    In spite of markedly different realities, cultures and languages, the fascination of the Japanese for the Brazilian literary universe is incontestable. For decades they have been translated into the Japanese language more than 175 works and iconic names, like Guimarães Rosa (Grande Sertao Veredas, 1976), Machado (The Secret Cause, 1963), Carlos Drummond de Andrade (Flower, telephone and lady, 1977) and Carolina Maria de Jesus (Wardrobe Room, 1962). And this tradition has been maintained and renovated by the new generations, as associate professor (准 教授) of Literature at Kyoritsu Women's University (共 立 女子 大学 文 芸 学部 文 芸 学科) Nobuhiro Fukushima, writer and translator of Brazilian literature and bossa nova. As a result of his doctoral research, Fukushima is author of 魔法 使 い の 国 の 掟 リ オ デ ジ ャ ネ イ ロ の 詩 と 時 (Mahōtsukai no kuni in Okite: Rio de Janeiro no uta to Toki - The law of the country of magic: time and poetry of Rio of January).A despeito de realidades, culturas e idiomas marcadamente distintos, é inconteste o fascínio dos japoneses pelo universo literário brasileiro.  Há décadas vêm sendo traduzidos para a língua japonesa mais de 175 obras e nomes emblemáticos, a exemplo de Guimarães Rosa (Grande Sertão Veredas, 1976), Machado de Assis (A Causa Secreta, 1963), Carlos Drummond de Andrade (Flor, telefone e moça, 1977) e Carolina Maria de Jesus (Quarto de despejo, 1962). E essa tradição tem sido mantida e renovada pelas novas gerações, como o professor associado (准教授) de Literatura na Kyoritsu Women’s University (共立女子大学 文芸学部 文芸学科) Nobuhiro Fukushima, escritor e tradutor de literatura brasileira e de bossa nova. Como resultado da sua pesquisa de doutorado, Fukushima é autor do livro 魔法使いの国の掟 リオデジャネイロの詩と時 (Mahōtsukai no kuni no okite: Rio de Janeiro no uta to toki – A lei do país da magia: tempo e poesia do Rio de Janeiro)

    Cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase governs cysteine polysulfidation and mitochondrial bioenergetics

    No full text
    Cysteine hydropersulfide (CysSSH) occurs in abundant quantities in various organisms, yet little is known about its biosynthesis and physiological functions. Extensive persulfide formation is apparent in cysteine-containing proteins in Escherichia coli and mammalian cells and is believed to result from post-translational processes involving hydrogen sulfide-related chemistry. Here we demonstrate effective CysSSH synthesis from the substrate L-cysteine, a reaction catalyzed by prokaryotic and mammalian cysteinyl-tRNA synthetases (CARSs). Targeted disruption of the genes encoding mitochondrial CARSs in mice and human cells shows that CARSs have a crucial role in endogenous CysSSH production and suggests that these enzymes serve as the principal cysteine persulfide synthases in vivo. CARSs also catalyze co-translational cysteine polysulfidation and are involved in the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and bioenergetics. Investigating CARS-dependent persulfide production may thus clarify aberrant redox signaling in physiological and pathophysiological conditions, and suggest therapeutic targets based on oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction

    Revisiting glucose metabolism in cancer: lessons from a PKM knock-in model

    No full text
    Isoform selection of pyruvate kinase M (PKM), a glycolytic enzyme, influences fates of glucose-derived carbons in cellular metabolic networks. We recently developed novel mouse lines to study PKM isoform function and identified PKM1 as a potential target in a subset of human lung cancers. This work provides new insight into cancer metabolism
