Biochem/physiol Actions

Galactose is a simple monosaccharide that serves as an energy source and as an essential component of glycolipids and glycoproteins. Galactose contributes to energy metabolism via its conversion to glucose by the enzymes that constitute the Leloir pathway. Defects in the genes encoding these proteins lead to the metabolic disorder galactosemia.

Single-Cell Tracing Dissects Regulation of Maintenance and Inheritance of Transcriptional Reinduction Memory.

Poonam Bheda et al.

Molecular cell, 78(5), 915-925 (2020-05-12)

Transcriptional memory of gene expression enables adaptation to repeated stimuli across many organisms. However, the regulation and heritability of transcriptional memory in single cells and through divisions remains poorly understood. Here, we combined microfluidics with single-cell live imaging to monitor

Gal-lectin-dependent contact activates the inflammasome by invasive Entamoeba histolytica.

L Mortimer et al.

Mucosal immunology, 7(4), 829-841 (2013-11-21)

Entamoeba histolytica (Eh) is an extracellular protozoan parasite of the human colon, which occasionally breaches the intestinal barrier. Eradicating ameba that invades is essential for host survival. A defining but uncharacterized feature of amebic invasion is direct contact between ameba

A drug delivery strategy: binding enkephalin to asialoglycoprotein receptor by enzymatic galactosylation.

Michelle P Christie et al.

PloS one, 9(4), e95024-e95024 (2014-04-17)

Glycosylation of biopharmaceuticals can mediate cell specific delivery by targeting carbohydrate receptors. Additionally, glycosylation can improve the physico-chemical (drug-like) properties of peptide based drug candidates. The main purpose of this study was to examine if glycosylation of the peptide enkephalin

In vivo inhibition followed by exogenous supplementation demonstrates galactopoietic effects of prolactin on mammary tissue and milk production in dairy cows.

V Lollivier et al.

Journal of dairy science, 98(12), 8775-8787 (2015-09-21)

It has been previously shown that the long-term inhibition of milking-induced prolactin (PRL) release by quinagolide (QN), a dopamine agonist, reduces milk yield in dairy cows. To further demonstrate that PRL is galactopoietic in cows, we performed a short-term experiment

Telomerase regulates MYC-driven oncogenesis independent of its reverse transcriptase activity.

Cheryl M Koh et al.

The Journal of clinical investigation, 125(5), 2109-2122 (2015-04-22)

Constitutively active MYC and reactivated telomerase often coexist in cancers. While reactivation of telomerase is thought to be essential for replicative immortality, MYC, in conjunction with cofactors, confers several growth advantages to cancer cells. It is known that the reactivation
