Typically, it's considered good news to lead an important race. In Missouri, it's a cause for anger and wild accusations. Rep. Todd Akin's explosive comments about rape and pregnancy have thrown a bizarre wrench in the Senate race, as partisans on both sides of the aisle claim that pollsters are artificially underestimating the other side's standing -- on purpose. Democratic-leaning pollster Public Policy Polling (PPP) went into the field Monday night -- roughly 24 hours after Akin's initial comments set off a firestorm. ...
San Francisco ? Delanie Walker caught a 32-yard touchdown pass from backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick, Alex Smith handed off five times before calling it a night and the San Francisco 49ers wrapped up the preseason with a 35-3 win over the San Diego Chargers on Thursday.
Walker returned to action for the first time since the exhibition opener after he injured his right knee during practice on Aug. 12. He missed time late last season with a broken left jaw before returning for the NFC championship, so the TD catch will only serve as a boost heading into the regular season next weekend.

Apple has quietly made some changes to iOS 6's App Store app formatting tonight and introduced a new search results format that seem clearly inspired by Chomp.
Chomp was a three-year old search and app discovery startup that was acquired by Apple earlier this year. The reason for the acquisition was reportedly to improve the App Store search and app discovery. It appears the first of those efforts are being deployed in iOS 6.
iOS 6 search results on left, Chomp app shown on right
On the iPhone, the new search results show a single tile result that can be swiped to move to each new result. Chomp's iOS app used a similar tile system in their search results.
In thread in our forums, some users are already unhappy with the shift as it is slower to browse through many results.
Meanwhile, 9to5Mac notes several other changes in App Store functionality such as Genius support, Purchased section and Podcast search:
Quote:
Also adding to the iOS 6 App Store updates, Apple has enabled the Genius recommendation section this evening, providing users with apps that may be in their interest to download. Furthermore, the purchased section has also joined the party, displaying all the apps a user has downloaded to their account, making it easy to retrieve favorite apps. Last but certainly not least, the iTunes Store has been updated with the ability to once again search for podcasts.
The iPad version of iOS 6 also shows the new tile-based results, but is able to show four results at a time. (screenshot).

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) ? Dorothy Crockett wasn't about to let Isaac keep her from a minute of the Republican National Convention.
As the tropical storm churned toward the Gulf Coast, lashing Florida along the way, Crockett made her way to the arena for the convention's truncated opening ? the only official event not canceled on Monday.
"The only hurricane I want to experience is the Republicans taking over the House, the Senate and the White House," said Crockett, a 77-year old delegate from Osceola, Ark., decked out in red, white and blue from her jacket to her earrings. "This is the Republican hurricane."
Delegates biding their time until events ramp up Tuesday spent the day reuniting with fellow Republicans, getting pep talks from party leaders and holding rallies with governors. Some said they were stocked with reading material. Others showed up to the mostly empty arena to scope out their seats and to take photos in front of the empty podium.
Plus, there are always the parties ? catered receptions scheduled from morning to night.
"We're in an upbeat mood," said Stan Stein, the North Dakota Republican Party chairman. "A little bit of weather isn't going to stop us from doing what we need to do."
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus opened the convention Monday with the pound of the gavel, then less than two minutes later, called a recess until Tuesday, when Republicans will commence a condensed three-day nominating confab for Mitt Romney and his running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan.
In downtown Tampa, delegates said they were using the downtime to trade stories and strategies with Republicans from all over the country. "I don't look at it like I'm losing a day. I feel like I'm gaining a day to catch up with old friends," said Sol Grosskopf, a Wisconsin delegate and seminary student.
The Wisconsin delegation got a morning briefing from Preibus, who chaired their state party before his election as national party chief, and Florida Gov. Scott Walker before assembling for a group photo. At his hotel not far from the convention arena, first-time delegate Jeff Johns from Cedarburg, Wis., savored the chance for a breather after having been on the go ever since his weekend arrival.
"This is the most relaxed I've been since I've been here," he said, reading a newspaper in the lobby. "I've been on my feet the whole time."
Delegates described being underwhelmed by the weather ? a little wind here, some clouds there ? which in Tampa fell short of the potential inclement weather that led RNC officials to cancel the first day in the interest of safety.
"We didn't even take umbrellas this morning. We didn't need them," said Pennsylvania delegate Marion Taxin after returning from an event at the city's aquarium with her home-state governor.
