of hyperpolarized [1-C-13]pyruvate enables measurement of liver metabolism. The study also reveals that supraphysiological doses of hyperpolarized [1-C-13]pyruvate can saturate or partially inhibit pyruvate dehydrogenase activity.

Summary: The enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1 (GPDH1) plays essential roles in the development and metabolism of Drosophila melanogaster. Depletion of maternal and zygotic pools of GPDH1 affects larval development, lifespan, fat storage, oogenesis, and embryogenesis. Metabolomics analysis further reveals metabolic adaptations in GPDH1 mutants that differ between generations. These findings expand our understanding of GPDH1's functions in early development and provide insights into the survival mechanisms of flies lacking this key enzyme.

Summary: This study reveals that the mechanism of MtnA enzyme catalyzing the conversion of MTR1P to MTRu1P may involve a proton transfer from C-2 to C-1. Phosphorylation is unrelated to catalysis but may be related to the formation of hemiketal adducts.

Summary: This study investigates the catalytic challenge posed by the substrate's phosphate ester to the enzyme MtnA. It explores the use of covalent catalysis via a phosphorylated residue to allow isomerization. However, the results suggest that phosphorylation is unrelated to catalysis. Unexpectedly, a second adduct was found in the C160S mutant, possibly due to proton transfer from C-2 to C-1 by Cys160.

Summary: Measuring renal gluconeogenesis using invasive techniques is challenging, but less invasive methods like magnetic resonance spectroscopy can provide sensitive detection of metabolism. In fasted rats, pyruvate-to-bicarbonate conversion in the kidney is mainly through PDH flux, while aspartate conversion serves as a potential marker of renal gluconeogenesis following PEPCK inhibition.

Summary: The organosulfur compounds in the bulbs of Allium siculum and Allium tripedale were analyzed, and several previously unknown compounds were identified. The compounds found in these Nectaroscordum species were similar to those observed in onion, but with higher homologues. Thiosulfinates, bis-sulfine, cepaenes, and several cepaene-like compounds were detected, as well as several groups of 3,4-diethylthiolane-based compounds homologous to those found in onion.
