| Title: | Regulation of gene expression through protein-metabolite interactions |
| Creators Name: | Hornisch, M. and Piazza, I. |
| Abstract: | Organisms have to adapt to changes in their environment. Cellular adaptation requires sensing, signalling and ultimately the activation of cellular programs. Metabolites are environmental signals that are sensed by proteins, such as metabolic enzymes, protein kinases and nuclear receptors. Recent studies have discovered novel metabolite sensors that function as gene regulatory proteins such as chromatin associated factors or RNA binding proteins. Due to their function in regulating gene expression, metabolite-induced allosteric control of these proteins facilitates a crosstalk between metabolism and gene expression. Here we discuss the direct control of gene regulatory processes by metabolites and recent progresses that expand our abilities to systematically characterize metabolite-protein interaction networks. Obtaining a profound map of such networks is of great interest for aiding metabolic disease treatment and drug target identification. |