Delegate Tom Del Beccaro, who heads the California GOP, said his state's delegates were revved up from a morning rally with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and predicted the bottled-up energy would spill into an even more animated convention starting Tuesday.
Meanwhile, delegates from New York, South Dakota, North Dakota, Rhode Island and Wisconsin were gearing up for a joint "party on the pier" event that had been scheduled for 11 p.m. Monday but was bumped up to early evening take advantage of the hours they would have spent listening to GOP luminaries John Boehner and Mike Huckabee.
With Isaac barreling toward the coast near New Orleans just before Hurricane Katrina's seventh anniversary, GOP officials in Gulf states called off their plans to attend the convention. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal scrapped his much-awaited speech on Wednesday.
The catastrophic Katrina barreled into New Orleans as a Category 5 storm with winds topping 157 miles per hour and churning up a storm surge that breached the levees that held back Lake Ponchartrain from the city. More than 80 percent of the city was flooded and close to 2,000 deaths were blamed on the storm.
But delegates said they weren't concerned that the decision to proceed with the festivities with potential disaster looming would strike some as tone-deaf.
To cancel the convention, the delegates said, would be to abdicate their responsibility to represent the voters who sent them to Tampa.
"The convention certainly is full of the ceremonial and the balloons, but we have to officially nominate a candidate," said state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe of Pennsylvania. "It's an official duty that has to occur."
(Reuters) - Apple Inc's legal victory on Friday over Korean rival Samsung Electronics Co Ltd was crushing but for one key front in its global smartphone and tablet patent war: Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1.
The jury in the San Jose, California, federal court awarded the iPhone and iPad maker $1.05 billion in damages and said Samsung had copied critical features in the U.S. company's products.
However, it declined to side with Apple on one patent, covering design elements on the iPad. That put the jury directly at odds with the judge in the case who, only two months earlier, had sided with Apple over allegations the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet ripped off Apple's design.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh issued a pre-trial order barring Samsung from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the United States.
Late on Sunday, Samsung asked Koh to dissolve the order, due to the jury's finding. "There is thus no proper basis for maintaining the injunction," Samsung attorneys wrote.
An Apple representative could not be reached immediately for comment.
Samsung's Galaxy touch screen tablets, powered by Google's Android operating system, are considered by some industry experts to be the main rival among larger tablets to the iPad, although they are currently a distant second in sales to Apple's device.
Normally, when a preliminary injunction based on one patent becomes inconsistent with a subsequent verdict, the party subject to the injunction asks the court to lift it, said Mark McKenna, a professor at the University of Notre Dame's Law School.
Yet while the jury absolved Samsung on allegations the Galaxy Tab violated Apple's design patent, it did say the device infringed some of Apple's software patents. That could complicate Samsung's pitch, McKenna said.
"If Samsung or Google could design around those patents, use features that didn't infringe, then they could sell the devices without violating the injunction," McKenna said.
Additionally, Koh can overrule the jury's decision and issue a verdict saying the Galaxy Tab infringed Apple's design patent.
"Judge Koh appears to be of the mindset that the accused Samsung tablet easily meets the 'substantially the same' infringement standard - so much so that the facts lead to one and only one conclusion - infringement," said Christopher Carani, a partner at Chicago-based intellectual property law firm McAndrews, Held & Malloy.
"Thus, Apple has a greater chance than usual to succeed in convincing Judge Koh to play this extraordinary trump card."
If the sales ban is ultimately dissolved, Samsung could go after Apple for damages for the wrongful imposition of the injunction, legal experts said.
Samsung, which has various tablet line-ups with different sizes from 7 inches to 10.1 inches, introduced the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in June last year and recently unveiled an upgraded version, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 II.
The company said that Koh's injunction would not affect the updated Tab 10.1 II.
The case in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, is Apple Inc v. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd et al, 11-1846.

BALTIMORE (AP) ? Eager to bolster an inexperienced pitching staff during their first playoff run since 1997, the Baltimore Orioles obtained left-hander Joe Saunders on Sunday in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Baltimore gave Arizona right-handed reliever Matt Lindstrom and cash considerations or a player to be named later.
Saunders, who was scheduled to start Sunday against San Diego, was 6-10 with a 4.22 ERA in 21 starts with Arizona this season. He won 12 games last season while helping the Diamondbacks win their first NL West title since 2007.
