Soybean suspension cell cultures were treated by H2O2 or nitric oxide (NO), to assess the
mechanism leading to programmed cell death (PCD). Hydrogen peroxide (5 mM) induced …

Hydrogen peroxide is a major regulator of plant programmed cell death (PCD) but little is
known about the downstream genes from the H2O2‐signaling network that mediate the cell …

In tumour cells, elevated levels of mitochondria-bound isoforms of hexokinase (HK-I and HK-
II) result in the evasion of apoptosis, thereby allowing the cells to continue proliferating. The …

Abstract Hexokinase 1 from Arabidopsis thaliana (At HXK1) plays a dual role in glycolysis
and sugar sensing for vital metabolic and physiological processes. The uncoupling of …

The classic view in biochemistry is that etabolic pathways are regulated through allosteric
regulation of the first enzyme in the pathway. Allosteric regulation is the induction by another …

Exposure of tomato plants to dark period promotes leaf senescence, which takes place at
different speed in young, mature and old leaves of intact plants. Dark-induced senescence is …

Abstract Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is known to be a typical endogenous signaling
molecule that triggers programmed cell death in plants and metazoan. In this respect, they …

The protein kinase Akt is now well recognized as a potent inhibitor of apoptosis. Work
published by Majewski et al. in the December 3 rd issue of Molecular Cell indicates that a …

Research on programmed cell death in plants is providing insight into the primordial
mechanism of programmed cell death in all eukaryotes. Much of the attention in studies on …

Cancer‐related metabolic features are in part maintained by hexokinase 2 upregulation,
which leads to high levels of glucose‐6‐phosphate (G6P) and is needed to provide energy …
