1 1460020 Recombinant GFAT activity was inhibited 51% by UDP-GlcNAc whereas bacterial GFAT activity was insensitive to inhibition by UDP-GlcNAc.
2 9421478 Inhibition of GFAT by the substrate analogue azaserine or by inhibition of GFAT protein synthesis with antisense oligonucleotide prevented the high glucose-induced increase in cellular glucosamine metabolites and TGF-beta1 expression and bioactivity and subsequent effects on mesangial cell proliferation and matrix production.
3 9421478 Overall, our study indicates that the flux of glucose metabolism through the GFAT catalyzed hexosamine biosynthetic pathway is involved in the glucose-induced mesangial production of TGF-beta leading to increased matrix production.
4 11916938 Overexpression of glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT), the rate-limiting enzyme for flux through the hexosamine pathway, led to a 2.2-fold increase in NF-kappaB enhancer activity; the combination of GFAT overexpression and high glucose increased activity 2.8-fold, and these increases were prevented by 40 micromol/l O-diazoacetyl-L-serine (azaserine) or 6-diazo-5-oxonorleucine.
5 11916938 High glucose, glucosamine, and GFAT overexpression increased binding of MC nuclear proteins to NF-kappaB consensus sequences.
6 11916938 Inactivation of the two NF-kappaB sites in the VCAM-1 promoter abolished its response to high glucose, glucosamine, and GFAT overexpression.
7 16339923 UDP-GlcNAc regulates flux through HBP by regulating GFAT activity and is the obligatory substrate of O-GlcNAc transferase.
8 16892452 Azaserine, an inhibitor of glutamine:fruc-6-PO(4) amidotransferase (GFAT) in the HBP, blocks the HG-induced expression of laminin gamma1 and cyclin D1, but not GlcN's effect because it exerts its metabolic function distal to GFAT.
