Bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1,2,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ethyl sulfide (BPTES) is a potent and selective allosteric inhibitor of kidney-type glutaminase (GLS) that has served as a molecular probe to determine the therapeutic potential of GLS inhibition. In an attempt to identify more potent GLS inhibitors with improved
The interplay of metabolism and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms has become a focal point for a better understanding of cancer development and progression. In this study, we have acquired data supporting previous observations that demonstrate glutamine metabolism affects histone modifications in
Nitrogen is incorporated into various metabolites by multifunctional glutamine amidotransferases via reactive ammonia generated by glutaminase hydrolysis of glutamine. Although this process is generally tightly regulated by subsequent synthase activity, little is known about how the glutaminase is inhibited in
The BNIP-2 and Cdc42GAP Homology (BCH) domains constitute a new and expanding family of highly conserved scaffold protein domains that regulate Rho, Ras and MAPK signaling, leading to cell growth, apoptosis, morphogenesis, migration and differentiation. Such versatility is achieved via
Chromatin loops formed between distant regulatory elements and promoters modulate gene expression. We identified a novel distant regulatory element located approximately 120kb downstream of the gls promoter, and examined its regulatory relevance to gls gene expression in C2C12 cells by
