Nuclear receptor-like transcription factors in fungi.

Abstract:

:Members of the metazoan nuclear receptor superfamily regulate gene expression programs in response to binding of cognate lipophilic ligands. Evolutionary studies using bioinformatics tools have concluded that lower eukaryotes, such as fungi, lack nuclear receptor homologs. Here we review recent discoveries suggesting that members of the fungal zinc cluster family of transcription regulators represent functional analogs of metazoan nuclear receptors. These findings indicate that nuclear receptor-like ligand-dependent gene regulatory mechanisms emerged early during eukaryotic evolution, and provide the impetus for further detailed studies of the possible evolutionary and mechanistic relationships of fungal zinc cluster transcription factors and metazoan nuclear receptors. Clinical implications of the discovery of nuclear receptor-like transcription factors in pathogenic fungi will also be discussed.

  • The hexosamine biosynthetic pathway couples growth factor-induced glutamine uptake to glucose metabolism.

    abstract::Glucose and glutamine serve as the two primary carbon sources in proliferating cells, and uptake of both nutrients is directed by growth factor signaling. Although either glucose or glutamine can potentially support mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle integrity and ATP production, we found that glucose depriv...
