The existence of a nonclassical TCA cycle in the nucleus that wires the metabolic-epigenetic circuitry
Abstract The scope and variety of the metabolic intermediates from the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle that are engaged in epigenetic regulation of the chromatin function in the nucleus raise an outstanding question about how timely and precise supply/consumption of these metabolites is...