Baltimore began the day tied for the second American League wild-card spot with Oakland and in third place in the AL East, only four games behind the division-leading New York Yankees.
"I like our ballclub's chances," said Dan Duquette, the Orioles vice president of baseball operations. "There's an old saying: If you're going in the right direction, keep walking. So the addition of Joe Saunders gives us a chance to keep walking in the right direction. And I think it gives us better balance against the left-handed lineups that we're going to be facing."
Saunders was born in nearby northern Virginia, played high school ball in Virginia and pitched at Virginia Tech before being drafted in the first round of the 2002 draft by the Los Angeles Angels.
"We've liked Joe Saunders for quite a while," Duquette said. "We had some discussions with him in the offseason. He's a local kid and a professional left-handed pitcher. He's won more than he's lost in the big leagues, he's pitched in the American League, he's pitched in the playoffs. He's pitched in a tough ballpark in Arizona."
The Orioles have only one left-hander in the bullpen and a rotation that includes rookies Miguel Gonzalez, Wei-Yin Chen and Steve Johnson.
"We just liked his experience, which I think compliments our starting rotation," Duquette said of Saunders. "And I also like the fact he's left-handed."
Saunders, 31, has pitched for the Angels and Diamondbacks since launching his big league career in 2005.
"I just like this addition of veteran left-handed depth to our staff," Duquette said. "It helps solidify the starting rotation while we're waiting for (injured) Jason Hammel to return. Then, if Jason Hammel does return, it gives us another good left-handed option because Joe Saunders is very good left-on-left. While we're waiting for (left-handed reliever Troy) Patton to come back, if we have several starters doing well, Joe gives us more depth and experience to our pitching staff."
Lindstrom went 1-0 with a 2.72 ERA in 34 appearances with the Orioles this season. He has held right-handers to a .207 average and scoreless in 10 of his past 11 outings.
Lindstrom has played six major league seasons with Miami, Houston, Colorado and Baltimore.
"He's another right-handed power arm. He's got some experience here in the West as well. We're pretty familiar with him, and you can see we like power arms in our bullpen, so he'll be a good addition," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said.
Duquette believed Saunders would be more valuable to the Orioles than Lindstrom at this point in the season.
"Matt Lindstrom did a nice job for us. He contributed to the bullpen," Duquette said. "I just think the left-handed addition to our starting rotation and the capability to get more innings at a high level was better for the team at this stage of the season. And who knows? Joe Saunders is a local kid. Maybe he's with us beyond this year. That's something we can take a look at. It certainly strengthens us now."
To fill Lindstrom's place on the 25-man roster, the Orioles recalled right-hander Jake Arrieta from Triple-A Norfolk. Arrieta, Baltimore's opening day starter, went 3-9 with a 6.13 ERA in 18 starts with the Orioles before being optioned to Norfolk on July 5.
The Diamondbacks had talked about going to a six-man rotation so they could keep rookie Tyler Skaggs in the big leagues, but went in a different direction. With Saunders gone, Skaggs has his spot.
Arizona general manager Kevin Towers said the trade had a lot to do with the team's young pitching. Skaggs, Patrick Corbin and Wade Miley are all rookies, while Trevor Cahill and Ian Kennedy are the only ones left from the opening day rotation.

There is a lot that goes into building a successful home staging business, and we have talked about many of those elements right here in this blog. Today we are going to focus on an area that doesn?t get as much attention as it should, not just in the home staging industry, but in the world of business in general. And that area is relationships. Believe it or not, the emphasis you put on certain key relationships can make or break your business! Here are three particularly important relationships to nurture:
Relationships with real estate agents. It?s hardly a secret that good relationships with local agents are a key ingredient to success for home stagers. However, few stagers put the time and effort into these relationships that they should be?it?s not enough to send the occasional thank-you card. You need to be working hard to build the relationship?speaking on the phone, taking the agent out for lunch; but even more importantly than ?wining and dining? is that you make the agent look good for recommending you.
Relationships with clients. Obviously a good relationship with your clients is important just to enable you to work together. But you want (or should want) more than just a working relationship? you want your clients to become raving fans of your business. You want them to recommend you every chance? they get. That?s why it is so important to go ?beyond the call of duty? for each client. Work hard to turn them into a vocal fan of your business!
