  2021-02-05

  

  Epac proteins consist of a carboxyl-terminal catalytic region and an amino-terminal regulatory region, which harbors one cAMP-binding domain in Epac1 and two in Epac2 [22], [32], [51]. In the absence of cAMP, the regulatory region covers the CDC25-homology domain and autoinhibits Epac's enzymatic ac

  Structure and function of EPAC isoforms EPACs are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the Ras-like GTPases Rap1 and Rap2 [9]. There are two mammalian EPAC isoforms, EPAC1 and EPAC2 1, 2 (Figure 1). Whereas EPAC1 displays a wide tissue distribution, the expression of EPAC2 is more restr

  The total reduced glutathione content was determined in both NT157 to examine whether retinol was decreasing glutathione concentrations and thus decreasing the conjugation of NAPQI. Total hepatic (3.9±0.3 vs 4.9±1.0 μmol/g, retinol vs untreated, respectively) and renal (0.4±0.1 vs 0.2±0.1 μmol/g, r

  2021-02-04

  

  This pathway appears to have importance in epilepsy. DGKε(−/−) mice had significantly fewer motor seizure and epileptic events compared with DGKε(+/+) mice [18]. This could be explained by the fact that in the knockout mice a greater fraction of the SAG would be converted to 2-AG. 2-AG itself is kno

  2021-02-04

  

  The folate pathway plays an essential role in cell survival by generating 5, 10-methylene tetrahydrofolate as a one-carbon donor for the synthesis of deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), purines, methionine and histidine. Disruption of this pathway leads to the critical deficiency of these key molec

  Moreover, the imbalance between pro and anti-inflammatory cytokine production is present in various types of diseases. The use of substances able to induce anti-inflammatory cytokines could represent an important advance in the therapeutic treatment of a range of diseases. In this context, medicinal

  Casein Kinase II (CK2) Casein Kinase II (CK2) is a ubiquitous serine/threonine-selective pro-oncogenic protein kinase that has become a more prominent target for research due to its effects and key role in tumorigenesis (Gowda et al., 2017a, Pinna, 2002). CK2, a well-conserved, pleiotropic kinase

  A wealth of studies support the key role of high NO in promoting higher blood flow and thus greater O2 delivery to working tissues in healthy Tibetans and thus partly compensate hypoxia induced low arterial O2 content [7,9,27]. We observed high eNOS mRNA, protein and enzyme activity in Ladakhi women

  However, in many of the above mentioned studies, the NaCl concentrations in the extraction buffers were different from those used here.

  The identification of CCR6+ AZ3146 within the LZ as direct progenitors of MBCs provides a new window into the evolution of immune responses. In practical terms, flow-cytometric detection of CCR6+ GC B cells could provide a means of rapidly assessing vaccine efficacy when applied to fine needle aspi

  Twin studies have shown that P has moderate heritability. Zuckerman (1989) reviewed the earlier studies of P or related traits and found a median heritability of 0.51. However, twin studies using an Eysenckian P scale have tended to estimate somewhat lower heritabilities than this, in the range 0.36

  Numerous studies have pointed to the DGAT reaction being critical for TAG assembly and in several cases it has been shown to limit carbon flux from lipid precursors towards TAG accumulation [12]. Thus, in Brassica napus, the DGAT substrate, diacylglycerol (DAG), accumulates during periods of rapid l

  2021-02-03

  

  Collagen alignment can contribute to tissue stiffening (Malik et al., 2015, Paszek et al., 2005), and ECM stiffness in turn is a powerful activator of integrin function (Levental et al., 2009). These findings highlight the contribution of the mechanical properties of the ECM to signal transduction.
