Where are acetylated histones during starvation and how did the marks get there? Follow the acetyl groups as they reveal metabolic genes for survival #epigenetics #metabolism: cell.com/molecular-cell/full…

Glucose starvation induces a switch in the histone acetylome for activation of gluconeogenic and...

Hsieh et al. reveal a substantial alteration in the histone acetylome when acetyl-CoA decreases due to carbon starvation. A major deacetylase releases acetyl groups from histones at growth-promoting...

Dare you to believe it - here's one way the #ribosome can be regulated by #metabolism: many thanks to Dan, Jeff @JswLab cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

Regulation of translation by methylation multiplicity of 18S rRNA

Ribosome heterogeneity has become increasingly evident. Liu et al. report an example in the form of rRNA methylation. They show two conserved adenosines in the 18S rRNA are modified with varying...

What is #autophagy fundamentally doing from a metabolic standpoint? Reviewers thought findings were obvious and do not have broader implications, but maybe you'll find them surprising and even informative: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Autophagy sustains glutamate and aspartate synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae during nitrogen...

Nature Communications - Autophagy is known to promote cellular survival upon starvation, although how recycled components fit into cellular metabolism has not been well established. Here, the...

A SAM-responsive phosphatase regulates histone demethylation: cell.com/molecular-cell/full… #epigenetics #metabolism

Demethylation of the Protein Phosphatase PP2A Promotes Demethylation of Histones to Enable Their...

Ye et al. demonstrate that demethylation of PP2A in response to methionine starvation activates histone demethylation by increasing phosphorylation and chromatin binding of demethylase enzymes, which...