Relationships with employees.Many business owners don?t think twice about their employee relationships. After all, you pay them every two weeks, right? What more do they need? Actually, the truth is that the way you treat your employees impacts the way they treat your customers. If your employees are loyal and appreciative of you, it will show in their work and their interactions with your customers.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama says the Medicare program is about keeping promises to millions of seniors who have put in a lifetime of hard work.
Obama is using Saturday's radio and Internet address to discuss a surging campaign issue. He says his goal is to strengthen Medicare and preserve the program for future generations.
Obama makes no mention of Republican rival Mitt Romney but says Republicans in Congress would turn Medicare into a voucher program that wouldn't keep up with costs. The GOP ticket has accused Obama of cutting more than $700 billion from Medicare to pay for his health care law.
In the Republican address, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky says the nation is being hurt by "the looting of the Treasury and 20 years of deficit spending."
Some 364 days ago, we talked a little bit about how your iPhone or iPad can help you prepare for natural disasters. (At least for the ones that you have time to prepare for.) That was Hurricane Irene. Now, we've got another I-storm (excuse the pun) headed for United States, with Isaac. (And, yes, more specifically, the Gulf Coast and your's truly.)
Here are some of the tips we brought you last year, updated with some new ones.
Charge your iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads. Now. Keep them charged. And once the storm starts, keep them off. You'll likely lose power at some point, and there's a good chance your local cell network will go down for a bit, even with generator backups.
Spare batteries. You can't swap batteries in Apple products, but you can get external batteries. If you got 'em, make sure they're charged, too. If you still have time to get some, do it.
Car charger. Get one. Get a couple, actually.
After the storm, text messages may work best. If the network's up, it's going to be clogged, and calls might not go through. iMessage might not go through. Text messages have a much better chance.
If you're worried about damage and don't have a traditional camera, use your phone to take a few pictures of your home and your belongings. It'll make insurance claims much easier, should it come to that.
While you still have power and internet access, be it on your phone or broadbad, take advantage of features like instant uploading on Photo Stream, Google+, or Dropbox to make sure those pictures get somewhere that can't be destroyed by the storm. Better to be safe than sorry in that case.
If you just have to use Instagram during a storm, don't use a damn filter. Folks wanna see what's happening, and filters don't help that.
Use apps like Evernote to help keep track of your emergency supplies.
Before the storm, use those gas-finder apps to track down the cheapest petrol. That won't help you with the lines, but it may save you a few bucks.
Apps from FEMA and the Red Cross can help you find shelters and other emergency information.
Those are but a few ways your iPhone or iPad can get you through this. Have a tip you'd like to share? Let's hear 'em in the comments! And good luck, everyone. Stay safe.
In living rooms, the table acts as a centre of attraction. A well selected design synchronises the table with other furniture and accessories. If you choose a table haphazardly, the room looks unsystematic. You could end up with a room where the table overwhelms other furniture.
Coffee tables help to heighten the atmosphere and overall beauty. In living rooms, the table acts as a centre of attraction. A well selected design synchronises the table with other furniture and accessories. If you choose a table haphazardly, the room looks unsystematic. You could end up with a room where the table overwhelms other furniture. There are several shades, colors, sizes and shapes of contemporary coffee tables. Before making a purchase, first establish a theme. Decide whether the table is going to act as an item of beauty, display or somewhere to place food and drinks. You can get UKCF coffee tables for all these purposes.
As there are many exciting designs to choose from, you may fall in love with the first table you come across in a showroom. Modern coffee tables are made from a variety of materials. This is a deviation from the age old practice of using wood. Today you will find tables made of glass, aluminum, fiberglass and veneer among others. Consider the size of your living room and determine how much space is available. Large contemporary coffee tables have a huge impact on the eye. Determine the height. For interior d?cor, the table should be the same height as the sofa?s seating area.
Another consideration when shopping for contemporary coffee tables is the shape. The most preferred shape is the rectangle. Such tables are considered versatile meaning they can fit in large or small rooms. It is recommended that you leave an allowance of 2 ft. on every side of the table. This makes the table reachable when seated. You should not struggle to reach for your drink. If you do, then the distance between the sofa and table is too wide. There are some designers who suggest that coffee tables be no more than 60% the length of your sofa.
Coffee tables with a square top are ideal for large rooms. However, you need to carefully map out where to place such a table. This will ensure that small spaces do not appear to be swallowed up. If you have small children, go for round UKCF coffee tables. Such tables minimise the likelihood of accidents. Round shaped tables provide families with an opportunity to socialise and bond. This is a perfect choice especially if you sit around and play board games or cards regularly. The only downside with these tables is that they consume more space.
