Extreme Temperatures Reduce Copepod Performance and Change the Relative Abundance of Internal Microbiota by Quyen D. H. Vu, Linh P. Pham, Oanh T. Truong, Sang Q. Tran, Canh V. Bui, Minh‐Hoang Le, Binh T. Dang, Khuong V. Dinh

“…Changes in the relative abundance of these bacteria might be related to reduced copepod growth, survival, and reproduction under extreme temperatures. Profiling the functional role of all internal bacterial groups in response to the temperature change will fundamentally advance our mechanistic understanding of the performance of tropical copepods and, more generally, marine invertebrates to a warming climate.…”

Modulating the serine metabolism in human differentiated astrocytes: an integrated multi omics approach by Farida Tripodi, Elisa Maffioli, Silvia Sacchi, Valentina Rabattoni, Zoraide Motta, Claudia Bearzi, Gabriella Tedeschi, Gabriella Tedeschi, Loredano Pollegioni, Paola Coccetti

“…IntroductionAstrocytes are the major source of L-serine (L-Ser) in the brain: the glycolytic intermediate D-3-phosphoglycerate is converted into L-Ser through the phosphorylated pathway (PP) made up of three enzymes, phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT) and phosphoserine phosphatase (PSP), recently proposed to generate a metabolic assembly named serinosome. In the central nervous system, L-Ser is used for a number of functions, including the synthesis of glycine (Gly) and D-serine (D-Ser), the two key NMDAR co-agonists.MethodsHere, we used iPSC-derived human astrocytes as a cellular model to evaluate the impact on cell metabolism of the overexpression of each of the three enzymes of the PP as GFP-tagged proteins.ResultsThe subcellular cytosolic localization of PP enzymes remains unchanged compared to endogenous proteins, while the complex formation is increased in all cases. …”
