A computational model of glycolysis and an integrated analysis using metabolic control analysis (MCA), metabolomics data, and statistical simulations identified and confirmed a novel mode of regulation specific to aerobic glyCOlysis where flux through GAPDH is the rate-limiting step in the pathway and the levels of fructose (1,6) bisphosphate (FBP), are predictive of the rate and control points in gly colysis.

A new kinorhynch species, Condyloderes megastigma sp. nov., is described from the Korea Strait. The new species is characterized by the presence of 16 placids with either eight, four, or two knobby…
Progranulin deficiency leads to reduced glucocerebrosidase activity
- Xiaolai Zhou, Daniel H. Paushter, Fenghua Hu
- BiologybioRxiv
- 7 February 2019
It is reported that PGRN interacts with the lysosomal enzyme, glucocerebrosidase (GBA), and is essential for proper GBA activity, and is significantly reduced in tissue lysates from PGRn-deficient mice, further evidence that reduced lysOSomal hydrolase activity may be a pathological mechanism in cases of GRN-related FTLD and NCL.