Finally, decide on the material. UKCF coffee tables made of glass create an appearance of space. In addition, glass tables make a room appear modern. Such tables have their tops made from reinforced glass which does not break easily. Contemporary coffee tables made from wood retain their aesthetic beauty for long periods of time. An oak table has a good appearance. It will still look this way a few years down the line. Pine and walnut are among some of the most widely used wood materials. Your choice of coffee table should be defined by intense research. Shop wisely for this table.

Taking a page from the tobacco industry?s playbook, a group representing tanning salons is attacking doctors and researchers who claim that tanning beds cause cancer, FairWarning reported Aug. 23.
Training videos distributed to salons by the International Smart Tan Network and other materials refer to the ?sun scare? movement and try to equate tanning beds to natural sunlight, instructing employees to tout the health benefits of Vitamin D, produced by the body when the skin is exposed to the sun. An undercover investigation revealed that tanning shop employees routinely tell customers that indoor tanning poses no health risks.
The Indoor Tanning Association, the industry?s biggest advocacy group, launched a campaign to try to dispel the link between indoor tanning and skin cancer; the campaign was headed by Richard Berman, who formerly fought against drunk-driving laws as head of the American Beverage Institute. Ironically, industry officials compare their critics themselves to Big Tobacco.??The Sun Scare people are just like Big Tobacco, lying for money and killing people,? says Joseph Levy, executive director of Smart Tan.
In 2009, the International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded that?UV-emitting tanning devices are carcinogenic, and the American Academy of Pediatrics and American Academy of Dermatology urge minors warn to use tanning beds. There is broad scientific consensus that tanning beds raise the risk of developing melanoma, a particularly deadly form of skin cancer.

OSLO (Reuters) - A Norwegian court found Anders Behring Breivik sane on Friday in the murder of 77 people in a gun and bomb massacre last year, sending him to jail for at least 21 years and dismissing the prosecution's request for an insane verdict.
Breivik, who has admitted detonating a fertilizer bomb outside government headquarters, killing eight, before gunning down 69 at the ruling party's summer youth camp, faces the possibility of indefinite extensions to his sentence.
Many survivors and victims' families wanted a sane verdict, saying the opposite would diminish his responsibility for the attacks.
Breivik said he targeted the ruling centre-left Labour Party for its support of Muslim immigration. He dismissed being called a child murderer, arguing that his victims, some as young as 14, were brainwashed activists whose support for multiculturalism threatened to adulterate pure Norwegian blood.
Breivik himself had argued for the sane verdict as he wanted the attack to be seen as a political statement.

LONDON (Reuters) - Oil fell below $115 a barrel on Friday as signs of weakness in the global economy weighed on the demand outlook, although a host of supply-side concerns kept losses in check.
Crude was still heading for a fourth weekly gain because of lower exports from Iran, a drop in North Sea supply due to oilfield maintenance and the risk of weather-related disruption to Gulf of Mexico output.
Brent crude was down 45 cents at $114.56 a barrel by 1103 GMT, up about 0.8 percent on the week. U.S. crude eased 42 cents to $95.85.
"Falling equity markets and poorer economic data from the three major oil consumer regions - the United States, China and Europe - have put paid to the surge in oil prices for the time being," said Carsten Fritsch, analyst at Commerzbank.
European equities were lower on Friday, weighed by concern about the euro zone debt crisis. Reports on Thursday showed China's factory sector contracted in August and a rise in new U.S. jobless claims.
Brent's settlement on Thursday at $115.01 was just barely above $115, a technical level that has stood in the way of a further rally this week. Thursday's close was not strong enough to overcome the resistance, one chart-watcher said.
"We do not consider it enough. If the level fails again tonight then the weekly charts will reinforce the resistance status of $115.00," said Olivier Jakob, analyst at Petromatrix.
Investors are speculating about the prospect of strong monetary stimulus from the U.S. Federal Reserve. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and other central bank leaders meet in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, next week.
Iran and the fighting in Syria remain a focus for the market. Iran is holding talks on Friday with the U.N. nuclear watchdog about the Islamic state's atomic activities.
Iranian oil exports have plunged due to Western sanctions over the country's nuclear program, and diplomatic sources said on Thursday Iran had installed many more uranium enrichment machines in an underground bunker.
Oil traders are also keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Isaac in the Atlantic for any risk it may threaten U.S. energy supplies in the Gulf of Mexico.
Analysts at Weather Insight, a Thomson Reuters company, gave Isaac a 50 percent chance of moving into the heart of the oil and gas producing region. Another storm, Joyce, has weakened to a depression.

Caltech chemists determine 1 way tumors meet their growing needs
PASADENA, Calif. Behaving something like ravenous monsters, tumors need plentiful supplies of cellular building blocks such as amino acids and nucleotides in order to keep growing at a rapid pace and survive under harsh conditions. How such tumors meet these burgeoning demands has not been fully understood. Now chemists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have shown for the first time that a specific sugar, known as GlcNAc ("glick-nack"), plays a key role in keeping the cancerous monsters "fed." The finding suggests new potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
The new results appear in this week's issue of the journal Science.
The research teamled by Linda Hsieh-Wilson, professor of chemistry at Caltechfound that tumor cells alter glycosylation, the addition of carbohydrates (in this case GlcNAc) to their proteins, in response to their surroundings. This ultimately helps the cancerous cells survive. When the scientists blocked the addition of GlcNAc to a particular protein in mice, tumor-cell growth was impaired.
The researchers used chemical tools and molecular modeling techniques developed in their laboratory to determine that GlcNAc inhibits a step in glycolysis (not to be confused with glycosylation), a metabolic pathway that involves 10 enzyme-driven steps. In normal cells, glycolysis is a central process that produces high-energy compounds that the cell needs to do work. But Hsieh-Wilson's team found that when GlcNAc attaches to the enzyme phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK1), it suppresses glycolysis at an early phase and reroutes the products of previous steps into a different pathwayone that yields the nucleotides a tumor needs to grow, as well as molecules that protect tumor cells. So GlcNAc causes tumor cells to make a tradethey produce fewer high-energy compounds in order to get the products they need to grow and survive.
"We have identified a novel molecular mechanism that cancer cells have co-opted in order to produce intermediates that allow them to grow more rapidly and to help them combat oxidative stress," says Hsieh-Wilson, who is also an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
This is not the first time scientists have identified a mechanism by which tumor cells might produce the intermediates they need to survive. But most other mechanisms have involved genetic alterations, or mutationspermanent changes that lead to less active forms of enzymes, for example. "What's unique here is that the addition of GlcNAc is dynamic and reversible," says Hsieh-Wilson. "This allows a cancer cell to more rapidly alter its metabolism depending on the environment that it encounters."
In their studies, Hsieh-Wilson's team found that this glycosylationthe addition of GlcNAc to PFK1is enhanced under conditions associated with tumors, such as low oxygen levels. They also found that glycosylation of PFK1 was sensitive to the availability of nutrients. If certain nutrients were absent, glycosylation was increased, and the tumor was able to compensate for the dearth of nutrients by changing the cell's metabolism.
When the researchers analyzed human breast and lung tumor tissues, they found GlcNAc-related glycosylation was elevated two- to fourfold in the majority of tumors relative to normal tissue from the same patients. Then, working with mice injected with human lung-cancer cells, the researchers replaced the existing PFK1 enzymes with either the normal PFK1 enzyme or a mutant form that could no longer be glycosylated. The mice with the mutant form of PFK1 showed decreased tumor growth, demonstrating that blocking glycosylation impairs cancerous growth.
The work suggests at least two possible avenues for future investigations into fighting cancer. One would be to develop compounds that prevent PFK1 from becoming glycosylated, similar to the mutant PFK1 enzymes in the present study. The other would be to activate PFK1 enzymes in order to keep glycolysis operating normally and help prevent cancer cells from altering their cellular metabolism in favor of cancerous growth.
Hsieh-Wilson's group has previously studied GlcNAc-related glycosylation in the brain. They have demonstrated, for example, that the addition of GlcNAc to a protein called CREB inhibits the protein's ability to turn on genes needed for long-term memory storage. On the other hand, they have also shown that having significantly lower levels of GlcNAc in the forebrain leads to neurodegeneration. "The current thinking is that there's a balance between too little and too much glycosylation," says Hsieh-Wilson. "Being at either extreme make things go awry, whether it's in the brain or in the case of cancer cells."
